Dog Years?..How Does It Work?

Question

How do you actually calculate dog years?

If my puppy is 7 Weeks, Then how old is he in the dog world?

Answer 1

Actually it is

1st year = 5 human

each additional = 7 human

Answer 2

The myth is that you multiply your dog's age by 7, if my dog was 5 then 5 x 7 = 35, so the human age of my dog would be around 35, but this is not very accurate, it depends on the breed, size, health problems, etc. But the x 7 thing gives you a vague estimate.

As for your puppy, it is pretty hard to tell until they are about a year old. But of course, ask your vet the next time you see them.

Answer 3

Actually, it is x7 for large breeds and x5 for small breeds.  Our lhasa will be 17 at the end of the month which will make her 85.
