The easiest place to find the dogs pulse is in the upper third of their thigh. Place your hand over the top of their thigh, and gently squeeze your fingers just underneath their leg. You should be able to feel the artery pulsing at this point. The thumb has a strong pulse itself so DO NOT use this to take their pulse, otherwise you will be timing your own pulse rate! Time the pulse for 15 seconds and then multiply the result by 4 in order to calculate the number of beats per minute.
