However, dogs may be attracted to the smell, and ingesting the mulch can be fatal. "....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)." http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/cocoamulch.asp Health Alert - Xylitol (in Sugar Free Gum) Xylitol is a sugar alcohol used in candy, chewing gum, chewable vitamins and throat lozenges, and when ingested by dogs it causes a dangerous surge in insulin. Just 8-10 pieces of gum can kill a 65 pound dog. 2-3 pieces could kill a small dog. http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/xylitol.asp |
