How long does a shitzu live in human and dog years?

Shih Tzus typically have a lifespan of about 10 to 16 years. In dog years, this translates to roughly 70 to 84 years, depending on the specific age of the dog. Generally, small Dog Breeds like Shih Tzus tend to live longer than larger breeds, contributing to their extended lifespan. Regular veterinary care and a healthy lifestyle can help maximize their years.
