Taking an animal's pulse, temperature, respiration, capilary refill etc. gives the caregiver an idea of whether the animal's vital signs are normal.
Ex. the normal heart rate for a horse is around 35 beats per minute. A heart rate that exceeds the high end of normal may indicate that the horse is in pain or ill.
