When a dog is diagnosed with stage 2 kidney disease they have a life expectancy of between 1 to 4 years after diagnoses of the stage 2 kidney disease.
However some dogs may live up to 5 or 6 years when diagnosed with stage 2 kidney disease but most dogs die within 1 to 4 years.
If you can afford to have it done you can actually get dialysis treatment for dogs and cats but the dialysis treatment can be expensive.
Some pet health insurance may cover the cost of the dog or cat dialysis but not always.
If the dog develops kidney disease after you get pet insurance then the cost of dog or cat dialysis may be covered.
Dialysis treatment for dogs and cats range from $3,000.00 to $4,000.00 per treatment which is very expensive.
