How old is my dog?
If you do a google search for "equivalent age" you should be able to get a good estimate. Pups mature much faster in their younger years, so their equivalent "human" age per year is older. As they get further away from puppy hood, that slows down.


A good estimate for the first few years of life is 8 to 11 years per human year, slowing to 3-5 years per human year as they age. The range in age is due to the relative size of the dog. Larger dogs "age" faster than smaller dogs. I hope this helps.
Reply:It is a common belief that 1 human year is equal to 7 dog years. That is not very accurate, since dogs reach adulthood within the first couple of years.





The formula is: 10.5 dog years per human year for the first 2 years, then 4 dog years per human year for each year after.
Reply:he would become sex mature at the age of 1 (a dog not a pup)
Reply:The magic number is 7.





As your dog is almost 1yr old, that would be the equivilant to a human's developement at 7yrs of age.





When she's two, she'll be 14.
Reply:It depends on who you ask, my vet says 13 years for the first year and then 7 each additional year. But it depends on the breed as large dogs tend to age faster than small dogs.
