Mulch Products - Cocoa bean mulch is made of discarded hulls or shells of the cocoa bean, which are by-products of chocolate production.

Flowers and Plants - Some of the most dangerous spring and summertime threats to pets in the yard are common flowers and plants:
Lily of the Valley: An early springtime favorite, the Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis) contains cardiac glycosides, which are also used in many human heart medications. Any pet with a known exposure should be examined and evaluated by a veterinarian and treated symptomatically.
Crocuses: There are two types of crocus plants: one blooms in the spring and the other in the fall. The spring plants are more common and cause only gastrointestinal upset accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea in dogs and cats. However, the fall crocus is highly toxic and can cause severe vomiting, gastrointestinal bleeding, and multisystem organ failure with bone marrow suppression.If you witness your pet eating a crocus and you are not sure what variety it is, seek veterinary care immediately.
Lilies: Cat owners beware of lilies! While some types cause only minor symptoms when eaten, other varieties of the true lily family are deadly and highly toxic to cats; even the water in a vase containing true lilies is considered highly poisonous. If a cat consumes any part of these lilies, he or she needs immediate veterinary care to prevent kidney failure.
