âNormalâ ranges from 60 to 140 beats per minute in a resting dog â 60 to 100 in big dogs and 100 to 140 in little ones. While you can check the rate with your hand over the heart, you can also take a pulse by gently feeling the beat near the inside top of your dog's hind leg. The heart rate will be the same both places, so do whichever is easier for you and your dog.
