What is the average life span of a Pomeranian?

Our dog is 4 years old, and I was just wondering what the average life span was.

Answer 1

I searched the internet and depending on the author the average is about 12-17 years.

AVERAGE LIFE SPAN- The average Pomeranian lifespan is about 12 years, but it is not unusual for some Pomeranians to live a happy life well into their middle teens.I have found that keeping your Pomeranian trim and active will help prevent many health problems and enable your Pomeranian to lead a happy life into the mid teens.Desexing reduces the risk of many cancers, so it is a good idea to have this done close to puberty.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU7Zq

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

My little boy Nick just passed away just after his 12th birthday. He suffered from all of the noted Pom problems like collapsing trachea for the few years, Alopecia X with almost total fur loss then recovery to loss and finally at age 11 all of his beautiful fur returned.
However at age 10 his heart murmur became noticeable and at 11 he was diagnosed with high kidney values. In the past 6 months he was treated for chronic kidney failure. Finally the medications, the constant sub-dermal fluid infusions were not enough and eleven days past his 12th birthday, he passed away in our arms.
Life expectancy is an issue of health and to some degree genetics as he had all of those problems and lived to 12. Had he NOT had all of these problems that I assume would be greatly influenced by genetics, he would still be on my lap giving me kisses

Answer 6

If he is well taken care of, you should have another good 15-18 years to enjoy him still to come. Dont smoke around him. Poms have really tiny nasal passages, and smoke can have a devestating effect on them, as well as us humans. Keep it happy and play with him. Poms usually fall for one person in the house only and will stay very very close to that person always. A happy dog is a healthy dog, a healthy dog is a dog that will live a very very long time indeed.

around 12-14 years,if they are in good heallth. they live longer because they are a smaller breed, but they can still have health problems, like hip dyslpasia, bladder stones, ect. most are easy to treat and they are usualy very healthy, happy little dogs! good luck! :)
