Did animals live longer than now before the flood?
The dog in Adam's house, did it live until 200 years old?
Adam was 900+ old.

Since Adam was 900+ old, so it's not out of thinking that Dog isn't 200

As others have said, we have no way to know. Did mosquitoes that bit Adam live longer because they had his blood? Let's hope not, or at least Adam would have hoped not.

Mosquitos did not suck blood before the flood, they lived on flower nectar. Right?

You are confusing the flood with the fall.

I'd like to know more about Adam's dog. Is there scriptural evidence?

There is nothing in the bible to indicate Adam had a dog or that animals were long lived.

As there was no flood, I'm going to say no, they didn't.

There was a flood, it just didn't submerge the entire planet.

I'm sure they did.

In fact, they would still be alive today, had it not been for the Fall.

I can get on board with that.

The pressure was different , animals weren't scared of people aswell .
It might be that the dog lived longer , at least the first set of animals lived untill Adam sinned without dying so at least few or dozen years .

 

[Jimmy D]

The pressure was different

What pressure?

 

[Chinchilla]

What pressure?

There is a pressure by air on every inch of your skin
There is never nothing around us we are always in some type of fluid be it water or air around us .

OK, thanks.

What leads you to that conclusion?

 

[Chinchilla]

OK, thanks.

What leads you to that conclusion?

Get under water deep enought to feel it in your ears or get on plane and experience it likewise

Sorry, I wasn't clear.

What leads you to the conclusion that air pressure was different in the recent past and that it greatly increased the lifespan of a dog?

 

[Chinchilla]

You know , God said so
According to Scriptures there was no sea or rain prior to flood so the earth changed a bit , I don't know how much but the air ehtier had to be compressed or go somewhere for the water to take it's place

Blood is needed for the eggs to be fertile.
