Exclamation

Reprinted from another BBS

Cocoa Mulch, which is sold by Sainsbury's Homebase, Home Depot, Foreman's Garden Supply and other Garden supply stores, contains a lethal ingredient called "Theobromine". It is lethal to dogs and cats. It smells like chocolate and it really attracts dogs. They will ingest this stuff and die. Several deaths already occurred in the last 2-3 weeks. 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. Theobromine is the ingredient that is used

Sounds suspiciously like an urban myth, but good call anyhow.

I'll rush out and buy some for the flowerbeds next to our door that are 20 feet from the drive and STILL owners let their dogs run on there...
