Dogs of all ages are subject to poisoning by lead but it is the growing dog of less than one year of age that is commonly involved in lead intoxication. The habit of chewing on objects of all kinds, particularly during the teething period, may bring the dog in contact with a sufficient amount of lead to produce acute or chronic poisoning. Lead based paint on wood, paper, and brushes is probably the most common source of lead for young dogs. Linoleum scraps and lead weights have also served to produce lead intoxication.
