This paper contains a description of device for ambulatory diagnosis of pet’s cardiovascular system functional state capable of measuring pulse wave parameters and storing obtained data. One of the main advantages of developed device practical application is elimination of animal anxiety caused by visit to veterinary clinic. The animal during the measurement does not experience any anxiety and stress. The dog’s cardiovascular system measurement result was obtained without the stress influence on the animals. This allows to significantly reducing measured pulse wave data misinterpretation. Easy handling of the device and capability of transferring data to external flash drives allows pet owner to make measurements domiciliary and pass the results to veterinarian during the next animal clinic visit.
