Everyone knows the typical formula for calculating dog years: one year is seven dog years. This means that if the dog is four actual years old, this corresponds to the age of a 28-year-old human.<\/p>\n
But if you take a closer look at this calculation, it doesn't necessarily add up. A one-year-old dog would then be like a seven-year-old human. But a one-year-old dog is already fully sexually mature! Conversely, a ten-year-old female dog can still give birth, whereas this is rather unlikely for a 70-year-old woman.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
So how is the real age of a dog calculated?<\/p>\n
In the first two years of life, a dog ages much faster compared to humans than during the following years. The life expectancy of larger breeds is generally shorter than that of medium-sized or small dogs. A large dog is often already a senior at the age of five, while smaller dogs are only counted as seniors from the age of ten.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The following conversion into dog years is quite simple and much more accurate than multiplying by 7. A one-year-old dog therefore corresponds to the maturity of a 12-year-old human, a two-year-old to that of a 24-year-old. From the age of three, four years are added per year. A three-year-old dog therefore corresponds to a 28-year-old human, a four-year-old to a 32-year-old and so on.<\/p>\n
The average life expectancy of a dog is 14 years, or 72 years in human terms. This figure varies depending on the breed. As with humans, bitches usually live longer than males.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
