Depending on the breed, dogs may have different life expectancies, but this is not the main criterion.
Much depends on how responsibly the owner approaches the responsibility placed upon him to care for his pet.
How to increase your dog's life expectancy
Proper nutrition
In this matter, humans and animals have much in common: the better our nutrition, the longer we can live.
Therefore, choose good food and do not forget about vitamin supplements that are not found in food.
In particular, industrial feeds sometimes lack certain vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, experts note.
Attentive attitude
For some reason, some people believe that dogs are practically invulnerable and immortal, so they may not pay attention to alarming symptoms until the very last moment.
But the animal may show signs of poisoning or illness. Therefore, try to pay more attention to the dog's condition.
Timely veterinary examinations
Not everyone visits a doctor for a routine check-up on a regular basis, considering it a waste of money. However, many diseases do not manifest themselves at first - only tests can "tell" about their presence.
