Which Dogs live the longest?
"Ask any pet parent about their pup's longevity, and they'll likely tell you they wish dogs could live forever. And while an anti-aging drug for canines is in the works, dog owners still have to grapple with the eventual pain and heartbreak of losing their beloved four-legged friends."
?
Just a note: Petandim isn't an anti-aging drug but a supplement proven to improve your furry family members' lives.
?
According to the study, the average age of your furry family will be between 10 years and 13.7 years, with the median life span being 12.5 years. Females tend to outlive males by about three months, and factors like breed, genetics, lifestyle, and size can play a significant role in their overall life expectancy.
?
A recent study in the United Kingdom of over 500,000 dogs was published in Scientific Reports and learned how long dogs usually live.
The answer may surprise you because your furry family's size, shape, and facial features factor into the equation.
The result:
Smaller dogs with long noses tend to live longer than flat-nosed dogs, whether large or small.
Kristen McMillian, a data scientist at Dogs Trust, a London-based animal welfare group, said,
"We are identifying groups that desperately need attention so we can zone in on these populations and work out the problem."
?
Here is a partial breakdown of what you can expect.
?
Facial features tend to determine your furry family member's life expectancy. Miniature dachshunds (small and long-nosed) have a median life expectancy of 14 years.
A French bulldog (medium-sized and flat-nosed) has a median life expectancy of 9.8 years.
?
Although the study was done on dogs in the U.K., according to PetMD, dogs in America have the same life expectancy.

The study also found that mixed-breed dogs do not outlive purebred dogs. Purebred dogs tend to outlive mixed-bred dogs by about seven months, with the expected life span being 12.7 years and 12 years, respectively.

An important consideration
?
We live in a polluted world and are given toxic food and water to eat and drink. Humanity is fast becoming like the spaceship-bound people of the Pixar movie Wall-E.
?
Our furry family members mimic our lifestyle and suffer the same chronic conditions. It may be time to re-evaluate our lives.
?
Living longer, healthier lives are possible for us and our pets, but it takes a willingness to change.
?
The change is costly because greedy people have found a way to exploit healthy living and eating. You can do anything—for a price!
?
Sadly, Petandim (the product I promote) is the same. The difference is that it works in humans and our furry family.
?
I have taken it for years and have seen my blood samples with dead cancer cells floating around. There are many stories—both human and canine. My granddog (GusGus) has begun his Petandim journey, and reports will be provided as they come in.
?
Living longer means living smarter. You can do it, and so can your furry four-legged child.
?
I will do my best to help through these stories and Petandim.
