Is an ECG dangerous or painful?


​An ECG is a simple, non-invasive test to perform. The ECG is performed with your pet standing or lying on their side. Electrodes are attached close to the elbows and knees. Then a conducting liquid is applied to improve electrical conduction between the dog's skin and the electrodes. The ECG equipment records the electrical impulses from the patient. There are no painful sensations and there is no danger to the pet.
