Pet life expectancy. We hope our pets will be a part of our lives for many, many years but the fact is that the average life expectancy is 10-12 years for dogs and 10-14 years for cats. Older pets have very specific needs and are particularly susceptible in later years to cancer, arthritis, and dental disease.
Generally speaking, the bigger the dog, the shorter the life. I have read that the dog with the shortest average life expectancy is the Irish Wolfhound...they live five or six years. Great Danes live six or seven years. As for small dogs, I know of Pomeranians who are 18 and 19 years old. Source(s): I work at a vet hospital.
