Healthy dog facts
- Mucous membranes should be pink
Exact shade varies from dog to dog. Check when you know your dog is healthy to establish a normal baseline
Mucous membranes include gums, cheeks, and eyelids - Normal heart rate is 100 to 150 beats per minute, but should be lower in large and giant breeds.
Take the pulse where the rear legs meet the body, in a shallow groove between muscles on the inside of the thigh. Press gently with two fingers. (Practice on the carotid artery to the side of your own trachea.) - Normal respiratory rate is 15 to 20 breaths a minute
- Normal body temperature is 101 to 102 degrees Farenheit
Use a digital rectal thermometer (a glass thermometer might break, causing mercury poisoning and trauma from glass shards). Put K-Y Jelly on the thermometer for lubrication and gently insert just the tip into the anus. Hold the thermometer so it won’t slip out. Clean the tip with soap and thoroughly rinse it after use.
