IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT COCOA MULCH!

A fairly recent arrival on the gardening market is cocoa mulch. It is made from cocoa shells, a by-product of chocolate manufacturing. While this is an attractive, ecologically sound option, it is potentially fatal to dogs. Vets have reported an increasing number of deaths in dogs who really like to eat the cocoa mulch.
The mulch contains a significant quantity of theobromine, a chemical relative to caffeine, and this is the same chemical that makes chocolate toxic to dogs.

So just a word of caution, check what you are using in your gardens and be aware of what your gardeners are using in your gardens - Information sent to Happy Paws via email.
