I LOVE YOU.... ?? WHAT DOES I LOVE YOU REALLY MEAN? Each time you say "I love you," you are really saying "I am here for you." "Being here" means being fully present in the relationship—physically, emotionally and spiritually. Saying "I love you" means "I am committed to you" and "I am committed to us." You are telling that person you are in this relationship...

Pug.[2]

It's hard to top the pug for sheer cuteness. Its huge eyes, wrinkly face, and diminutive size make it a favorite around the world.

Beagle.[2]

The adorable beagle doesn't get too much bigger as it grows up, except in the ears!

Shih Tzu.[2]

This toy dog breed, thought to have originated in Tibet, rarely grows to over 20 pounds. As puppies, they are about the size of guinea pigs.

Bassett Hound.[2]

The classic hang-dog look of the basset hound is both adorable and sad, as if these little fellas are constantly feeling blue.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.[1]

For such an unassuming little pup, the Cavalier King Charles spaniel has a name fit for royalty. Their friendly and affectionate demeanor makes them a very popular breed.

Malamute.[2]

The Alaskan malamute has lived in North America for over 12,000 years and has historically been used as a work and sled dog. They are also very affectionate and quite adorable.

Dachshund.[2]

Dachshunds, often called wiener dogs, do resemble cute little sausages; their tiny legs only add to the impression.

Mastiff.[1]

There are many types of mastiff dogs, and they all start out as sweet, wrinkly pups. This Italian mastiff, or cane corso, will grow to weigh over 100 pounds.

Corgi.[2]

Hailing from Wales, legend holds that these sweet little pups once served as mounts for woodland fairies.

St. Bernard.[1]

They may start out cute and cuddly, but the St. Bernard can grow to weigh over 250 pounds, making it the largest dog on our list.

The human lifespan has increased significantly over the past century. Thanks to significant progress in medicine it may continue to increase even further!. Our pets have also enjoyed an increase in their overall life expectancy, although not quite as dramatically as humans.
We all want our pets to live as long as possible, which is why we’re delving into the complicated topic of pet longevity and how pet owners can make the most of it!
The Domestication Factor
It’s probably obvious to most people that pets enjoy an increased lifespan over their feral counterparts. The difference is particularly striking when it comes to our feline friends, who in the “wild” have a life expectancy of only a few years, but can easily live 15-20 years when kept in the home of a loving and attentive human owner.

Allowing a cat to live outdoors even part time can significantly cut down on the number of years you have together. The risks to your indoor-outdoor cat’s longevity include:
Being hit by a car
Attack by another animal
Ingestion of poisonous substance
Contracting a disease from another animal
Injury or death at the hands of other people
To give your cat the best shot at a long and healthy life, we always recommend keeping them indoors exclusively.
The Role Of Breed
Genetics plays an important role in pet longevity, and a pet’s breed may determine in part how long he or she can be expected to live. Larger dog breeds, such as Great Danes and Irish Wolfhounds, tend to have significantly shorter lifespans than smaller varieties like terriers and beagles. Certain cat breeds, including Balinese and Bombay, also tend to live longer than other breeds.
Inbreeding can reduce the lifespan of both dogs and cats as it increases the chance that an individual animal will be born with genetic problems or abnormalities common to the breed. Mixed breed animals of both species tend to be hardier, and that can often correlate to a longer life expectancy.
Pet Longevity
Although breed, size, life circumstances, and plain old luck all play a role in pet longevity, there is still plenty that a pet owner can do to prolong the life of his or her best pal. Consider the following:
Preventive medicine – By adhering to your pet’s regularly scheduled wellness exams, you are giving your veterinarian a chance to spot and treat any health conditions early, before they become major problems.
Spay/neuter – Spaying and neutering offers protection from ovarian, uterine, and testicular cancers, all of which can shorten a pet’s life.
Disease prevention – Making sure your pet is up to date on his or vaccines and is on year-round parasite prevention protocol will help to prevent a variety of devastating diseases that can significantly reduce his or her lifespan.
Weight management – Keeping your pet at a healthy weight through diet and exercise will help to prevent a variety of life-shortening conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.
Your team at Beverly Hills Veterinary Associates is honored to work side by side with you in ensuring that your pet lives the best (and longest) life possible! Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns about your pet.

What other pets live the longest? You can bet a long life has something to do with environment, the animal's stress level, happiness, and nutrition but some categories of animals are just blessed with the right genes allowing them to live almost as long or longer than a human!
Pet's Life Expectancy
When you're searching for a pet but you're not sure what type of pet to acquire, an important consideration should be the life expectancy of the animal. How long can you commit to your future pet?

Following is a list of animals and their life expectancies (in no particular order):
Mice
These small rodents make good pets as they are easy to care for and they bond with their owners. Usually given as a first pet, these short lived creatures with an average lifespan of 1 to 3 years, if cared for properly, can live a maximum of four to 5 years!
Hamsters
These little critters, like mice, are easy to care for and have an average lifespan of 2 to 3 years. The dwarf hamster live around 2 while regular hamsters can reach up to 4 years.

Gerbils
Another good first pet is the gerbil, a relatively perky and social desert mouse. Gerbils are odorless and quiet with a lifespan of 2 to 4 years, although some have reached the ripe old age of 6!
Rats
These very intelligent mammals, commonly blamed for starting the bubonic plague (it was really the fault of the fleas the rats carried) always got a bad rap throughout history! Rats require a lot of interaction and exercise to keep them happy. They're alert, friendly and they readily bond with their owners. Although they have an average lifespan of 2 to 4 years, with proper care rats can live up to 7!

