Checking your dog's pulse

Pai and I attended a Buffalo Dachshund Club meetup where some people were giving a demonstration on how to give a dog CPR. It's good general information to know as it can mean the difference between life and death for your dog during that period between an accident and getting them to a vet.

A good place to check for your dog's pulse is on their inner thigh on one of their back legs, you should feel a small indentation and from there should be able to detect your dog's pulse.

She is talking about checking your dog's pulse. The easiest spot to do so is on the inner thigh, you'll feel a small indentation and you should research the normal rate of your type of dog's heart beat so you know what is normal for them and what isn't since all dog breeds are different.

@VRMorrigon I included clarification on what the woman is saying in the description. If I had known they were doing this, I would have sat closer to them to record what was being said. Stop whining.

You might want to turn up the volume. I can clearly understand what she is saying.

SUCH A HELPFUL VIDEO. NEXT TIME, WHY DON'T YOU SHOOT THE VIDEO, FROM ACROSS THE STREET, WHERE WE CAN'T SEE ANYTHING AT ALL. ALSO,THE AUDIO IS SO BAD, WITH ALL THE NOISE, MAKE SURE THE MICROPHONE, IS ACROSS THE STREET, TOO. THE CAMERA ISN'T QUITE FAR AWAY ENOUGH. IT NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE FARTHER AWAY. WHY BOTHER?
