Mulch - can be dangerous for your pets!

by Filed under Pet News, Pets and Poisons

Dangers for your dogs and cats in your backyard!

It’s spring time and the gardening season in full swing. If you are a dog/cat owner and your pooch is allowed in your yard we recommend NOT to use cocoa mulch. This mulch is made from the hulls of cocoa beans. Cocoa (and chocolate) contain theobromine, that is proven to be harmful - even deadly - to dogs and cats. Some animals are so attracted to the scent of this mulch that they could be consuming large, toxic quantities.

If your animals are allowed in your yard, use bark mulch instead.
