阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

While gardens can be a great place for pets to explore and play, some seemingly harmless plants and gardening products can be poisonous for animals or pets. Here are the garden products to avoid: Cocoa mulch

Some gardeners like to use cocoa shell mulch in their gardens but, just like chocolate, cocoa shell mulch contains theobromine (可可碱), which is poisonous to dogs. This means that cocoa shell mulch can be potentially deadly if consumed in large quantities. If you own a dog I’d strongly advise that you avoid using Cocoa mulch in your garden.

Compost

Despite being an eco-friendly garden feature, compost can be highly dangerous for animal. As organic matter decomposes, it releases mycotoxins (霉菌素), which are poisonous to wildlife. Consumption of mycotoxins can cause panting, vomiting (呕吐), seizures and even death in dogs. If you do use compost in your garden, make sure it is securely fenced off so that your pet cannot access it. Weed killer

The chemicals contained in weed killers can be irritants to animals and, in some cases，even poisonous. Some weed killers contain harmful substances, such as borax and arsenic, which can potentially be fatal to pets. If you are unsure whether a weed killer is safe to use in a garden that your pet uses, you should always seek the manufacturer’s advice first, or ask a vet (兽医).

Fertiliser

Different fertilisers can contain a wide range of ingredients, including insecticides, fungicides and bacterial. The caustic nature of some fertilisers also means that, if consumed, they can cause stomach upsets for pets. Some fertilisers can also cause more serious symptoms, such as vomiting, muscle tremors or even death, so keeping your garden fertiliser free is the simplest way to ensure that it is pet friendly.

If you think your pet has eate n something they shouldn’t, or if you have any other concerns about your pet’s health, you can call the video vet service FirstVet at any time of day and speak with a qualified UK vet.
