Cocoa Mulch can be dangerous for your pets

Make sure to buy your ground covers and mulches from Aguinaga Green. Our products are safe for your children and pets.

Cocoa mulch, which is sold at stores like Home Depot and other garden supply centers, can be dangerous to pets. Cocoa mulch contains theobromine and caffeine - two ingredients that could be fatal to dogs.

If a dog eats a few ounces of cocoa mulch, they could get stomach problems. It is especially dangerous for smaller breeds. Dogs may start to act restless and have seizures.

Cocoa mulch contains 300 to 1200 mg. of theobromine per ounce, which makes cocoa mulch one of the strongest concentrations of theobromine a pet may encounter.
