Did you know that you can actually help us to treat your pet’s heart disease by counting their breathing rate at home? Watch out for other clues as well such as coughing, weakness, labored breathing, weight loss, decreased appetite, restlessness, and agitation during sleep amongst others. Generally, normal dogs and cats have a breathing rate of 15-30 breaths every minute when at rest. Resting breathing rates consistently greater than 30 per minute are considered abnormal and should be reported to us. If you notice any of these symptoms in your pet, contact us at (360) 377-0078 so we can investigate further.
