Your free breathing rate log
A one-page sheet to record your pet's resting breathing rate, in the same Normal, Watch and Call vet bands as the Halo app. Print as many copies as you need.
How to use it
- Wait until your pet is fully relaxed or asleep, not just lying still while alert.
- Watch the flank, the soft area just behind the ribs. One rise and fall counts as one breath.
- Count for 15 seconds with a timer, then multiply by 4.
- Write it down and circle the status. Do it at roughly the same time each day.
For most cats, 30 or under is normal, 30 to 40 is worth watching, and over 40 means calling your vet promptly. Dogs have a wider normal range, so ask your vet what is normal for yours.
This sheet is for information only and isn't veterinary advice. Every pet is different, always ask your vet what's normal for your own pet.
