To measure a dog's heart rate, you can place your fingers on the inside of their thigh or on their chest to feel the heartbeat; count the beats for 15 seconds and multiply by four for the beats per minute. For blood pressure, a veterinary sphygmomanometer is used, usually on the dog's foreleg or tail; the cuff is inflated and then slowly deflated while listening for the heartbeat with a Doppler or stethoscope to determine systolic and diastolic pressures. It's best to have a veterinarian perform these measurements for accuracy and safety.

What causes blood pressure to rise and heart rate and change of breathing while sleeping?
when heart rate increases, blood pressure rises. When heart rate decreases, blood pressure drops. medications, and diseases affects the blood pressure. Source: About Blood Pressure
What is the relationship between the heart and blood pressure?
Heart rate and blood pressure are intimately related. Nerves and hormones constantly monitor and balance the heart rate and blood pressure.
How the human heart could compensate for flow rate changes to maintain blood pressure?
The human heart could compensate for flow rate changes to maintain blood pressure by setting the pace at which it beats and maintains blood flow. When a heart rate increases, blood pressure will rise, and when a heart rate decreases, blood pressure will drop.
What does nicotine do to your heart rate?
It affects the heart and blood pressure by increases them both. An increased heart rate and blood pressure can be serious depending on how much it increases them both. It increases heart rate and blood pressure and increases the workload on the heart
What is the good combination of heart rate and Blood Pressure?
blood pressure 120/80 heart rate between 60-100
How does high blood pressure affect your pulse rate?
The higher the blood pressure the faster your heart rate
What causes more heart diseases heart rate or high blood pressure?
High blood pressure
What is the difference between blood pressure and heart rate?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the wall of arteries and veins. Heart rate is the BPM or beats per minute.
Why is it dangerous for dogs to eat coffee?
Caffeine is bad for dogs. It can cause vomiting and diarrhea, an increased heart rate, high blood pressure and even seizures.
Does arteriole blood pressure increase in response to increased heart rate?
Blood pressure.
What's the difference between heart rate and blood pressure?
Heart rate refers to the number of times your heart beats per minute, while blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of your arteries. Heart rate is measured in beats per minute, while blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
Does blood pressure affect heart rate?
Does blood pressure affect your heart rate? Regular heart rate is 60-100. Increase in heart rate within this normal range increases cardiac output and blood flow/volume; therefore, increases blood pressure. In healthy people, even with heart rate increase, there is not an important spike in blood pressure, because healthy vessels will dilate to accommodate more blood flow. The increase in blood pressure is usually small and doesn't pose risks. Increased heart rate and cardiac output decreases blood pressure if heart rate is extremely high. When heart rate is high (out of normal range 60-100 beats per minute), there is no time for the heart to fill with blood (preload) resulting in low stroke volume; therefore, reduced blood pressure. Remember, the heart spends more time in diastolic (preload time) than systolic (contraction of the heart). When heart rate is too high, this normal diastolic time is reduced which contribute to low stroke volume and low blood pressure. stroke volume is affected by Preload, Afterload, and Contractility
