I wouldn't suggest just letting your dog chew on a pencil, but I don't think it will kill them. My dog has chewed on several pencils (without me knowing until finding the evidence) and so far nothing has happened to her. She was still the same as far as hyper activity and she didn't vomit or have diarrhea. But, with that, all dogs are different just as people are different and one dog might react to something differently than another.
There is no lead in pencil - Pencil is made from graphite
pencil . The 'lead' in a pencil is actually graphite.
Actually, the "lead" of a pencil is not lead at all. It is actually graphite. If it were lead, you would get very sick and die from lead poisoning...and as tasty as that pencil tip may look, it probably wont taste good and you really shouldn't eat it. Nonetheless, the graphite probably wont hurt too bad even if you decide to eat it.
pencil is use in chromography because the pencil is made from lead
Lead pencils actually contain graphite, not lead. The "lead" in a pencil is a mix of graphite and clay.
Lead (to walk a dog) and lead (lead in a pencil).
If it is real led (which most likely not) it is VERY poisonous and can even kill the dog. But, if you have the new pencils which led is made out of graphite it shouldn't really hurt the dog but you should talk to your vet about how much the dog consumed and see if it will hurt the dog and stuff like that.
no way, it could choke
Well the stuff in a pencil is lead, if you eat or ingest a lot of it you might die or get really sick.
A typical lead pencil does not actually contain lead. The "lead" in a pencil is made of graphite, which is a crystalline form of carbon. Therefore, there is 0% lead in a lead pencil.
Yes you can die from eating led but, if it was a number 3 pencil that someone ate its graphite and you can only die from lead if you eat a lot of it for example half of a pencil or a whole pencil.

You will die a slow and very painful death.
Pencil lead is a compound
If your asking if the pencil has Lead, then the answer is that most pencils do NOT have lead in them anymore.
Pencil lead isn't really lead, it is graphite, a form of carbon. Pencil lead doesn't have any lead in it whatsoever.
In the USA, they no longer put lead in pencils. It is now graphite - a non-toxic substance.
