How long does it take for a dog to die?

Answer 1

Small dogs can live to be 12yrs old to 18yrs old,sometimes longer.Large dogs live to be 10yrs old to 12 yrs old.It depends on how good you feed him/her and keep up with shots and annual vet visits.

Answer 2

It depends on the breed go to animal planet. com and look at the specific breed, if it is a mix look at all breeds and find average. Remember all dogs are different yours might live longer or shorter than standard.

Answer 3

if you have a pedigree and it is a small dog they can live up to 14 years maybe a bit shorter but if you have a mut then they live for up to 18 years of age don't ask me why because i donot know but big dogs can live up to 16 years.

Answer 4

Its almost imposable to give an actual answer as there are many factors affecting decomposition. For instance temperature, the way the animal died, what condition was the animal in (i.e. was it sick or did it have worms), other factors include; What kind of environment is it in (i.e. is it in a sterile environment or is it in a dumpster)? your question is really quite difficult to answer generally - in fact its practically imposable.

Answer 5

This will depend upon what artery or vein was severed, and how many of them. If you sever both carotid arteries and both jugular veins, the dog would probably bleed to death within a minute. However, if you just nick some superficial capillaries, the dog would not bleed to death at all - the capillaries would seal with a blood clot and the dog would be fine.

I will point out that deliberately trying to bleed a conscious dog to death would constitute animal cruelty, which in the United States and many other countries would be a serious crime. If a dog needs to be put down for humane reasons, there are acceptable methods of euthanasia ranging from injectable solutions to firing a bullet through the skull at a specific point.

Answer 6

It depends on why they are dying. If they get hit by a car and are massively bleeding, could be minutes to an hour. If they were poisoned, maybe a few hours to days. If they have cancer or renal failure, could be months.

If you are wondering about the normal life span of dogs, it depends on the breed and how well taken care of they are. Larger breeds like Great Danes or Irish wolfhounds get maybe 8 to 10 years, while a chihuahua or yorkie may get 16 to 20 years.

Answer 7

Dogs live for widely varied amounts of time, but the key to finding a dog with a longer lifespan is to look for small dogs. The average fifty-pound dog will live for about ten to twelve years, but dogs larger than that live, on average, about six to eight years.

Interestingly, as in humans, female dogs tend to live longer than male dogs, though the disparity between lifespans is not as pronounced as the disparity in human lifespan.

Answer 8

a dogs lifetime

Answer 9

It depends on the species of dog.

Answer 10

14 years in normal years, in dog years every year for us is 7 to them so if we multiply 7 x 14 we get 98 which is there age in 14 years.
