This is when they are laying on the lounge next to me so very resting! Vets comment all the time how their heart rates are so low and ask are they fit.

Swizzlestick Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 After 6kms next to the bike Lewis's HR is around 78bpm After 6km next to a bike, my HR would be 0. Does that make me really fit, or dead!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 If I ran next a bike for 6kms I would be dead!!! lUckily I get to ride it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigsaw Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 My dog's resting heart rate is pretty low around 40bpm. When I took her in to the emergency vet for eating a bluebottle a couple of years ago (she was fine!) the vet became more worried as her heart rate was in the 70's. Which they thought was too low for a stressed dog. They did an ECG which was fine. She does have a minor heart murmur but it was barely audible last vet check. She is very fit which I believe is why her heart rate is so low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth. Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) Lotties (19mth old Aussie Shep) is around 52bpm today - although it's a bit warm and she's breathing quite heavily/rapidly, so would be interesting to see when her breathing is a bit different!! I'm also going to see what it is after our bike ride today - that'll be interesting!! Edited April 20, 2011 by LuvLottie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucknow Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hugo (48kgs) was 78 at work yesterday but he is sore and sick fighting an infection post ortho surgery, normally in the 50's i think. Sasha (overweight at 20kg, should be around 18kg) about 100-120, definately not a fit dog! Interesting conversation actually, the heart rates already posted are much much lower than we generally see at work. I can generally raise eyebrows when I tell the vets about a pointer I was 'vetting' at an Endurance Trial a few years back. Heart Rate prior to the start was 60, after the first leg it was 56 and never wavered from that. It is almost unheard of for us to see animals with that level of fitness in our practice. I would be interested to compare the obviously athletic dogs rates posted here with their rates at the vets. Somehow I think we would just get more proof the average patient we see is underexercised and undersocialised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSoSwift Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 When my Dobe did her ET her HR from the vets (On her fitness certificate) was 78 - but she hated being on the table etc. When we did the ET the vet asked me if she ever got excited about anything?? She rested her head on the hand of the lady holding her and rested while he checked HR, pads etc. One of her HR check ins was 60, not sure about the others. Every single time mine get their HR checked at the vets I get a comment, usually is she/he quite fit. I answer yes reasonably, as I don't work really hard to get them ultra fit we just do what we do and I don't like having overweight dogs and we live on acreage and go walking etc a fair bit. At the moment Lewis is in traiing for his ET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Checked Lewis's again tonight when he was awake but laying next to me on the lounge. I did it over a full minute on a few occassions. He got 33 and 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
