THE HOPE OF LIFE IN DOGS – How long will my dog last?
We all want our dogs to live as long as possible, but the fact in question is that, on average, certain breeds of dogs live longer than others. This could be a consideration when choosing a dog breed and therefore, useful information to know in advance.
The average life of a dog is of 12,8 years. This is a large increase in life expectancy in recent 100 years is attributable to better food and better health.
Within this average of 12,8 years for all the dogs there is a general information, larger dogs live less than smaller dogs. This is due to the fact that the bodies of larger dogs have to work harder (they are more stressed) as the bodies of most small dogs. Having said that, the life expectancy of any dog is also determined by the tensions in their lives (both physical and psychological), what you eat and the well which is it cares.
