A member asked:
I was visiting my cousins and their dog has a shock collar. the dog was siting on my lap and i have an icd implant. could this have damaged my device?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Really unlikely: but the shock collar is not active all the time. So if it didn't fire, then I'm not sure it's even possible for it to have any interaction with the ICD. If it did fire, then, it would be very unlikely.
