What is a Normal Pulse Pressure for a Dog?

Published in Animal Health 1 min read

A normal pulse pressure for a dog can vary depending on factors such as age, breed, and overall health. However, a general range is between 20 and 40 mmHg.

Pulse pressure is the difference between the systolic blood pressure (the pressure when the heart beats) and the diastolic blood pressure (the pressure when the heart rests between beats).

A higher pulse pressure can indicate a problem with the heart or blood vessels, while a lower pulse pressure can be a sign of dehydration or low blood volume.

It is important to note that these are just general guidelines, and a veterinarian should always be consulted for a definitive diagnosis.
