The '''abdominal aorta''' terminates by branching into the '''external iliac arteries''' and the '''internal iliac arteries'''. It is these arteries that supply the hindlimb and pelvis.

The '''median sacral a.''' arises from either the left or right internal iliac and supplies the sacrum and tail. The '''internal pudendal a.''' is the primary branch of the internal iliac and provides blood to the reproductive organs and urinary tract. The '''caudal gluteal a.''' supplies the superficial gluteal muscle and the proximal 'hamstring muscles'. The '''iliolumbar a.''' is the first branch of the caudal gluteal and supplies the psoas minor, iliopsoas, sartorius, tensor fascia lata and the middle gluteal muscles. The '''cranial gluteal a.''' arises from the caudal gluteal and passes over the greater ischiatic notch and supplies the gluteal muscles. The tail is supplied by the '''lateral caudal a.''' whilst the '''dorsal perineal a.''' supplies the perineum.
