Fwd: Flint Water & Pets (Preliminary & Deliberative Not Subject to FOIA)

Hi James: Below is the wording | propose to use on our water-specific fact sheet for Flint regarding pets (domestic animals: dogs, cats, birds, etc). Can you please confirm that this is reasonable? Would actually providing unfiltered water to pets be OK? Or do you recommend filtered water if it’s available? Use filtered water for: e Pets’ water bowls You can use unfiltered water for: e Baths Very little lead will absorb into your pet’s skin from the water. If you notice your pet acting differently than normal, please contact your vet. xxxEND_PAGE:deq14_b0691_2149_2150_1 ><{{{'> www michigan. gov/eatsafefish <'}}}>< Michelle Bruneau, MA Project Manager & Health Educator Michigan Department of Health & Human Services 201 Townsend, 4th FI Lansing, MI 48913 Direct: (517) 335-8984 Toll free: 1-800-648-6942 Fax: (517) 335-8800 bruneaum@michioan gov xxxEND_PAGE:deq14_b0691_2149_2150_2
