Kush, the Oldest English Mastiff in Australia, Probably in the World

This beach lover dog named Kush in the oldest English Mastiff in Australia, and possible even in the world. She is 15-years-old. If that doesn’t sound old enough for you, then consider this, in human years that is equivalent to 105 years.

With her age, Kush has far outlived the life expectancy of her breed which is 10 year.

Her secret according to her owner Phil Newman is a diet free of processed foods. Instead of dog food from the pet store, he feed her raw meat, bones, vegetables and herbs and he would not feed her everyday. Just like dogs in the wild that would gorge on a kill and go for a couple of days without food, says Phil.

And what’s amazing is she had never once been to the vet in her 15 years of life.
