The normal respiratory rate for dogs is 16 to 20 breaths per minute.

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.
No there bodies keep developing at their normal rate
The rate of respiration is the number of breaths per minute. All you have to do is count either the number of breaths in OR out (not both) in one minute. To get more reliable results, the experiment should be repeated several times.

Yes, a dog's weight can influence its heart rate, as larger dogs generally have slower heart rates than smaller breeds. Heavier dogs may have a lower resting heart rate due to their larger heart size and greater overall body mass. However, factors such as age, fitness level, and health conditions also play significant roles in determining a dog's heart rate. Therefore, while weight is a factor, it is not the sole determinant of heart rate in dogs.
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.

According to Dr Tammy Shearer in "Emergency First Aid for Your Cat", normal respiratory rate is 24 to 28 breaths per minute. NOrmal temperature is 100.5 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit, and normal pulse/heart rate is 110 to 140 beats per minute.
if it looks uncomfortable, consult a vet to be safe.
Toy dogs (Chihuahuas, Maltese and Yorkshire Terriers, and others under ten pounds) have a normal rate of 100 to 160 beats per minute.
