Resources for Childhood Blood Lead Testing:

New Jersey’s Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention program is part of the DHSS Division of Family Health Services. NJ State law requires that all children be screened for lead exposure at the ages of 12 and 24 months. Information on the program and screening can be found at the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention website. Parents should discuss concerns they have about their children’s exposures to lead from any source with their pediatrician or other health care provider.

The DHSS was asked about dogs and exposures to lead. Petplace.com has given us permission to link to their website and fact sheet on dogs and lead poisoning:

http://www.petplace.com/dogs/lead-toxicity-in-dogs/page1.aspx

If you have any concerns about your pet’s health, you should see your veterinarian.
