Frequently Asked Questions
Is 1 dog year really equal to 7 human years?
No, this is a myth! Dogs age much faster in their first two years (about 10-15 human years per dog year), then slow down. The rate also varies by size - larger dogs age faster than smaller ones.
How do you calculate a dog's age in human years?
Dog age calculation depends on size. Small dogs: first year = 15 human years, second = 9, then 4 per year. Large dogs age faster, with giant breeds aging approximately 7-8 human years for each dog year after maturity.
Do cats age the same as dogs?
Cats follow a different aging pattern. A 1-year-old cat is roughly 15 in human years, a 2-year-old is about 24, and after that cats age approximately 4 human years for each cat year.
