A dog’s year is equivalent to a human’s 18 years, when the dog becomes an adult. Usually dogs can live about 12-14 years, so when dogs reach about 14 years old, they are very old and their body functions will deteriorate. At this time the owner should take care of the dog carefully, otherwise the dog will easily die because of illness. After 2 months, the dog can start to prepare for the three vaccinations and one rabies shot, and then one vaccination and one rabies shot every year for booster immunization. When a dog enters middle age around the age of 9, it is important to regularly give the dog a thorough checkup to rule out some potential diseases of the internal organs of the body.
