MULCH POISON
Cocoa Shell Mulch
(Forward Message)
A couple of days ago I sent various dog lists information received from the
UK about the death of a dog who ate a few pieces of this environmentally
friendly cocoa shell mulch that apparently contains the dangerous active
ingredient, theobromine. Apparently it smells very much like chocolate and
this can be a dog 'magnet'.
At the time it wasnt known if this new mulch was available in the US. It Is
We have reports from NJ and CA that it is available there in some Home
Depots. I just spoke to my local HD and so far they do not carry it. I
spoke to the Garden supervisor and he is passing the word along. Perhaps we
should all do the same before it become widely available.
Please pass this along.
ANIMAL ABUSE-The ultimate act of cowardice and mental derangement!!
