Normal Heart Rate For Small Dog For Sale (2024 Update)

Received the Heartbeat Lamb as part of a puppy bundle, and it sat atop all the other items in the box (great selection too, highly recommend the Puppy Bundle from PetCircle!). My 8 week old Pugapoo saw it, grabbed it and hasn't stopped playing with it since. It has become her best friend, snuggle mate and punching bag, all at once. Lolz. This poor lambikins gets a real beating every day and has held together remarkably well. Highly recommended!Yvonne

I bought this for my Whippet Puppy. She was a bit restless during crate training and needing to be left alone for short periods. She snuggles this toy and it really comforts her. She falls asleep on top of it regularly. I only wish the heart beat lasted more like an hour before shutting off but otherwise this is great. She also loves just to play with the toy as well so all in all I really think it's a great thing especially for puppies who don't have another dog to keep them company.Jasmine

There are a few things not good with this product – the one I got (a gift, not from Pet Circle) actually didn't even have a heated rock, but instead came with a mini wheat /heat pack, contrary to packaging. Also, the zip to the tummy pouch is very chewable so I cut it out with scissors to prevent it being a hazard (possible to do without ruining it, just the pouch now has no zip). Despite this, my puppy loves this toy and is thrilled when I get it out. It's a good size and kind of solid feeling – very good for cuddling or attacking depending on his mood. It is also the only stuffed toy he hasn't chewed a hole in, so and it's been through the wash multiple times and still looks good.Emma

My dog Loki is my baby, and means everything to me. He's always been very jumpy and hates to be left alone, and is always by my side. He carries his toys around the whole house, and snuggles with them when he sleeps. This is by far his new favorite, and he brings it everywhere with him. It is so soft, and even though it's a good size it's still lightweight for him to carry. It's very cool because it actually has a piece in it that replicates a heart beat, which soothes him when he's anxious. It's quick and easy to turn it on and off. He used to constantly lick his paws until they were raw, and when he has this with him he doesn't lick anymore. This is such a cute toy, and I love that it helps my dog relax.Jalise

The anxiety dog toy is a quality dog toy. We have two mature dogs golden retriever and yellow laborer. Both dogs are constantly playing with the toy / stuffed animal. They love to trot around the house and ultimately sleep on their dog beds with the stuff animal. The toy appears solid and the dogs like and find comfort. Overall quality product would recommend purchasingRoseNicaMarisGar

Works great. Mother and puppy both enjoy the comforting sounds of the heart beat. The puppy wasted no energy whining for its mother. Easy to wash. Just remove heart and wash.Scott

I was ready to have to do some kind of pairing process and to have to trouble shoot but all I had to do was put it on and start peddling and my Rogue Echo found it and had my heart rate showing on the display without needing any inputs from me. Nice job! The only issue is that I wish I could change the battery. I hate built in obsolescence in products. It is wasteful and dishonest with your public. Just build a good product, making it break on purpose so I have to get a new one is bad for the environment and the world.Tesla5000

I purchased the non-coded Polar T34 HRM based on Precor Support's recommendation to get a heart rate display on a Precor EFX elliptical without having to hold the metal handles. This HRM connected immediately, without having to pair. I like it, works great, no battery hassles – only uses a built-in battery that will last a very long time.Gregory B.

Bought the T34 to replace a T31 where the rubber had broken at the strap attachment point. (The electronics in the T31 still work.) The T34 gives highly inaccurate readings during too much of measurement periods when paired with A3 and FS3 wrist units. I am very disappointed in this Polar product, and having been a long-time Polar user (I began with a SmartEdge many years ago), I am sorry to say I will not likely be a Polar customer in the future.Frank H.

