Warning!

All dog lovers should know that chocolate is bad for their dogs.  Dogs cannot handle it.  But now there is a threat that you may not have thought of.  Mulch.

This new mulch is supposed to be good for the environment and is "all natural" but it is also very strongly fragrant of cocoa.  The product is HIGHLY toxic to cats and dogs.  This mulch is sold at garden supply stores.  It is manufactured by Hershey's.  Several deaths have happened from pets ingesting this product.  You can do everything in your power and if your neighbor has this mulch out and your pet gets loose, it is super dangerous.  The levels of theobromine are lethal.  The pets go into convulsions and die.  And the worst part is that this product has absolutely no warnings on it, though there are some brands that do have disclaimers.  It is better to be safe than sorry and keep your pets away from any cocoa mulch!
