PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT FOR USE IN YOUR GARDENS. YOUR PETS AND YOUR NEIGHBOR'S PETS COULD DIE.
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 . Half way through the walk, she had a seizure and died instantly.
This product is HIGHLY toxic to dogs and cats
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 li ke chocolate and it really attracts dogs. They will ingest this stuff and die. Several deaths already occurred in the last 2-3 weeks.
If you use mulch in your garden make sure it is natural and not treated with chemicals harmful to animals.

Walk your dog on St. Patrick's Day!
Come out and join us on Sunday, March 14th at 2pm for the 76th Huntington St. Patrick's Parade!
It's a great day to dress up your little dog in Irish attire and get out for a walk!
Over the past 76 years, the parade has grown to become the oldest and largest on Long Island. While there are only a few folks around who remember that first St. Patrick's day parade, they will tell you that it is the day Huntington puts her best face forward and everyone has a wee bit of Irish in them.
Each year up to 50,000 current and former residents jam Huntington Village for this wonderful family and community event. Hope to see lots of dog lovers there!
PARADE ROUTE: Starts just North of the Huntington Rail Road Station on NY Avenue (Rt 110) and continues to Main Street where it turns West and ends at St Patrick's Church.