Chloe had been taking Enalapril for about a year. It's amazing how it has made her healthy and strong combined with her other two medications. She has an enlarged heart and blood pressure problems. But she is doing so muc better now!Mark1948

My Maggie is very old and has been on this medication for almost 3 years. All her symptoms aren't completely gone but with medication and proper diet it has prolonged her life. For a 15 year old chihuahua she is still spry for an old dog.Paul

I've used heart rate training for many years and now am teaching the next generation of racers about it. Most all of our team ride with their phones so the chest strap along with Polar Beat is the least expensive way to get heart rate. The H10 is a solid performer. Although, it seems that the battery life is not as good as chest straps I have had in the past. Maybe all modern chest straps use more battery and need to be changed more often. Also, it seems that the strap/phone combo works better when the phone is in a pack or bag and not up against my back in a jersey pocket. All in all, I'm extremely happy with the H10.Paul A.

I bought this chest strap as it is rated as the most accurate heart monitor you can get. I like that I get instantaneous heart rate and the monitor links via Bluetooth to my treadmill, so I have constant feedback of where I am at during my training. It also has a mobile app, Polar Beat, that it works with on my phone that also gives great data feedback on stats from my exercise. I bought this chest strap because the FitBit I use has some "lag" during heart rate monitoring and I wanted something that I could use that gave me real-time information so I can see when my heart rate is increasing AND decreasing during exercise. This chest strap is super comfortable and works well for me!Preparing4thefuture

I recently bought a Sunny stepper (thinking I could get away with going low-end). The "computer" on the machine would have been impressive 30 years ago. One of the features is a pulse-sensor pad, something that makes a huge amount of sense for a geezer like me. Except, the pulse sensor is ridiculously inaccurate. Since I've reentered the world of aerobics (it's been a decade; the guy I was following for bodywork routines said weight work was sufficient. My last physical put the lie to that story), I decided I need to track heart rate more carefully than I ever did in my youth or middle-age. After looking around, I decided to go with this puppy. It's somewhat overpriced, but I had a big credit from CapitalOneShopping, and figured, why not? I almost love the device and the app that comes with it. Almost. I mean, the device itself is fine. I'm guessing swapping out the battery will not be as trivial as they suggest, but that's really a nit. And the app is probably a 7 or 8. But the main thing, the device works and works well. A definite buy.rhoneyman

My order got to me in 24 hours, vaccines were surrounded by ice packs. My dog had no adverse reactions. Very pleased with Valley Vet SupplyJ. Dogghio

My 13 y/o furbaby has cardiac problems as a result of a serious heart murmur. Furosemide just one of 3 drugs keeping him with us. He is our joy!❤️Christine

My oldest kitty has cardiomyopathy and takes furosemide daily. This drug is keeping him healthy and he has had the diagnosis for almost a year. We tried order furosemide from another site and the pill came yellow and crumbly and did not give the same benefits. The ones from VetRxDirect are always high quality, white and easy to cut. So happy to have a reliable source.Kelsey

Furosemide causes my little guy to get dehydrated at times. Several times have had some kidney issues due it but that is the name of the game when dealing with heart patients. Watch your dogs close on this for signs of dehydration we have lots of water available for the little guy but for a 13 lb dog it seems to really just tear him up at times. We also give with a renal supplement to make sure he is getting the electrolytes he needs, we also on occasion do pedyilite for him. Talk to your vet about possibilities of this happening to your dog on this med. It works great but at times can work too well on the little guys. Greatly improved the amount of water getting into his lungs from his heart condition and decreased his cough.Danielle

This is a cool little device for your dog to see how active they are and if they are getting sufficient exercise and sleep etc. The app and team are very helpful and responsive if you have any questions about functions or set up. You get email tips for health concerns relating to the tracker.kimom11

I have an 8 month old American Bulldog that needs a lot of exercise, and this tracker makes sure he gets it. I originally was just looking for a good GPS tracker but when I saw that this one tracked his health I was very excited. I use Fitbit so glad to see that I can link them. I like the safe zone feature that alerts me if he leaves the yard. We live in a rural area and have a fenced acre that Im sure if he wanted to chase a deer or something could get out of. All features work as expected and I recommend this tracker.2007shinn

