Esky the husky Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Shared from facebook Please tell every dog or cat owner you know. Even if you don't have a pet, please pass this to those who do. Cocoa Mulch, which is sold by TARGET, Foreman's Garden Supply and other garden supply stores contains a lethal ingredient called ' Theo bromine'. 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. Although the mulch has NO warnings printed on the label, upon further investigation on the company's website, this product is HIGHLY toxic to dogs and cats.

Dogsrawesome Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Thats horrible poor dogs must have been painful to die from that. Well thanks for sharing this hopefully they will put a label on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inevitablue Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I think Thio Bromine is the ingredient in chocolate that makes it toxic as well for dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I don;t think that is an issue in Australia, as it's not sold here or wasn't last time the warning was posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please check ( on this site ) or even google about this warning. I believe you will find this product is not sold in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felix Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Is that time again? The same thing appears every six months or so for last few years. This mulch is not sold in Australia, so no need to panic. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danois Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I think the myth busting website - is it Snopes? has dismissed this one already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
