This info came from the doberman rescue group.  A woman bought a bag of Cocoa Mulch that will repel cats.  Target and most stores where you can buy mulch carries this. 


She put the mulch down and her dogs started rolling in it.  One ate a bit of it and got sick.  She was walking him the next day when he dropped dead. 


There are no warning signs on the bag, but the harmful ingredient comes from the cocoa bean.  The same toxic chemical that is in chocolate.


The company said that MOST animals don't eat it.  So even though it will kill your pet because MOST won't eat it they don't put a warning label on the bag.


And if it is a cat repellent, it seems that this company feels that it is OK to kill cats.


If you see this in a store, please protest to the manager.
