Best Answer

The Rat Terrier life expectancy is about 25 years. Well, the long life span of Rat Terrier will never make you feel lonely and keep your house lively. The average Rat Terrier life span is about 15 - 18 years. With good dog care you can extend the life span of Rat Terrier to over 25 years. Many experts even say the Rat Terrier life expectancy is just 13 to 16 years. But it is all about the genetic make up of an individual dog and the amount of pet care he receives in case of any dog health problems makes a huge difference in increasing the average Rat Terrier life span.