Hedgehogs
Prickly, cute and easily cared for is the hedgehog. Although not a good pet for a young child because their quills can become prickly if handled rough. The hedgehog can grow to as old as 8 with their average lifespan being 4 to 6 years of age.
Guinea Pigs
Commonly known as the whistle pig, the Guinea pig is a bit larger than the mouse, hamster and gerbil. They're social and friendly and enjoy time spent with their owner. Although a bit more difficult to care for than the aforementioned animals, their average lifespan is about 5 years (although the longest living Guinea pig has been recorded as being 14 years!)

Ferrets
Not a rodent but in the same family as the weasel, the ferret has a slight musky odor and are extremely playful and curious. They sleep around twenty hours a day and they require regular exercise. They are, however, prone to cancer but a well bred and cared for ferret can live to be over 10. Their average lifespan is 5 to 7 years of age.
Squirrels
I've never thought of a squirrel as a pet but apparently they are sometimes kept as such and can live up to 16 years. Many pros and cons exist about squirrels being a good pet.

Fish
Not the most cuddly of pets but certainly attractive and beautiful without too much fuss, fish are usually happy if their environment is kept clean and they are daily fed. A goldfish can survive for 25 years or more when properly cared for and not stressed. Average lifespans can be 1 to 10 years, depending upon what fish you buy.
Lizards
Some reptiles like lizards are difficult to keep because environmental manipulation is necessary to keep them healthy. Take your pick from a wide variety of species from tiny geckos to the gargantuan monitor lizards! Lifespans of lizards range from 3 (the chameleon) into their 30's (the gecko,) depending upon the species.

Snakes
This reptile, like the lizard, requires environmental manipulation to keep them healthy. If cared for and handled proper, the snake can make an exciting pet! Snakes can live to be over 30 years under the proper conditions but they are very finicky animals. Their average lifespan is 10 to 15 years old!
Dogs
The dog is the oldest domesticated animal and dare I say, one of the most popular first pet choices ever (cat owners would argue this.) Dogs are loving, loyal, playful and require regular exercise.
The lifespan of the dog varies from breed to breed, with small dogs living into their twenties and the largest of breeds living from eight to ten years! Proper health care, diet and their living environment are also contributing factors that can add or subtract from their average 6 to 15 year average lifespan.

Cats
These social animals are one of the most popular pets which provide a good balance between intelligence and independence. They are litter trainable animals that make exceptional companions without being too demanding. Cats, like the dog or any domesticated animal for that matter, can live longer with the proper environment, healthcare and food provided. Indoor cats tend to live longer than outdoor cats due to limited exposure to predators and disease. The average cat lifespan ranges from 10 to 15 years with some reaching into their twenties!
Rabbits
Cute, docile, and fairly low maintenance is the rabbit. Although a bit skittish, a rabbit could very well bond with its owner and enjoy human contact.
Rabbits are usually kept indoors and with proper health care and feeding can live into their teens. A rabbit's average lifespan is 8 to 12 years.
Birds
These fairly small, highly intelligent animals make popular pets and can live very long with some parrot species reaching the hundred year mark and beyond (so get that will ready!)
Keep in mind, if you hate noise, chirping or even talking, a bird may not be for you. The lifespans vary largely from species to species with lovebirds reaching 10 years, the Parakeet ten to 15 years, the Cockatoo 30 to 40 years and the Macaw 30 to 50 years!
Turtles
Controlling their environment and keeping them safe is the prime directive for the aquatic turtle, the box turtle and tortoise owner. Turtles make great pets with turtles living up to 30 years and the land dwelling tortoise living feasibly hundreds of years! So unless you're methuselah, you can be assured a tortoise will be willed to some lucky family member! The common pet tortoise however, will generally live into its seventies. The Box Turtle, although sometimes referred to as a Box Tortoise, are members of the American pond turtle family and not the tortoise family. Box Turtles have an average lifespan of about 123 years!
Swans
A bit exotic and requiring special attention and feeding, the swan could be a good pet if you have a pond in your garden. They can live up to 102 years with good care and let's face it ... a swan is beautiful!

Human life spans have expanded dramatically in the last hundred years and could expand even more in the next hundred, thanks to progress in medicine. Yet, our dogs, cats, and other domestic animals are living only marginally longer than their ancestors. This might not be so for too much longer, however. Veterinary medicine is evolving. Injuries or illnesses that would have consigned a dog or cat to euthanasia just a few years ago are now very treatable. And more progress is yet to come, thanks to promising recent breakthroughs in genetics, along with continuing improvements in nutrition, surgery, and disease treatment. A dog today can enjoy 12 to 15 years of life, on average. Don’t be surprised, however, if it becomes normal late in this century for a dog to still be alive and tail-wagging at age 20 or 25—or even 30! Domestic dogs have been in our homes and lives for the past 10,000 years, according to anthropologists. But Labrador retrievers, Chihuahuas, whippets, and the thousands of other breeds we know today only came into being over the last few centuries. Dogs of 8000 BCE looked much more like wolves, their feral cousins. We all know how those ancient domestic dogs became today’s dogs: breeding.
