Poisonous Mulch for Dogs

Spring has sprung and while I’m considering mulch I have some tips on what to stay away from in your gardens! I’m now researching this so thought I’d share what I’m finding –

 tips for dog owners:

  • Cocoa mulch: this is deadly to dogs so stay away from it even if you like the smell of chocolate
  • Any chemicals used on lawns is a no no- always ask before someone sprays
  • Slug and snail baits contain an active ingredient that is toxic called: metaldehyde
  • Compost: sounds impossible right? But when the organic matter decomposes molds grow and some can be hazardous

Always call your vet or the Pet Poison Control Helpline: 855-764-7661.
