The lifespan of a dog
During the pandemic, it was observed that many people started to include a new four-legged friend in the family. But when choosing a new pet, there's a lot to think about, considering there are 221 different breeds.
However, there is a substantial gap between races that live longer and shorter. A search through a VetCompass database of the Royal Veterinary College with information on more than 2 million animals, calculated the average life expectancy of some breeds in the UK.
To carry out this survey, the researchers collected varied samples from 30,563 dogs that died between January 1, 2016 and July 31, 2020, and thus drew their conclusions.
