Question

Can you please tell me if there is a heart alarm available for dogs. The dog is being treated for a heart condition but heart just stops sometimes so is there a monitor we can attach to the collar or a belt that will set off an alarm when the dog's heart stops beating. Thank you.

Hi there and thanks for your question.

There really isn't anything like this available. Sometimes a veterinary cardiologist could apply something called a holter monitor which monitors the rhythms of the heart but it does not have an alarm on it.

I hope this information helps! If you have more questions regarding this problem, just hit reply. If I am online I will respond right away. Otherwise I will respond as soon as I come online again. Or, if my answer is sufficient, then please hit accept. Thanks!
Dr. Marie.
