How Old Is Your Dog?

A popular old wives' tale claims that one year of a dog's life is equal to seven human years. This has been proven to be false. For example, dogs are capable of reproducing at around one year of age, but a seven year old child is far from sexually mature. So, Veterinarians have adopted a new comparison chart. The chart to the left is a much more realistic comparison between Dog Years versus Human Years.


When are dogs considered geriatric
and likely to manifest problems associated with aging?
Small Dogs (less than 20 pounds) 11.5 years (+/- 1.9)
Medium sized Dogs (21-50 pounds) 10.2 years (+/-1.6)
Large Dogs (51-90 pounds) 8.9 years (+/-1.4)
Giant Dogs (more than 90 pounds) 7.5 years (+/-1.3)
