My cat Sylvester is 22.. yes that's him in my profile pic, he's still holding on strong but at the moment he has bladder cancer so I cherish every day with him.
High quality food (not what we eat), shots, general exercise, boundaries, all contribute to the care and wellbeing of any animal. Down to timely brushing of fur and teeth, cleaning ears, and carefully grinding nails. He didn’t look his age but my Shiba lived to be a happy and healthy 15. Just lost him this year, I miss him every single day.
@@KosmicKarenI can't answer for anyone else, but we just lost our little Wooly... He lived to be 19 years old. We got him from friends when he was just able to be away from his momma. Our daughter has seizures and when Wooly was only a couple months old, she had a seizure in the hallway and collapsed full weight on the tiny dog. It absolutely flattened him and while my wife was dealing with the paramedics for our daughter, I rushed Wooly to the Ohio State Veterinary Clinic. He laid there flattened for a week with IVs and hoses all over the place. About a week and a half in, he just popped back into shape and was "normal" again... Although about a week later, his eye glands popped out, causing "Cherry Eye". So we spoiled him... Home cooked food, like ground beef, chicken and pork... Fresh, steamed vegetables...NO GLUTEN, NO RICE, NO SUGAR... except for the little bit of fruit now and then. I only ever gave him Distilled water to drink, unless good REAL spring water was available. He also got one "human" multivitamin each week. He never had a vaccine in his entire life... But I suppose he didn't need any, because he was either inside or right there with us whenever we were out. But yeah... He lived a really good nineteen years. Poor little guy started slowing down about 6 months before he went... He suddenly went blind and deaf nearly at the same time. We had an October 2023 trip to Disney Florida planned, so we loaded up the motorhome and went down as usual. Wooly did GREAT the entire time... Meeting and greeting people, dancing around on his back legs for his burger, almost like normal except for being hard of hearing and a little blind. We were there a whole week, and were to leave the last Saturday morning of the trip and return to Ohio over the weekend. Friday evening was great and Wooly seemed fantastic... But at about 3:30 Saturday morning, he walked into the front "living room" of the motorhome and woke me up by poking my elbow with his nose. He stood there, wagging his little tail really slowly and I swear he was smiling at me the entire ten minutes. He then turned around and stared at his reflection in the glass oven door for a few minutes, still wagging his tail. He looked back at me and then walked into the rear bedroom where his little dog bed was on the floor, got in it and curled up and (I assumed) went to sleep. At around 7:00 am, my wife woke up (she was sleeping on one of the twin beds in the back) and came into the front of the coach crying... Telling me that Wooly was gone. Poor little guy... We loved him like a child. But as far as our vet was concerned, he always said that Wooly was one healthy, happy little dog. Cheers...
@sunshine_pnw This talking point is tired and baseless. Especially in this case, since this dog was found as a grown adult with no way to accurately estimate his age.
I've always fed my dogs home-cooked food. Had a lady chow to be 17 and a chow/Australian shepherd mix gentleman to be 17. Both breeds have typical lifespans of about 12.
My beloved Capri cream toy poodle was born August 11th 1999 and passed Oct 25 2018 outliving both of my parents who made it to 90 and 92. I am happy for this little doggie .
Chihuahuas are absolutely amazing dogs. I’ve always had big dogs; goldens, Shepards, a Rottweiler. But in 2017 I was driving home behind a strip mall & saw what I first thought was a rat but did a double take & saw it was a little chihuahua. Names him Harrison after George. & we’ve been together ever since! & I absolutely love that dog & any kindness I have inside of me is bc of him.
So you weren't kind to your other dogs. Wtf. If you show dogs love, kindness and affection they'll reciprocate those emotions. Sounds like you're a piece of you know what.