My vet recommended Adequan for my now 12yr old German Shepherd with Degenerative Myelopathy. This works wonders in addition to the other arthritis and pain medications he is on. We've been able to slow the progression and keep him happy and moving. He seems less stiff and he's able to get up (slowly of course) onto the couch again. He even has bouts of energy were he runs and plays with the other dogs outside in the yard. I'm so happy we are able to keep our best friend comfortable in his golden years.Katee R

I cannot say enough good about this product. It does not have to break down in the body like the tablets and goes right to work. If you don't have a problem with needles, this is your go to for your arthritic pet. My girl also tore ACL and too high risk for surgery. This along with therapy is a great help!Phyllis G

Our little dog with leg joint problems was in pain and barely able to walk. Often, her leg kept collapsing and she would not eat the joint supplements we initially tried. I was so glad to see her walk again and being in better spirits without the pain in her hind legs after she is on the Adequan injections. Adequan really made a big difference!Carola T

Great fitting harness and the adjustable neck section is great . I've had other harnesses in the past and whilst they fit my English Staffordshire around the body I found they got to a point where they were difficult to get on and off over his big lump of a head . Overall a great product and I'll definitely look at getting the bigger one once he outgrows this one .Scott M

I have a 70lb Xoloitzcuintli (Mexican Hairless). I purchased both the Hurtta Cooling Coat and the Swamp Cooler Dog Vest by Ruffwear. Both are made from similar material and work the same way. The Hurtta coat has much more coverage, has extended hind end flaps and front chest flaps, resembles a horse jacket. Whereas the Ruffwear is more of a fitted vest. I would have given the Hurtta Cooling Coat 5 stars however, the stitching that secured the chest strap isn't reinforced and tore out of the material the first time used. I then outfitted the dog in the Ruffwear Swamp Vest, which worked beautifully. Since my dog is hairless it was easy to feel how well the vest worked. Placing my hand on exposed skin, then touching skin under the vest, there was a noticeable difference in temperature however his skin was dry – just cooler. I have stitched the Hurtta strap back on and feel it will be equally as good if not better than the Ruffwear due to it's increased surface area.Laura

As a previous Polar customer I know about the Polar quality thought there are a few odd things that could be improved with some of there other components. This sensor works great as expected. Paired right up with my new Bryton 15 Neo cycling computer. So if your wondering in Bluetooth Smart is compatable with BLE yes they are the same standard looks like the changed the name at some point. Not sure which one is the current term I'm guessing BLE. So this sensor can work with any new bike computer that accepts BLE and has a HM feature. It can also work with IOS apple phones. If you want the most accurate heart rate for training, a chest strap model like this works great. For this heart sensor, the design is better than some other Polar products and the battery can be easily replaced without tools. Polar is known for it's accuracy and they are one of the pioneers in the heart sensor athletic area. It's not for everyone I guess but it works great for me. I also got a matching Polar Bluetooth Smart cadence sensor as well that also paired up nicely with the Bryton 15 Neo. The following applies to the related bike sensor by Polar which is not part of this product but related to those who are cyclists and may be interested. As mentioned earlier, the bike sensors though very compact have non user replaceable batteries in them. The Polar company would like customers to think they need to buy a whole new sensor. I think that was a bad decision on the part of the company because customers just won't do that. Instead they buy a competing product instead. I'm sure the company has see a decline in the usage of their cycling computers as a result. In fact, I beleive they no longer make a bike computer. They shot theirself in the foot with that non user replacable battery. The good news however, you can pry the bike sensor apart with a razor blade and replace the interior battery its a cr 1632 and there is a YT video on line that shows you how to do it very easy if your a little handy.dananton485

This is my fourth Polar 7 purchase over the last 2 1/2 years. In the past I have sent in Polar 7 for repair, but the cost of this was so high(2 shipping charges + $ 13.95 service charge) that it made sense to buy a new one. I keep extras around to make sure I have one that works. When it works, it's great. When cold it can give readings that jump in wild spikes from 0 to 200 bpm. Warming the sensor reduces these fluctuations to a minimum so I put on the Polar 7 with strap about 30 minutes before my exercise session begins. Reversing the strap and putting the Polar 7 sensor up against my skim works even better. Polar 7 functions only when in WIFI range such as Gym or at home.Girts A.

