Oldie
Breeds
When is my dog a senior?
There is no single birthday. Veterinary guidelines put the senior stage at roughly the last quarter of a breed's expected lifespan, so a giant breed gets there years before a toy breed (the when is a dog senior guide explains the reasoning). The table gives the age Oldie uses as a starting point for each breed, with typical life expectancy and adult weight from breed standards. Sighthounds have their own pages, because their bloodwork, anaesthesia and paw care differ from other dogs.
Ranges describe most dogs of a breed, not any one dog. Talk to your vet about your dog. Weight and life expectancy ranges come from breed standards; median lifespans and breed concerns cite peer-reviewed studies, veterinary association guidelines and the Merck Veterinary Manual. Ranges are typical, not limits for an individual dog.
