how old can a dog get?

Answer 1

The oldest I've ever heard of is about 18 years old, I think anything over 15 is pretty old.

Answer 2

Some of the miniture dogs can live about 20-22 years in human age, and that is 140-154 years old in doggie age. Bigger dogs ten to last only 8-9 years on the average, but some live to be 10-13.

Answer 3

Small dogs generally live longer than large dogs. A small dog could live to be 18 years old or so. But a large dog like a Great Dane is considered "old" when it is more than 5 yrs old because giant dogs seldom live more than 7 or 8 years.

Answer 4

Smaller dogs, on average live longer than larger dogs. Smaller dogs can live up to 18 years if not more, where as larger dogs may reach 10 years of age.

Answer 5

It depends on the dog. Larger dogs tend to live shorter lives (10-13 years). Small dogs live 15, sometimes 20 years or more (though not generally much more).

Answer 6

Very. Average life span depends largely on breed and size, although diet, vet care, and general health play a factor as well. Smaller dogs usually live longer, some into their 20's. The giant breeds usually don't make it much past 10, but there are exceptions.

Answer 7

Depends on the breed. Most larger breeds average 8 to 10 years. Med. breeds average 13-15 years. Many smaller breeds can live upwards of 15 to 20 years.

Answer 8

my dog is 10 years old(human years)(that is 70 dog years) and my grandmothers dog was 16(112 dog years) when it had to get put to sleep(it had a ton of problems with it like blindness, arthritis in hind legs, some kind of jaw thing that the vet had to cut out all of her teeth, and the list goes on and on and on and on!

Answer 9

Depends on the breed, larger dogs dont live as long as smaller breeds, for larger dogs like german shepards etc the usual lifespan is around 12 years, but for smaller dogs it is around 16years obviously there are exceptions.

Answer 10
