    According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, it would actually be in the ballpark of 92 years old. Medically, the first year of a dog is closer to 15 years, second another 9 (for the first two totaling 24), and after that, for a small breed like Mr. Bentley here, 4 years per year. So, 15+9 = 24, and then 24 + (17x4), which is 24 + 68, for a total of 92 years old. He looks terrific.

They're so smart and have such vibrant personalities. My boy is a rat terrier and he's 18 too! We rescued him from a shelter around 15 years ago. He still runs around like a puppy when he's excited, he just has a heart murmer so he's on that and kidney medication for life. Other than that, he's a happy and healthy boy 😊

    We have one that showed up at our house at random after a big storm who is, as chihuahuas go, broken. He is sweet-natured and goes about life as if he's very grateful for the pampering he gets in our house, running up to my sister whenever she's crocheting because he think he's going to be fitted for a new sweater, which he also appreciates as he gets cold very easily. He does bark at strangers, and he's done an ankle bite or two, but I don't think I've seen him actually follow through with the "rabid chihuahua" attack they're known for.

I am so grateful to his foster mom. I would not have been able to adopt him right when he was rescued, because he was in such bad shape and I don't have the resources & knowledge. I also live alone, so wouldn't have been able to socialize him properly. His foster mom even flew him to me! He was still terrified when I adopted him, even after months with his amazing professional dog foster mom, so I can't even imagine how bad it was when he was first rescued. He has finally become a strong boy, totally unrecognizable to his past 2018 self.

    Elderly Chihuahuas are such a precious sort. When I was growing up my family had one that we raised from a puppy all the way up to fifteen years of age, and she managed fairly darn well until the last few years of her life. She was out family's first Chihuahua and we didn't maintain her teeth as well as we could have, so she ended up needing most of her teeth pulled by the time she was 12 or so. At 13 her hips started to give out, and at 15 she passed away of natural causes in our home, surrounded by the majority of her loved ones. They deserve every speck of love an owner can give!

He died a couple of years ago, but she's still going strong. She never let us open her mouth ever, so her teeth are soooo bad now and she has horrible breath. But, because of her age, the vet doesn't want to remove her teeth, or even attempt to clean them, because she might not wake up from anesthesia. So, we feed her mushy wet dog food and try not to smell her breath.

    We lost our 17-year-old Cairn Terrier in early January. We are experiencing real, devastating grief; but watching the love and patience you showed Mr. Bentley helped. Our Cairn was a member of our family. We virtually put our lives on hold and took care of her through a number of illnesses; and we would do it all over again if only we could. Thank you for your dedication to your clients even the ones who are older. P.S. I wish more people would look to adopt senior dogs.

The goofy little “stretch limo chihuahua” grew up right alongside me and gave me 20 years of absolute puppy joy!! I can’t wait to see her again one day, across the rainbow bridge. We humans definitely don’t deserve dogs…they’re pure unconditional love, in living form. ❤😊

    I just love the way you say ‘he’s ancient’ because I say the same thing about my grandpa’s cat, a cat who is currently 23 and will turn 24 in March 2023! Said cat is a very picky guy about who can pet him but whenever I pet him, he drools on me. I also lovingly refer to him as a worm on a string, because he is getting somewhat thin at his old age, but he eats an eats well, it’s just age. He’s happy and healthy but, naturally, not extremely active. Takes a walk around the garden and then goes back in to sleep. ❤ sometimes he goes outside and I come outside a bit from the house and he comes, screaming, demanding I carry him inside. (I’ll do it and he knows it.)

    This is why I think it's actually important to find a good groomer and STAY with that groomer. Sure, you want someone who will safely and gently groom your pet the way you want, but it's also about the relationship built between groomer and animal. Bentley obviously doesn't like his nails clipped, but he knows you and trusts that you won't hurt him, so didn't fight too much. That relationship keeps him from getting too stressed during the process, even at his age. I think he's beautiful!

    The loss of the lower jaw is sadly common in tiny breeds, we're probably all well aware that gum disease can lead to bone loss, and tiny breeds just have such fine bones that even a small amount of loss can compromise the lower jaw. I would urge any tiny breed owner to be extra, extra on top of their babies' dental hygiene to reduce the risk of losing the lower jaw. Whilst Mr Bentley seems to be handling it really well, it's not a condition you want to subject your dog to if you can avoid it.

    The Happy Hoodie can cover his entire body! So adorable! My previous doggo passed a few years back when she was 14. Our cat Smokey is still with us and he will be 19 in May. Our senior pets are a joy to have with us. Especially if you care for them since they were very young. My cat has literally been with me for almost half of my life 🥰

    As the proud owner of a 13 year old, derpy dachshund, this little old man made me laugh so much 😂 they just get so derpy in their old age and keep getting cuter and cuter. What a good boy

    My dog is also 19 (she'll be 20 this summer), and has the same basic body type, but she is just bigger. My late husband and I rescued her when she showed up at the building we worked at one day (when she was about 2, according to the vet). She was super skinny, full of fleas and internal parasites and both ears severely infected, but we got her all squared away and she hasn't gotten sick since then. She is one of the most sweet and loving animals I have ever had.
