HOW OLD IS MY DOG OR PUPPY IN HUMAN AGE?
Traditionally, it has always been thought that one year of a dog's life corresponds to seven years of human age. However, this method is not entirely accurate because it does not take into account the different stages of life of dogs and their physical evolution. Today, there are more accurate methods to determine the age of your dog in human years.
In general, it is considered that: A puppy under 1 year old is still growing and developing very quickly, which is approximately the equivalent of 15 years in human age
.
A dog aged 1 to 2 years is considered a young adult, and is equivalent to a human aged 15 to 24 years.
A dog aged 3 to 5 years is considered an adult, and is equivalent to a human aged 24 to 36 years.
A dog aged 6 to 9 years is considered a mature adult, and is equivalent to a human aged 36 to 52 years.
A dog between 10 and 12 years old is considered a senior dog, and is equivalent to a human being between 56 and 64 years old.
A dog over 12 years old is considered a very old dog, and is equivalent to a human being over 64 years old.
It is important to note that this method is an approximation and your dog's actual age may vary depending on breed, size, and health. Always consult your veterinarian for accurate information about your dog's age and to determine the appropriate care for your dog based on his or her age.
