What are the different pet life spans?
- Dogs
The life span of dogs is generally between 11 and 15 years. Of course, there are different breeds, and some dogs have longer life spans. Some small hybrid dogs have the longest life span, which can even reach 17 or 18 years, and the longest record is more than 20 years. However, most dogs enter old age at the age of 7 and begin to show some signs of aging, so they need special care.
- Cats
The life span of cats is shorter than that of dogs, about 10 to 12 years. Moreover, the age difference between cat breeds is not large, while cats and dogs are just the opposite in terms of longevity. Giant cats have a relatively longer lifespan. The largest Maine Coon cat has a lifespan of 15-18 years. Cats also start to enter old age at the age of 7-8, so they need special care at this time.
- Chinchilla
Chinchillas are also called South American chinchillas and velvet mice. Although they are called mice, they are not rodents. Chinchillas are definitely long-lived among animals named after mice, and can live up to 8-12 years. The longest I have raised is 13 years old. Generally speaking, if they are raised scientifically, they are no problem over 10 years old.
- Rabbits
Rabbits generally live about 5-12 years, and the lifespans of different breeds of rabbits vary greatly.
- Guinea pigs
Guinea pigs generally live 5-7 years, because there are not many breeds of guinea pigs, so this is the range.
- Hamsters
Hamsters are typical short-lived pets, with an average lifespan of only 2.5 years and a lifespan of more than three years.
The average lifespan of dogs is usually 10 to 15 years
Small dogs
The average lifespan is usually 12 to 18 years.
