- Cocoa Mulch, which is sold by Target, 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.Cocoa Mulch is manufactured by Hershey's, and they claim
that "It is true that studies have shown that 50% of the dogs that eat Cocoa
Mulch can suffer physical harm to a variety of degrees (depending on each
individual dog). However, 98% of all dogs won't eat it."Theobromine is in 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. Date Posted: 4/27/10

- There are great formulas out there to come up with numbers for how many
pets are in your community, but the AVMA has provided a handy calculator so
all you have to do is plug in the number of households in your particular city
or county or state. To get those numbers go to:
Pet Ownership Calculator:
ownership calculator
And how best to get the number of households? One way is to go to US Census at
http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/ . Remember - this is based on
'households' not individuals.
