A permanent asynchronous pacemaker was implanted in a 2‐year‐old Shetland Sheepdog with complete heart block. Electrode implantation was via the transvenous method. One year after implantation the pacemaker unit began to fail. A new pacemaker, with a 7‐year battery expectancy, was substituted for the original unit. The subject is still leading a normal life, 1 ½ years after the use of the pacemaker.
