How to feel the pulse-rate?

In dogs and cats, the wrist is felt on the femoral artery. The middle finger, the index finger and the ring finger of the right hand should be placed on the inner side of the thigh, about the height of the groin and should be slid without exerting a strong pressure until a “cord” representing the artery is perceived.
At this point stop exerting a very slight pressure until you can feel the pulsations of the artery identifiable as rhythmic vibrations.
