WARNING!:🐕☠️

Please tell every dog or cat owner you know. Even if you don't have a pet, please pass this to those who do.
Over the weekend, the doting owner of two young lab mixes purchased Cocoa Mulch from Target to use in their garden. The dogs loved the way it smelled and it was advertised to keep cats away from their garden. Their dog (Calypso) decided the mulch smelled good enough to eat and devoured a large helping. She vomited a few times which was typical when she eats something new but wasn't acting lethargic in any way. The next day, Mom woke up and took Calypso out for her morning walk. Halfway through the walk, she had a seizure and died instantly.

Although the mulch had NO warnings printed on the label, upon further investigation on the company's web site,

This product is HIGHLY toxic to dogs and cats.

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."

*Snopes site gives the following information: http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/cocoamulch.asp .asp>

Cocoa Mulch, which is sold by 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.

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.

**PLEASE PASS THIS ON**

"Beneath every behavior there is a feeling. And beneath each feeling is a need. And when we meet that need rather than focus on the behavior, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom."

💕🐾💕🐾

In my upcoming live Love Trust Grow Challenge, I'll be teaching you about the 5 crucial needs that we need to meet for our dogs to thrive and to be happily cooperative.

Instead of focusing on more training, more socialization, more desensitization, more counter conditioning, more transacting ...

We can change our life and our relationship with our dogs by digging under the surface for root causes, and learning to make simple changes that work in real life.

I'm READY to work with you all week and get you and your dog started with your partnership lifestyle.❤️

I'll be teaching the 4 daily practices that diffuse reactivity, over-arousal, and other challenging behaviors...and create a calmer, happier, and more peaceful life with your dog.

You get PDF workbooks, and live daily classes where I'll answer your questions and teach you EXACTLY what you need to know so that you can start enjoying life with your dog.

You'll also get invited to our pop-up Facebook group full of support from me and my team, connection with dog moms just like you, and get answers to your questions about living in harmony with your dog.
