CANINE NORMAL VALUES
The normal values for dogs are breed-specific. Those for Golden Retrievers, Labradors and
giant breeds tend to be lower than the overall average, and those for greyhounds and in general
racing hounds tend to be higher. The table that follows, lists the normal values for common dog
breeds using oscillometric blood pressure monitors.
Average canine blood pressure: 133/75
This figure was calculated as the mean of 1782 oscillometric measurement in clinically healthy
dogs of different breeds. The overall average is therefore serves as a point of reference only.
The individual, or at least breed-specific value must be known to most accurately determine
whether a given patient’s blood pressure deviates from normal.