These are awesome treats for training! We recently adopted a very overweight dog and I have to be careful with his calories. These are only 1 1/2 calories per treat, and are soft enough to be broken into smaller pieces. We also use them with our other dog to place her medicine inside of. These are awesome and so affordable!brianna.w

These are a great training treat for my pup! They are small so I can give many without much worry about the calories. My pup loves all the flavors I have tried so far (beef, bacon, and chicken). They are soft and have a strong scent. They leave my hands and whatever I put them in smelling like them, but the scent gets my pup excited and is part of what my pup loves! The bag they come in is resealable and leaves the scent locked in (at least for me, my pup can most likely still smell them because she always knows). Highly recommend as training treats and positive reinforcement for pups!lizzie.p

First box arrived openned and device not responsive. Not impressed with Halfords for this but easily and quickly dealt with which was good. Device fits on upper arm descreetly when wearing a short sleeve cycle jersey and it works. Unlike various chest hrms I've had. The record without pairing facility will come in handy once in a while. The device works for me but can be slow to respond to shirt hard efforts though overall it tracks work done nicely. Pros outweigh the cons for me.TimboCo12675

I wear it around my upper arm. Use it for running, hiking, and soccer. Preferred heart rate monitor over the other straps and one optical sensor I have. Chest straps are more uncomfortable, especially when dripping with sweat. During soccer, I've had soccer balls hit the chest strap and sensor. Also, chest straps don't work well for me in cold dry weather.larry_nj

This is actually a Birthday present for myself so I just tested it enough to make sure it works with my Suunto Ambit3 Peak. It's a super reliable GPS watch but I have grown to utterly hate the chest strap HRM it comes with. Very uncomfortable, falls down when running and often doesn't even connect. From reviews this looks like the ideal solution and it's so much more comfortable on a forearm than on a chest strap. It connected, read accurately then went back in the box ready to be "gifted" to me on my birthday in two weeks time! Excellent comms and delivery time from First Class Watches and a discount code made it very good VFM.Matt S

Had it now for a few weeks and used both indoor (with Zwift) and outdoor. Readings are consistent and appear to be accurate. Strap is comfortable across the chest. Previously had a Tickr and a couple of comparisons: H9 feels a more solid unit Tickr has flashing lights when first connecting (so at least you know there is life in the unit)leedh

This was simple. I have an older Pulse monitor and the sensor died. Happily, the new H9 sensor was backward compatible with my old pulse monitor. Strapped on the new chest belt and sensor and everything worked perfectly.Charlie B.

I have been using Polar products for years. All of their chest straps are recognized by most treadmills and workout equipment. I purchased the Polar Oh1 with the same pretense. It synced perfectly with my V800. However, all the treadmills at my gym does not see this device. Meaning it does not communicate with it. Now Im back to using my chest strap in the gym and using the OH1 outside. I was hoping to eliminate the chest strap. Well, I guess I did outdoors. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this item for its functionalityavenger211

