Old Age
By the time a dog reaches the age of eight, he’s officially a geriatric. However, smaller breeds can live well into their teens, and larger breeds can, too.

When I fed my dogs commercial pet food and vaccinated them every year, they suffered from a range of horrible diseases, and some of them died at the ages of 4, 5 and 6. Then I switched my remaining dogs over to real food and stopped vaccinating them, and they lived well beyond their breed average.
Vet bills for my vaccine-freed dogs on the natural diet have been virtually non-existent, simply because my dogs don’t suffer from the common chronic diseases experienced by conventionally reared dogs.
Imagine the joy of meeting a Great Dane, who is expected to die by the time he reaches the age of seven, living well into his teens. Or a Bernese Mountain Dog outliving other dogs in his breed by a mile.
Start asking questions of the people who have elderly, healthy, dogs. Ask them what they feed, and ask them whether they vaccinate. Do your own survey.
Also ask the owners of sick young dogs whether they feed pet food and vaccinate every year.
You’ll soon have the answers to long life and good health.
