Pyrenean Mastiffs are known for being kind and loving giants, but it is essential for their owners to keep an eye on their canine companion's weight
because excess body fat can reduce the dog's lifespan from 12 years to eight years
This breed is predisposed to obesity, which increases the risk of developing heart failure and other organ strains in the long run.
They are prone to bloat due to the fact that they are larger dog breeds.
Sadly, for many people, one of the most difficult aspects of owning a pet is bearing witness to their cherished canine companion's declining health and final demise.
Although there are breeds of dogs that can live up to or even beyond 14 years, there are other breeds
plagued with genetic disorders or age more quickly owing to their size, meaning that they do not have the same level of longevity as other dogs.
It is a sad fact that no pet owner ever wants to have to come to terms with, but it is something for which we should all be prepared
