When you have a pet, it is natural to think about and even worry about their life span. This article will cover everything you need to know including:
• Life expectancy of the Shih Tzu breed
• Life span compared to other breeds and to other animals
• Top leading causes of death
• Answering the question of, is it possible to increase life span
Since knowledge is power, let’s dive into this subject.
The Life Expectancy of the Shih Tzu Breed
The Shih Tzu’s life span is a range of 10 to 16 years. The average is 13 years.
This is an approximation and there are always exceptions. Many Shih Tzu do live until their early teens and some live until their mid teens. The oldest documented Shih Tzu was 23 years old. And the oldest Shih Tzu currently living and verified by AllShihTzu is 19 years old (at the time of this writing).
The age of 13 years is considered to be a moderate and average life expectancy in regard to canines. In the United States, dogs in general live to 12.67 years on average, without trauma factored in. When death by trauma is included, it drops to 11.1 years.
Note that overall, female dogs (of all breeds) live 1.5 years longer than males.
Shih Tzu Life Span Compared to Other Breeds
In looking at the Shih Tzu’s life expectancy range of 10 to 16 years, this is similar to some other toy and small breeds:
Bichon Frise 12 to 15 years
Chihuahua 15 to 20 years
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel 9 to 14 years
Pomeranian 12 to 16 years
Lhasa Apso 12 to 14 years
Maltese 12 to 15 years
Pekingese 13 to 15 years
Pug 12 to 15 years
Shih Tzu 10 to 16 years
Yorkshire Terrier 12 to 15 years
And when looking at the Shih Tzu’s average life span of 13 years, this falls in the middle of a variety of other breeds with both short and long life spans:
Short:
Bullmastiff: 9 years
Great Dane: 8.5 years
Newfoundland: 9 years
Rottweiler: 9.5 years
Saint Bernard: 9.5 years
Long:
Beagle: 15 years
Dachshund: 17.5 years
Jack Russell Terrier: 16 years
Toy Poodle: 16 years
Shih Tzu Life Span Compared to Other Animals
Keeping in mind the Shih Tzu’s average life expectancy of 13 years, which is very close to the average of 12.5 for dogs in general, let’s see how this compared to other pets and animals:
Cats (indoor): 12 to 18 years
Dolphins (bottlenose): 30 to 50 years
Ferrets (kept as pet): 5 to 10 years
Guinea Pigs: 4 to 8 years
Hamsters: 1.5 to 3.5 years
Horses: 25 to 30 years
Parakeets: 10 to 14 years
Rabbits (domesticated, pets): 8 to 12 years
Leading Causes of Death for the Shih Tzu Breed
A helpful study conducted by the University of Georgia recorded and summarized the top causes of death of dogs by looking at veterinary records that spanned over two decades. This extensive study documented 82 different purebred breeds, along with mixed breeds. In all, there were 74,556 dogs, including 826 Shih Tzu.
The findings offer a good understanding of the cause of death for this breed. Results are divided into two groups: Puppies, which are dogs under the age of 1-year, and adults which are dogs 1-year and older.
Leading Cause of Death for Puppies
For puppies (dogs under the age of 1-year), cause of death is the same across all breeds. The top 2 reasons are:
#1 Infection. This includes parvovirus, distemper, and leptospirosis, which can be all but avoided with proper on-time vaccinations.
#2 Trauma. Death by trauma included fatal injury to the head, body, or both. Some completely avoidable fatal traumas include being stepped on, accidentally falling down staircases, being dropped, and being hit by a car.
