How long do small dogs usually live?

Expert Answer

Small dogs average a lifespan of 12 to 15 years, varying by breed; with good care some live about 20 years. Whatever the breed, the owner must use proper methods, vaccinate and deworm regularly, and do daily care, and ideally take the dog for an annual checkup to find and solve hidden problems early..
