How long does a healthy dog live?

The average lifespan of a healthy dog depends on several factors, including the breed, size, and overall health of the dog. Some small breeds, such as Chihuahuas and Miniature Poodles, may live for an average of 15-20 years, while larger breeds, such as Great Danes and Mastiffs, typically have a lifespan of 8-10 years. In general, smaller dogs tend to live longer than larger dogs due to differences in genetics and metabolism. It is important to provide your dog with regular veterinary care, exercise, and proper nutrition to optimize their health and promote a long, healthy life.
