Labrador Retriever questions
How long do Labradors live?
Most Labrador Retrievers live 11 to 13 years. Keeping your Lab at a healthy weight is the single biggest thing you can do to add good years.
Is my Labrador old at 7?
At 7 a Labrador is entering its senior years. It is not "old" in a worrying way, but it is a good time for a vet check focused on joints and weight.
Do Labradors age faster than small dogs?
Yes. Large breeds like the Labrador age faster after maturity than small breeds, which is why a breed-aware calculator matters.
