How To Work Out A Dog's Age In Human Years
To work out the human age of a dog or other pets many people will multiply their age by seven
years. This is not that accurate, as differing breeds of dogs will age at differing rates. For
example, many smaller breeds of dogs such as a west highland terrier will live well into their
late teens, whilst larger dogs may only live to about ten years. Most dogs will also mature faster
than their human equivalents. The guidelines below will give you a better idea of how old your
dog is in human years:
A One Year Old Dog
Small Dog Breed - Will be 15 human years old.
Medium Sized Dog Breed - Will be 13 human years old.
Large Sized Dog Breed - Will be 12 human years old.
A Two Year Old Dog
Small Dog Breed - Will be 24 human years old.
Medium Sized Dog Breed - Will be 21 human years old.
Large Sized Dog Breed - Will be 19 human years old.
Thereafter for every actual year, add on 4 years for a small dog breed,
5 years for a medium dog breed or 7 years for a large dog breed.
The average life expectancy of a dog is 14 - 15 years.
Britain's oldest living dog was called Fred (a Papillon) and reached the grand age
of 29.
