A 6 year old Teddy is not considered old because dogs are in their physical prime at around 5 years of age and the general life expectancy of dogs is between 10-15 years, so a 6 year old Teddy should be in the middle age of the dog and still relatively strong. However, if past the age of 7, the Teddy’s body will show significant aging, showing slow movement, slow reactions, severe dental wear, and osteoporosis. A 6 year old Teddy is equivalent to a human being of about 40 years old, not old but also starting to lose strength, not as good as a 3-5 year old in his prime. If you want Teddy to live longer, it is best to take care of it in the usual way, such as hygiene, to strengthen the oral cleaning, because the wear and tear of the teeth is a major sign of aging in dogs, but also need to keep the dog’s diet light, to avoid burdening the organs, especially salt and sugar are not too much intake, in addition to ensure a certain amount of exercise every day, more sunshine, to strengthen the growth of bones.
