The '''popliteal a.''' supplies the stifle, gastrocnemius, popliteal muscle and terminates by branching into the cranial and caudal tibial arteries. The '''cranial tibial a.''' supplies the peroneus longus, long digital extensor and cranial tibial muscles whilst the '''caudal tibial a.''' is a small branch that lies in the interosseous space between the tibia and fibula. The '''dorsal pedal a.''' is a continuation of the '''cranial tibial a.''' and runs over the flexor surface of the tarsus and supplies the tarsus. The  '''arcuate a.''' then supplies the main blood supply to the foot.

The '''dorsal metatarsal aa.''' supply the paw dorsally whilst the '''perforating branch''' of the '''metatarsal aa.''' forms an anastomoses with the caudal branch of the '''saphenous a.''' and contributes to the plantar metatarsal arteries that supply the digits.  

***** '''Dorsal metatarsal aa.''' - supplies the paw dorsally.

****** '''Perforating branch''' - this anastomoses with the caudal branch of the saphenous artery and contribute to the plantar metatarsal arteries that supply the digits.
