How long do Golden Retrievers live?
The only way to answer this question is with an average and that would be 10-12 years. There are many factors that affect longevity: genetics, health, food, environment, to name just a few. Please keep in mind that some dogs live shorter lives and many live longer; it is not possible predict how long any dog will live. Go Back to Questions What should I feed my dog? Dog food requirements are ever-changing and it is a matter of personal choice and budget. Generally, TVGRR recommends at least a high quality kibble, from named meat sources (i.e. chicken or turkey, not poultry; or beef or lamb, not meat), no coloring agents, natural preservatives and vitamin additives. Many Golden Retrievers seem to be prone to skin allergies and feeding your dog a better food will frequently control or even stop allergy problems.
