My last dog was almost twenty when she died. In twenty years she had one ear infection, that's all, only time she went the vet was check ups and boosters. I don't even remember her ever having fleas. Sadly she was diagnosed with cancer, still she bounced around like a six month old until the day before she died.
She was fed on anything and everything, because until I got my new dog I had no idea about the pitfalls of pet food. So she was generally fed whatever was on offer when I was buying. Mixture of wet and dry food. Chappie, butchers, pedigree, wagg, you name it, all the stuff that I now wouldn't dream of giving my dog.
Still, must have done something right.
