Frequently asked questions
How long can dogs live?
How long can dogs live?
Dog lifespan varies based on breed, size, genetics, and care. Small breeds typically live longer, with many reaching 15+ years with proper care. Medium-sized dogs often live up to 13+ years, while large and giant breeds generally have shorter lifespans of 9-12 years.[1] With optimal care, nutrition, and dog longevity treatments, many dogs can exceed their breed’s average lifespan.

What is the longevity pill for dogs?
What is the longevity pill for dogs?
Rapamycin is currently the most promising longevity medication for dogs. Originally developed as an immunosuppressant for organ transplants, research now shows that in small doses, Rapamycin appears to improve heart function in dogs and may delay age-related decline.
The Dog Aging Project is conducting extensive clinical trials on this medication’s potential to extend healthy lifespan in dogs. While research is ongoing, early results suggest it may improve heart muscle function, cognitive abilities, and mobility in aging dogs.[1] As with any medication, Rapamycin should only be used under veterinary supervision as part of a comprehensive dog longevity treatment plan.
