Cocoa Mulch: Poison to Pets

Cocoa mulch smells heavenly, just like chocolate, which is why you should not use it if you have a dog. Dogs, like many of us, love chocolate, but chocolate is toxic to them.
Shadow loves sweets


Cocoa Mulch is advertised as a method of keeping cats out of the garden. Cats usually are not attracted to candy, chocolate, or other sweets. 

Lady eats anything!
Cocoa Mulch is manufactured by Hershey's and sold at many home and garden centers in the United States. While Hershey's claims that 98% of all dog's won't eat it, most dogs I know will taste of anything that smells like chocolate. Our beagle pup, shown above, eats plain mulch, so I'm sure she'd eat it if it smelled like chocolate.
