Cocoa Mulch

Cocoa mulch, made from cocoa beans, has two ingredients in it that are lethal to dogs, caffiene and theobromine. It smells like chocolate and can attract dogs tempted to eat it. Dogs metabolize theobromine much slower than us humans and for this reason, it can be toxic to dogs.

We are not sure how much mulch the dog would have to ingest for this to cause a problem, but we thought we would put this out there for all our furry friends. There are so many other safer mulch options, why take a chance?

Other foods (some not so obvious) dogs should avoid: Chocolate, Coffee, Caffiene, Avocados, Grapes and Raisons, Onions, Garlic, Chives, Milk, Salt, Xylitol, Raw Eggs, Raw Meat or Bones, Yeast Dough, Macadamia Nuts and Alcohol.

Easter baskets filled with our all natural dog treats are now available, hide the treat filled eggs and let the Easter egg hunt begin!

Good news! The recent outbreak of the swine flu doesn't seem to present a risk to our favorite four legged friends.

"Currently there's no data demonstrating any risk of dogs and cats contracting this strain of the virus," says Dr. Louise Murray, Director of Medicine at the ASPCA's Bergh Memorial Hospital in New York City. "However, owners of pet pigs, as well as farmers, should monitor their animals' health more closely and take steps to limit transmission from humans to pigs and vice versa."

For the latest information about the outbreak and your pet's health, please visit the Center for Disease Control http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu.