I've tried 3 different watches with pulse monitors on them and they are great at measuring HR when at rest, but are all completely useless whenever it gets to exercising hard. I hike up big hills hard and quickly work up a sweat, which no doubt doesn't help either. I've never really liked the idea of a chest monitor as it's so visually obvious (I never wear a shirt), and I would imagine very quickly get sodden in sweat. When I saw this, I was intrigued – this looks to be the best of both worlds, but would it be just another LED waste of money? Very pleasantly surprised to find it seemed to be spot on. I've been wearing it on my inner forearm – up nearer the elbow end. Very comfortable and stays put. The flashing green light is pretty bright in the dark, but I kind of like the reassurance that it is recording when you're going hard. Can't compare it to a chest monitor (I don't have one), but my experience seems to back up the great reviews I've read. I've always pushed my body to the limit when going and the consistant red zone readings right at my max HR and a little bit over back up my gut feeling all this time. HR varies up and down consistantly with an increase/decrease in exercise and is not affected by my cadence at all (like the wrist based ones seem to do a lot). Love theapp and have now just ordered a Polar watch to go with it (not needed with this, but will be fun to watch my HR as I'm going rather than just looking at the (very awesome) readings after. Very impressed, and highly recommended!marcusbai

Displays exactly the same as my Garmin Fenix 6X Pro and another heart rate sensor in the chest strap. Works with Zwift directly connected to a computer or connected to a Garmin Edge cycling computer. More comfortable to use than chest straps. Can also measure heart rate at the temple if you wear goggles. However, have not tested.Erik

I’ve never had issues with Garmin straps. I not only have had several models, including the pre-2020 version of this same strap (more on that in a bit), but countless straps from Kickr, Polar, CooSpo, etc. I wish they would last more than a year or two, but some combination of sweat and dust always kills them (or bad design… the Wahoo straps always break at the snaps). As a strap, it is fantastic. I came back to Garmin because it was the most comfortable. Never had an issue pairing them with different GPS watches and cycling computers. Very comfortable, etc. It is also the worst, most environmentally unfriendly design and Garmin should be ashamed. I am not talking about the waste of Lithium Ion batteries. No. Before 2020 (it’s on their site), the strap featured the tiniest Phillips screws. Very easy to lose. Instead of fixing this issue, after 2020 they went to the smallest Torx size. Torx is good for some things. However the tiny Torx (it is the smallest size you can find a wrench for) just wants to strip. The first time I went to replace the battery, half of the screws stripped immediately. The next time I had to replace the battery, I had to jam the wrench into the head and apply lots of force to grip what was left of the Torx splines. Then one of the screws fell onto the floor of the workshop, never to be found again. So now, I am using electrical tape to keep the cover on. I wish I had kept one of my older straps, with the Phillips screws. Sure they were small, but they didn’t strip immediately. Basically, the screw choice is so bad that it’s almost like the strap is designed to be tossed when the battery dies. Shame on Garmin. Shame on the engineers and product team that thought that decision made sense. I wish I kept my old Garmin straps so I could mail them all to them. Maybe toss in all my other broken straps. Congratulations, you have created more useless garbage that will clutter landfills. Mmattydubs

I hate this thing. I purchased it because my older Garmin HRM chest strap was producing erratic heart rates even with a fresh battery, so I figured it was dying. I was hopeful that its "dual" nature meant I could connect it to both my smartphone and my 910. That didn't work: connecting it to my phone broke the connection with the 910, and my 910 then couldn't "find" the HRM. I have to chose between one device or the other, and I almost never connect it to my phone because my phone's battery drains at least 50% faster when this HRM strap is connected. My primary reason for hating it is that it chafes in several spots. With two exceptions, I'm not prone to chafing. One of those exceptions has long been HRM chest straps where the transmitter is & where any metal fittings are. This chest strap has the metal slider, the transmitter, the attachment, and it also chafes me where the smaller connections bits are (the little squares at the end of the front part of the HRM). In the past, I would turn the strap upside down (with the transmitter still right-side up) so that I could move the parts that chafed to a different location. I tried that with this one, and the transmitter didn't work. Now I'm stuck with chafing unless I tuck my shirt up underneath the spots that chafe. I haven't had reliability issues or weird battery issues like others have. That's why it gets two stars instead of one. I'm switching to a wrist-based HRM, but I'll likely still use the 910 for hiking and my 510 for cycling. I have years of chafing in my future until Garmin comes out with their next HRM chest strap — assuming it changes this design. Or maybe I'll get lucky & my hide will toughen up.HillSlug98239

I was delighted to receive my Buddy System and excited to use it with my new puppy for training. I was dismayed to find that a piece that was advertised was not included. I emailed the company and heard back the same day (Sunday) with an explanation and a remedy to rectify the problem immediately. While I declined to have a new system sent to me, the immediate attention scored huge points in my book. Truly great customer service 🙂Tracy K.

