Question 1

How is my dog's maximum heart rate calculated?

Accepted Answer

A dog's maximum heart rate varies by size. Small dogs typically have higher max heart rates (around 180-220 bpm), while large dogs have lower max rates (around 140-180 bpm). We use breed-size adjusted formulas.

Question 2

What are the different heart rate zones?

Accepted Answer

Zone 1 (50-60%) is for warm-up and recovery. Zone 2 (60-70%) builds aerobic endurance. Zone 3 (70-80%) improves anaerobic capacity. Zone 4 (80-90%) is for high-intensity training. Never exceed 90% for extended periods.

Question 3

How often should I check my dog's heart rate during exercise?

Accepted Answer

Check your dog's heart rate before, during, and after exercise. Resting heart rate should be 60-140 bpm depending on size. If heart rate stays elevated too long after exercise, reduce intensity.
