How to Calculate Your Dog's Age in Human Years

A puppy's first year counts for 15-20 human years depending on breed size.

Puppy 

For the next few years as a "youth", each dog year equals 4-5 human years.  

Youth

In adulthood, every year translates to 4-6 human years, based on if dog is small, medium or big.

Adulthood   

At age 7+, dogs enter "senior" status. Factor breed lifespan to calculate age.

Senior  

Small dogs' lifespan is longer so their first 2 years equal 14 human years.

Medium dogs age a bit faster. Their first 2 years equals 16 human years.
