Dog Age Calculator

Convert your dog's age into human years, the modern way. Dogs do not simply age seven years for every one of ours, so this uses a size-based model instead.

Enter your dog's age and size to see their human age.

Why the "multiply by 7" rule is wrong

Dogs pack a lot of growing into their first two years. A one year old dog is roughly a 15 year old human, and a two year old dog is around 24. After that the pace slows, and it slows differently by size. Smaller dogs tend to live longer and age more gently, while large and giant breeds age faster in their later years. That is why a flat multiplier misses the mark.

Knowing your dog's real life stage helps with everything from diet to exercise to how often they need the toilet. Plan the last one with our free potty planner, or see all our dog tools.
