What is the lifespand of a dog?

The average lifespan of a dog can vary greatly depending on the breed, size, and overall health of the individual dog. Here is a general range for the lifespans of different dog breeds:

- Small breeds (e.g., Chihuahuas, Toy Poodles): 12-15 years

- Medium breeds (e.g., Beagles, Cocker Spaniels): 10-13 years

- Large breeds (e.g., German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers): 8-12 years

- Giant breeds (e.g., Great Danes, Mastiffs): 7-10 years

However, it's important to note that these are just averages, and individual dogs can live longer or shorter than the typical range for their breed. Good nutrition, regular exercise, and proper veterinary care can all contribute to a longer, healthier life for your furry friend.
