Dog Age Calculator – Calculate Your Dog's Age in Human Years with Scientific Formula
The Dog Age Calculator converts your dog's age to human years using a scientific, breed and size-based formula. The old "multiply by seven" rule isn't accurate — dogs develop unevenly.
Enter your dog's age and breed or weight, and the calculator uses research-based models that account for changing development rates throughout a dog's life. Small breeds typically live longer than large breeds.
How Long Can Dogs Live?
Small breeds (under 22 lbs) typically live 12–16 years, medium breeds 10–13 years, and large breeds (over 88 lbs) 8–10 years. The world's oldest documented dog lived nearly 30 years. A dog's first year equals about 15 human years, the second year adds about 9 more years — then aging slows down.
