Gardeners who use cocoa mulch unwittingly put dogs at risk.
The mulch is made from the hulls of cocoa beans and contains theobromine, an ingredient also found in chocolate, which can be harmful to dogs. Attracted by the scent, some dogs eat the mulch, consuming quantities large enough to be toxic. To keep your dog safe and your garden green, use bark mulch as an alternative. |

LMAO OZZIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 It does sound tempting lol.Good post Pat !!!! I use a mushroom based mulch. My dog loves going out there and laying in the sun in it. And the barn cats are out there right now laying in it! Wish they were tame enough that I could take pictures of them up close . They look so cute out there with the tulip greens popping up. Just love the signs of spring! Hugz~ Bethy
