The world’s oldest dog, a Shiba mix named Pusuke living in Tokyo, passed away recently in Japan at the age of 26 and 8 months. Typically a dog of the Shiba breed will live 12-15 years, but Pusuke doubled his expectancy and made it official in the Guiness Book of World Records just last December (2010). In dog years, Pusuke lived to what would be equivalent to roughly 182 years of age in human years. A dog living long enough to see that age is very rare, but there are things you can do to maintain a healthy pooch. Keep your pup’s diet balanced and free of unnecessary ingredients found in most commercial dog food products. Exercise your pooch regularly to maintain a fit weight, and schedule annual vet visits for check-up’s to confirm your canine’s health. Helping your pup lead a full, healthy life is possible with the correct care. As for Pusuke’s owner, she would like to thank her furry friend “for staying alive so long.”
