Does the weight of a dog affect how high the heart rate of a dog is?

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.


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.


Is the heart rate of a dog supposed to be consistent?

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.
