Dogs, like people, will age and die. So how many years can a dog live at most? Many people don’t know how dogs calculate their age. Let’s talk about it in detail below.
For small and medium-sized dogs, 1 natural year is equivalent to 5 years of dog age; for large dogs, 1 natural year is equivalent to 6-7 years of dog age. However, a dog's first year is equivalent to 14 years of human life.
In other words, if a dog lives to 10 years, it is equivalent to a person living to 77 years old. Generally speaking, the lifespan of a dog is closely related to its body size. The smaller the dog, the longer its lifespan; the larger the dog, the shorter its lifespan.
So how many years can a dog live at most? What does dog lifespan depend on? Let’s find out more together.
The average life span of a dog is about 10-14 years. It is known that the world’s oldest dog lived for 29 years. Physiologically speaking, the metabolism of large dogs is faster than that of small dogs, and their normal consumption is more than that of small dogs. They store less energy and save less than small dogs. However, large dogs are less capable of resisting diseases than small dogs. Because the external environment of large dogs is often worse than that of small dogs, they are more susceptible to illness and death.
In addition, the age of the dog can also be judged based on other circumstances. For example, the growth of the dog's teeth, tooth peaks and tooth wear, hair color, etc.
So, dogs don’t stay with us very long. If you keep dogs, you should take good care of them and spend as much time with them as possible.
