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.

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.
