I know some chips/mulching may contain dyes, pesticides or antifungal treatments, does anyone know of a good "pretty" reddish colored chip that would be safe for me to use in my yard around my pugs. Some have suggested rocks...I don't want rocks......some the non colored "ugly" mulching and even that may still have something poisonous to pets. There must be something that is both pretty, inexpensive and yet safe for my dogs. I appreciate any input. Thanks for your time.

Any of the chips would be fine, except for cocoa bean chips or mulch. As they are the basis for chocolate, they can be extremely toxic to dogs.

You can buy natural cedar. They don't treat it and it is naturally like a fungicide. But just so you know, untreated mulch loses it's pretty red color one year later. Even the treated stuff doesn't stay that nice pretty color. So keep that in mind.

I got my cedar from Home Depot. The company was Western something, the cedar came in the clear bag with red lettering and it was just under 4.00 a bag . . .
