Dog aging
Dog aging is variable based on the size of the dog. While some smaller breeds can live longer than medium and large breeds. Typically, the largest breeds, such as mastiffs and Great Danes, have shorter lifespans. Like humans, when dogs age they experience health and physical complications, such as impaired sight and hearing, difficulty moving, graying hair, and decreased energy.
