How to Calculate Dog Age?
Calculating a dog's age involves understanding how dogs age compared to humans. The traditional rule that one dog year equals seven human years is outdated. Instead, consider:
- For Younger Dogs: The first year is roughly 15 human years, the second year about 9 years.
- After Two Years: Each additional dog year is about 4-5 human years.
- Breed Matters: Small breeds live longer, large breeds age faster.
- Modern Calculations: Advanced models use genetics and breed size for accurate age conversion.
For precise results, consult a veterinarian or use online calculators designed for dog age estimation.
