I love collaborating with an animal newspaper, a sign of sensitivity, without a doubt. And today I read a published report on how long dogs live according to breed. The average lifespan is 11.41 years for females and 11.07 years for males. However, the country in which they are born and the houses that welcome them also influence, of course. Because dogs, like humans, not only feed on feed or cans; Love, always combined with care, lengthens the life of these fabulous little ones, just as the life of people who enjoy animal love is lengthened.
As I write this “Japi” is dozing next to me. She is out of the ordinary, she is about to turn fourteen, and here she is aging as we age. He barely hears anymore, so he really enjoys sniffing and eating. She has become a bit gluttonous and you have to be careful. In addition, he suffers from a certain cognitive impairment that, like humans, makes him stare into space or forget where he was going. He no longer runs for miles chasing his mini tennis ball, now he goes a couple of times when his legs don’t hurt due to his osteoarthritis, but he enjoys those two little runs enormously, like elderly humans their youthful exercises. Now he gets up several times a night to go to his dog toilet. He still likes to go out and sunbathe, less time and more slowly. She is a little old lady as human as human animals. And like elderly humans, he retains the character that his genes and education gave him. My dog was born an angel and so it continues. There is a lot of criticism of those who treat their dogs like children. Because they don’t yet know that the children are growing apart and the little animal is never going to die. Leaving early is something terrible, especially for people who, in unwanted loneliness, wake up every morning thanks to the encouragement of their partner. We are animals of mutual love.
What are the average lifespans of different dog breeds, and how do environmental factors influence them?
Interview with Guest 1:
Editor: Good day! Thank you for agreeing to this interview. Can you tell us more about the report you mentioned in your article regarding the lifespan of dogs by breed? What did you find interesting or surprising about the findings?
Guest 1: Hello! Yes, of course. The report was quite comprehensive, and it found that certain breeds of dogs tend to live longer than others. For example, Toy Poodles and Golden Retrievers have an average lifespan of about 14 years, while larger breeds like Great Danes and Mastiffs have a shorter lifespan of around 8-9 years. What surprised me the most was the significant impact that environmental factors such as country of birth and living conditions have on a dog’s lifespan. Dogs in countries like Japan and Switzerland tend to live longer than those in the United States or other parts of the world, likely due to better veterinary care and overall quality of life.
Editor: Absolutely. It’s fascinating to see how environmental factors can play such a significant role in a dog’s lifespan. Moving on, you mentioned how important love and care are for the well-being of dogs. Can you expand on that? Do you think these same factors are as important for other pets as well?
Guest 1: Absolutely, love and care are crucial for the well-being of all pets. Not only do they provide emotional support, but they also help to improve their physical health. For example, studies have shown that pets who receive regular exercise and a balanced diet tend to live longer than those who don’t. Additionally, pets that are showered with love and attention tend to have stronger immune systems and lower stress levels. As for other pets, it’s likely that the same principles apply. Cats, for instance, also benefit from a loving home and regular vet care.
Editor: That’s a great point. And you touched upon the topic of aging in pets, especially dogs. What are some common signs of aging in dogs, and what can owners do to help their aging pets stay comfortable and healthy?
Guest 1: As dogs age, they may experience a decline in their senses, such as hearing and vision
