 How old is your dog?

 

The general consensus among lay people is that 1 year in a dog's life equals 7 years in a human life. In fact, a dogs ages more quickly early in life, and at a slower rate later in life.

In addition, different breeds age at different rates, with larger dogs aging more rapidly and small breeds at a slower rate. This chart gives a rough idea of age equivalents for dogs as they relate to humans.

 

Age equivalents for dogs:

8 months = 13 years

1 year = 16 years

2 years = 24 years

3 years = 28 years

5 years = 36 years

7 years = 44 years

9 years = 52 years

11 years = 60 years

13 years = 68 years

15 years = 76 years
