What is the normal heart rate for dogs?

  1. 50-70 beats per minute

  2. 60-80 beats per minute

  3. 70-90 beats per minute

  4. 80-100 beats per minute

The correct answer is: 60-80 beats per minute

The normal heart rate for dogs typically ranges from 60 to 80 beats per minute. This range reflects the healthy functioning of a dog's cardiovascular system during rest. Various factors can affect this rate, including the dog's size, breed, age, and level of physical fitness. Generally, smaller breeds may have a slightly higher heart rate, while larger breeds often have a lower range. Understanding this normal rate is essential for anyone involved in canine health and welfare, as deviations from this range can indicate potential health issues. A heart rate consistently below or above this normal range may warrant veterinary attention, indicating possible stress, anxiety, or underlying medical conditions.
