Dog Age

Convert dog age to human.

Explanation

The "x7" rule is a myth! Dogs don't age linearly. Also, size matters immensely. ### The Real Curve - **1st Year**: Rapid growth. At 1 year old, a dog is like a 15-year-old human (teenager). - **2nd Year**: Reaches adulthood. At 2 years, approx 24 human years. - **After**: Add about 4-5 years per dog year. ### Size Impact - **Small Dogs**: Age slower, live longer (15-16 years). - **Large Dogs**: Age faster, live shorter (10-12 years).

Examples

1 year old dog = 15 year old human.
10 year old Small dog = 56 human years.
10 year old Giant dog = 75-80 human years.
