Normal pulse in cats: 130 - 240 beats per minute. How to check your cat's pulse/heartbeat: To check the pulse, feel for the femoral artery which is located close to the surface on the inside of the thigh at the groin. I found it difficult to find the femoral artery to check the pulse, another method which I found much easier was to feel the heartbeat. To do this press against the rib cage over the heart. With the cat standing, feel the pulse just behind the elbow. See image below. Either way, count the number of beats in 15 seconds & then multiply by 4 to get the total number per minute.

What would be a cause for a 30 pound dog to have a heart rate of 70 beats per minute during anesthesia?
I would consider this to be a normal heart rate for this size of dog. I have a 30lb dog and her resting heart rate is 60-65. Just depends on the breed and level of fitness etc. Anaesthesia can cause a lowering of heart rate in some dogs depending on what anaesthetic agent is used but this heart rate is fine as long as it is stable.

Not necessarily. The heart rate of a dog can be influenced by a variety of factors, including stress, excitement and exercise. But the heart beat of a dog should not "jump". If a dog's heart beat is maintaining a consistent rhythm of around 100 bpm, and then suddenly "jumps" followed by returning to normal, it could be a heart murmur. They are generally harmless, but can become quite severe. Call your veterinarian and ask him/her to ask listen to your dog's heart.

What is the average heart rate after a run?
The answer is dependent on how strenuous the run was, your age and physical condition, and how long after the run the pulse is taken. A 40 year old in moderate condition might reasonably work up a heart rate of about 140 on a run. That heart rate will decrease in the few minutes after the run but how quickly the decrease occurs depends on the individual. When a runner really overdoes the exercise, the heart rate may stay above 100 for quite a long time (10 minutes to an hour) after the run. Someone in great physical shape will have their heart rate almost back to the resting level in just a few minutes following a moderate run.
