How it works

The old "multiply by 7" rule for dog years is outdated. Modern veterinary science shows dogs age much faster in their first two years, then more slowly afterward. This calculator uses the updated formula: the first year equals 15 human years, the second year equals 9, and each year after that equals about 5 human years, giving a more accurate picture of your dog's life stage for health and care planning.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the dog years formula different from multiply by 7?

Dogs age much faster in their first two years, then more slowly afterward. The updated formula (first year = 15, second = 9, then +5/year) reflects this more accurately.

Can I see my dog's age on a future date?

Yes, enter an optional future date to see both the human age and dog age on that day.