Happy Birthday Spike! Who else thought he was a big white dog till you saw him on her lap? (Yes I saw the Chihuahua sign, but thought she must have a second dog). Lol
Why most people still feed dogs kibble is far beyond insane. Last time I read ingredients, it was basically grains sprayed with supplements. Disgusting, but it's all the vets recommend. Shameful.
Exactly. Vets are wrong all the time. I've had 3 rescues from all different areas, and the vets have been wrong about each of their breeds and history. It's pretty bs. Oh, well.
My dog passed at age 16. Her legs gave up from arthritis and couldn't stand up anymore. I didn't wanna give up on her because she was my baby. I have her ashes in a nice box, and made a small memorial with her box in my room. I just hope the dog we still have (they met each other like sisters. We didn't "replace" her) can live longer than 16
My Dog Rockey was 17 years old when he passed away 4 years ago he was a beautiful Border Collie and I'll always miss him but cherish the time I had with him 🥲 Now I only have have my 5 cats and no dogs but one day I might get another Dog 🥹
I've known of a man who had cats that lived til they was 30 and there's an awful lot of dogs that live until 30... It's all about diet and NEVER give your animals pet food. If you feed them the right food you will never get fleas either. I have 19 year old dog who's is fit and healthy, and another who is 16 who still acts like a puppy.
My niece had a rat. She worked for a vet. She fed the rat Royal Canin or Hill Science - I can't remember. Ratty lived three times as long as your average rat.
My little dachshund lived until he was 19 years old. I called him my bullet because nothing could take him down. He was a very strong and sweet boy that I had since I was 9 years old (2004) he was a blessing to have around for 19 years. He died of natural causes In October 2023. He will forever be my baby boy.
That’s how I found my 4th dog. He was in a Walmart parking lot and the people who worked there told me he had been walking around the lot and running into the store. They just kept putting him back outside. They told me to take him.. so I did. Animal Control told me to take him back to the Walmart parking lot and leave him, because they couldn’t take him because he wasn’t aggressive or hurt. So anyway I’ve had him for 3 months 😊 God bless this family and Spike. Much love ❤❤❤❤❤🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Wait a minute, how did they verify the dogs age? They picked him up as a stray and a vet said he was "at least ten years old" then based on his teeth? That is not very scientific or specific.
Good for you. I wish that I had dogs that lived that long. My oldest was almost 16 yoa, but she died to cancer. And, it'll always hurt a little, bez I do miss her daily.
Good, homecooked food is the best thing you can ever do for a dog. That commercial JUNK cuts dogs' lives short. Save money and have a healthier pet. The effort involved is minimal and the reward is HUGE.
Calling all animal lovers! Cody Roberts of Daniel, Wyoming has yet to be punished for his horrific abuse towards a wolf cub known as Thea. We must not allow him, nor any other torturer of animals get away with only a slap on the wrist. If any of you care, please fight that real justice be met! Keep this story alive, ask for better animal protection laws, continue to protest until he is given server jail time for his awful crimes. Don’t let Thea die in vain! Demand that her murderer is brought to justice. That’s what it means to be a Wildlife Warrior! #JusticeForWolves
A consistent dry food diet and NO unnecessary trips to the vet has served all my animals well. In particular the cat that I found as a kitten who lived to be just over 20 years old, and having never had any serious health issues with any of my animals.
My Australian cattle dog made it over 21 but when I couldn’t control his pain anymore we let him go even though he had no other issues other than arthritis pain.
Happy birthday dear boy Spike! 🎂🐶❤ Keep staying healthy and live longer and longer. Heaven and Mother Nature smile for you. And we deeply thank your loving family. 🙂❤❤❤
my late dog lived up to 11 and a half years. I'm rooting for Spike to have more healthy and enjoying years of life with his owners. Beautiful thing you've done to take great care for your family fur baby.

He look so sweet.
Wish all my dogs live longer.
Don’t feed them dog food with corn products and they will

The woman in the video feeds the oldest dog human food not factory made so called "dog food".
On dead dogs home boy 🥺
It's their one fault. They don't live long enough.
My dog was 25 yrs old ,She passed away last Feb 2 days before I lost my husband
I'm so sorry for your loss of both husband and puppy. How sad.
Was she a chihuahua too?
You should get a new puppy Feb 2nd 2025. Name him after your husband. Sorry for your loss.
Condolences🙏🏽
Sorry for your loss🙏🙏, remember we are always a keyboard away!!🙏
My Jack Russell lived to 21!! She was the best thing ever!! And I watched her birth, so I knew exactly how old she was❤😮
Wow that’s amazing!! 😮
I love Jack Russell dogs ❤
What did you feed her, and did you get her yearly vax’s?
This is great news because i have a jack Russell so hoping she will live that long she's only a year now

You can't prove any of this
@@AHTOtv don’t be an edgelord
Interesting, Bobi (the dog in Portugal, who passed in 2023 at the age of 30) also was never fed dog food but cooked food as well.
That dog’s age couldn’t be confirmed, unfortunately.

This lady wasn't looking for a dog, but this dog was looking for an owner. How cute! What a beautiful story!

Sorry for your loss ill be praying for you!
My youngest, a son, was born on August 17th, 1999. I’m sorry you lost your poodle…they’re so cute and smart.
Wow, we just got a toy poodle last year!
That dog has been blessed.
My yorkie is 15 going on 16 and she still acts like a puppy. I hope she lives another 10. I love her so much.
My dog just passed away in august, he was a tan chihuahua he was 12 and in awesome shape. Wish him a healthy life
I'm so sorry. I lost two of mine at that age. It has been a year and a half since my most recent loss. Chihuahuas are everything.

I thought the same thing...lol!
Classic online photos!
I did to!
Well small dogs generally live longer.
Happy Birthday Spike! You were smart and got in the right car!❤❤❤
HINT: NOTICE they DONT feed him commercial dog food? just raw meat from groc store!!
She said cooked but yes he has a great diet.
@@circesoul2218 my dog eats meat and eggs only...he is so much more healthy
Why most people still feed dogs kibble is far beyond insane. Last time I read ingredients, it was basically grains sprayed with supplements. Disgusting, but it's all the vets recommend. Shameful.
@@asanseil5553 the vets recommend it, so the dogs get sick and go to the vets office who gives them drugs etc. thats why.
They also don't really know when he was born. Teeth and not being puppy like could happen in three years of a tough life.
Nobody knows how old this dog really is.
Thanks. I was thinking the same. Because an estimate from a Vet, is not as accurate as actual proof of birthdate.
Vets usually don't miss with more than a year, so he's still a beast💪🏼
Guiness is a joke. If you pay them enough, they'll print anything.
He looks pretty dang old
Exactly. Vets are wrong all the time. I've had 3 rescues from all different areas, and the vets have been wrong about each of their breeds and history. It's pretty bs. Oh, well.

WHAT A PRECIOUS MAN!!!!
There was a collie who lived to be older than 26 or 30, and she was on the world record too. Unfortunately she passed away a couple of years ago
I had a yorkie-poo dog that lived to be over 23 years old.
Lots of love makes a dog live a long time

Bobi, the Portuguese dog who was also the world's oldest dog, died in 2023 at the age of 31. RIP Bobi.
i bet he is about 18. I assume anyone that claims their dog is in its twenties is lying without incredible proof to the contrary.
