Is red mulch toxic to cats?

Question

I just had an outdoor enclosure built for my 2 cats (12 x 12). A portion of it has old, red mulch and dirt where grass won’t grow. I’d like to put down a new layer of mulch to neaten it up. Is it toxic to cats?

Answer 1

The dyes used in commercial mulch is considered pet and kid safe.
Dogs that eat mulch is another issue and perhaps a call to your vet would ease your concerns.
