  • If you suspect that your dog ate pencil lead, you should bring them to the vet, because lead can make your dog anemic and they will require immediate assistance. This happens because lead has the ability to substitute itself to calcium and zinc in the cells, slowly destroying them from the inside.

Lead is a dangerous substance that if ingested by dogs can cause a variety of serious consequences including anemia, gastrointestinal disorders, lethargy and anorexia, and neurologic or behavioral changes. While infrequent, lead poisoning can be treated if diagnosed quickly and managed carefully.
