Dog Size:

Did you know? The old "1 dog year = 7 human years" rule is a myth! Dogs age faster in their first two years and then slow down. Size also matters - larger dogs age faster than smaller ones.

How Dog Years Work

Dogs don't age at a constant rate compared to humans. During their first year, puppies develop rapidly and reach the equivalent of about 15 human years. The second year adds another 9-10 human years. After that, each dog year equals about 4-8 human years depending on size.
