If a large dog could manage to stomach between twelve
ounces & a pound of cocoa mulch, it probably would die.
That much is true. Pile up that much of the stuff & then
try to imagine any dog finishing it off! *What are the
serious odds of a dog eating three-quarters of a pound to a
pound of such lightweight stuff at a go? We're talking
about a threat to dogs that are already psychologically
damaged, not to well-adjusted dogs.

i had a German Shorthair Pointer that finished off an entire
5 pound bag of sunflower seeds once. it didn't kill him but i
bet he wished he was dead... he had quite the impaction.
fortunately there was no cocoa hull mulch back then, or he
would have been the dog to eat enough of it to kill himself.
he wasn't neurotic, but he *was* brain damaged (no pain
response & grand mal seizures)

nice to see you back, paghat.
