Scientists have proven that people are more emotionally attached to dogs than to cats. It has also been noted that dogs are given more attention.
Every dog owner wants their pet to live a long and happy life. But longevity is determined by nature. Here are the breeds that live the longest.
The life expectancy of a pet depends on many factors, such as breed, diet, gender, heredity, physical activity and living conditions, veterinarian Lidiya Lisichkina told Doctor Peter in an interview.
In addition, pet owners should keep in mind that longevity is determined by heredity, the pet's lifestyle, timely examination and treatment, as well as proper care.
Long-living dogs
It is believed that miniature dogs live longer than their tall relatives. The reason is the load on the body, which causes problems with joints.
The lack of physical activity in cities also has an impact.
If the moment is of fundamental importance, then you need to choose a long-lived dog from among:
- Yorkshire Terriers;
- poodles;
- West Highland White Terriers;
- mestizos.
