Harmful Product For Dogs
If you do have a dog, please note the
information
below about a product that can be harmful to dogs which came from the
Head of Welfare at Battersea Dogs Home:
Yesterday one of our dog agility friends experienced a tragedy and
wanted me to pass a special message along to all of my dog loving
friends and family. Please tell every dog owner you know.
Over the weekend the doting owner of two young lab mixes purchased
Cocoa Mulch from Target to use in their garden. They loved the way it
smelled and it was advertised to keep cats away from their garden.
Their dog Calypso decided that 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, Mum woke up and took Calypso out for her morning
walk. Half way through the walk, she had a seizure and died
instantly.
Although the mulch had NO warnings printed on the label, upon further
investigation on the company's website, this product is HIGHLY toxic
to dogs and cats.
Cocoa Mulch is manufactured by Hershey's, and they claim that "It is
true that 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). However, 98% of all dogs won't eat it."
Also included was the following information -
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 like chocolate
and it really attracts dogs. They will ingest this stuff and die.
Several deaths already occurred in the last 2-3 weeks. Just a word of
caution, check what you are using in your gardens and be aware of what
your gardeners are using in your gardens.
Cocoa bean shells contain potentially toxic quantities of theobromine,
a xanthine compound similar in effects to caffeine and theophylline. A
dog that ingested a lethal quantity of garden mulch made from cacao
bean shells developed severe convulsions and died 17 hours later.
Analysis of the stomach contents and the ingested cacao bean shells
revealed the presence of lethal amounts of theobromine.
Thanks to Sandy Waterton for this
infomation

Pedigree Information Required - can you help?
“Hilda
Stephenson (Drumwhaur) is trying to reconstruct the pedigree of her very first
Irish Setter bitch, DOLLERIE STRONA, which she had over thirty years ago.
Thanks to Mike Oakley and Sybil Lennox, some headway has been made, but an
anomaly with regard to dates had been a bit of a ‘brick wall’. The dam was
BRACKENFIELD FENELLA, who had two litters, and the sire may have been RAB
OF LAMOND. If anyone knows anything about this dog, his pedigree or his owners,
could they please contact Hilda ? Her DOLLERIE STRONA produced one litter to SH
CH BARNSFORDE WINSTON on 21st February 1975, which was registered under the TULLIEBELTON affix. If you know of anyone who had a Tulliebelton dog in
Scotland in the 1970s and 1980s, would you please put them in touch with Hilda.
