Unlock the Secrets to Longer Rottweiler Life Expectancy

So the breed's life expectancy is the average is 7 to 8 years However we have a lot of Rottweilers that have lived a lot longer than this And in fact I'm involved in a study group And in this group we have Rottweilers that are up to 15 years old And I just lost one recently that was 15 years old I have one now that's almost 10 And it's really important food vitamins give it a good healthy life and keep it youthful you know play with it and keep it youthful as it's getting older And we found that this is the most important It's just like people give them the proper food the proper exercise and you know they'll live a long time If you feed them junk food and you you know do everything wrong they're not going to probably live very long

Investing in good lines is important as well! Hereditary disorders from bad breeding will overshadow other aspects of exceptional husbandry!

My Rottweiler passed at 13yrs. The for mine I him gave regular exercise (Daily walks / runs) keep them mobile and keep their weight at a healthy amount because too much weight takes an awful toll on the hips also don't get your dogs tail docked mine had in done and in his later years 11/12 he develop a wabble when walking. Cod liver oils in their food great for bones skin/coat.

Don't switch their food find one they like and stick to it.

When my dog was 11 I thought he wouldn't make it to see Christmas but then through circumstances ended up getting a kitten which I truly belive gave him a new lease of life because he really looked after the kitten for about 2 yrs when he finally passed. At the grand old age of 13 years.

Don't forget to pet them every day.

obesity kills dogs earlier, same as human. you gotta be jooking, noo X)

its sad to see so many obese dogs in the dog groups. especially in the US

i got attacked severely online bc my fit dog looks "starved"

while others brag about their biig biig "all muscle" dog, that looks more like a potbelly pig than a rottie or pittie...
