The average life span of a dog is about 13.5 years, although it determines alot on the breed. Typically, smaller breeds live longer lives than larger breeds. A small dog hits "old age" at around 11.5 years, but a larger dog hits old age somewhere in the area of 7.5 years. The oldest recorded dog lived to be 29, however! Personally, my longest lived dog was a Keeshond at 16 years old.
Small dogs do tend to have a longer lifespan than larger dogs. Small dogs tend to live until they are between 12-15 years; large dogs tend to live to between 8-11 years old depending on the breed of the dog.
These numbers are average; big dogs can live long lives far into their teens with good healthcare and good breeding. Big dogs tend to live relatively short lives due to the development of osteoarthritis and other weight related problems
It's not a set number. It could be less than a year, it could be several years. The oldest verified dog lived to be 29 years, 282 days old. The oldest verified currently living (at the time of this question being answered) dog was shown as being rescued (meaning it was born prior to the date of rescue) on 16 January 1985. These figures are highly uncommon, and 10 - 15 years is a bit more realistic.
from my dog 9 10 or 11 is how old they could grow my dog was 12 thought
Depends entirely on the breed of dog, the life style it leads and the manner in which it dies.
Most dogs live 10-15 years.
It varies from breed to breed.
Old age.
No. The same breeds of dogs have the same life span but they do not all die at the same age. For Example: The average life span of a German Shepherd is 7-10 years. I have had 3 German Shepherds. One died at 11, one died at 9, and one died at 7.
Yes they age differently
An average of 32 dogs die every day because of abuse.
Well nearly all dogs die at age 15 and some even more but all dogs live at least 10 years. HOPE THIS HELP :)
They die at an old age like 70 and up.
35
The average life expectancy in the United States is around 78 to 79 years. This can vary based on factors such as gender, race, and lifestyle choices.
Yes Smaller dogs live longer than big dogs
