11. Agreed - my last dog lived to be 20 yrs

He probably would have lived longer but a loose pit bull dog injured his leg.

His diet - raw beef over kibble.

My two current dogs (half huskies) eat good. - they like their beef cooked a little and they want variety- so they get chicken stew too. I never give them canned food - just beef, liver or chicken over a little kibble. They also love bones.

Now Univ of Wisconsin says dogs baby shots can last a lifetime- so they get fewer shots . They drink clean well water and live out in the country with clean air -

They have a 50’ x 100’ run with lots of trees in their run so thru their doggie door they go in and out whenever and of course - they sleep on my bed.
