COCOA MULCH
WARNING - DO NOT USE COCOA MULCH IF YOU OWN PETS

True information about the mulch can be found here -
 http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/cocoa.htm
Cocoa Mulch 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
have already occurred. 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 to make all chocolate
especially dark or baker's chocolate which is toxic to dogs.
Cocoa bean shells contain potentially toxic quantities of theobromine, a
xanthine compound similar in effects to caffeine and theophylline. A dog
that ingested a lethal quantity of garden mulch made from cacao bean shells
developed severe convulsions and died 17 hours later. Analysis of the
stomach contents and the ingested cacao bean shells revealed the presence
of lethal amounts of theobromine.
