8, 9, 12,14, 15 years? While we are struggling to to keep our dogs free of cancer, diabetes, heart disease can you imagine that a dog can live to the age of 29. An Australian Sheepdog, Bluey, holds the Guiness World Record as the oldest dog. Bluey died at 29.
A British couple claim that their dog, Bella, died while on holiday with them. She was said to be 29. They owned her for 26 years.
Perhaps we should rethink old age in dogs. I would like to know what they fed Bella. I have an “old” beagle.. Lucky.. He is 12. Four months ago, he was dragging around. His hips were so arthritic that he couldn’t stand up high enough to lift his rear end off the ground. He has some sore on his reare end from dragging around.
I changed his diet to a dog food without any grain and animal byproducts and he is now walking… running.. around.. all his sores have healed and he is trying to gain control over the young guys.
Be careful what you eat!