I am a dog trainer using the click and treat method. I have purchased the Buddy Systems to loan to my clients for their time in class. It eliminates on item to hold onto while doing the click and treat method of positive training. Also having nervous human hands off the leash is settling for the dogs. Love the system. I walk both my dogs with it, who are 90 and 50 points. I found my should was starting to hurt, not from their pulling, but from holding my arm at the same position while holding the other leash. Now that I am hands free with them, my shoulder aches less. Highly recommend the Buddy System.Janis C.

Taking a cue from the late Dr. Sophia Yin, I now use the Buddy System Hands-Free Leash for training puppies, rescue dogs, and therapy dogs. It's not suitable for ALL situations, but for those it's indispensible.Bruce D.

I bought this because my dog was diagnosed with irreversible Chronic Bronchitis. First he was put on hydrocodone for his cough. The vet didn't feel that putting him on prednisone would be safe because of his age, 14, and other problems he has. I went online and discovered that an inhaler would not have the same side effects as prednisone. Then I came across the Aerodawg delivery system and the problem of how to deliver the Flovent to him was solved. He does not mind it at all. I got him used to the Aerodawg over a period of a week and then inserted the inhaler and gave him a dose. He was a little startled at first by the puff but he has since gotten over that. He has been getting one puff a day now for several months. I am so pleased and relieved and his coughing has been greatly reduced. This is a great invention and I highly recommend it.Noni04

My dog, Sweet Pea, has been on prednisone for quite some time and I didn't want her on it anymore. So my vet suggested an inhaler. To administer the inhaler I needed AeroDawg. It's very easy to use. You put the inhaler in one end of the tube and the mask in the other end of the tube. To use it you put the mask over the dog's muzzle and then you express the inhaler into the tube, after you have shaken it up. You then watch the valve that shows when the dog is breathing and count the number of breathes, about 5 is what you want. And you're done. Sweet Pea doesn't mind it at all. Of course I praise her a lot and give her lots of kisses which she likes quite a bit. So I make it fun for her.thatabramswoman

My dog Dewy has been suffering from a horrible night-time cough due to chronic bronchitis for months. Neither of us had been getting sleep during this time. I had been giving him prednisone twice a day – hydocan pills every 3-4 hours – cough syrup every 4 hours – prozac at night to help him stay calm and sleep…NOTHING WAS WORKING. My vet suggested the Flovent which I purchased the AeroDawg for. My concern was that my dog would fight taking it – squirm away – and just make it impossible to get the medicine into his lungs. My dog is not the most co-operative with things like that – so I really did not feel like it would work – but of course I had to try it. After I got it I spent about 10-15 minutes introducing it to him with treats of course! That's all it took for him to be comfortable. I gave him his first "puff" and he amazingly sat still with me and took all of his breaths! I was SHOCKED and of course so thrilled. He has been taking his twice daily puffs for about 1 week now and I am thrilled to report he has been sleeping through the night!! I have not been giving him any of his other meds! SO – anyone out there with a dog with similar issues – PLEASE try the Flovent, or whatever inhalant your Vet suggests, and get the AeroDawg. I seriously felt this was my last ditch effort to find something that would get his cough under control. Of course it is the RX that has helped him, but without the AeroDawg I wouldn't be able to get the RX into his body! It is also very easy to use and clean. I have arthritis in my hands and was concerned that I wouldn't be able to hold my dog, hold the AeroDawg, press the inhaler..all at once with hands that don't work so well. I have had no problem at all!Shells
