Pet parents reading this article are surely curious about how to determine their dog’s age and the extent of aging. Here’s an overview of the article: Introduction: Different dog breeds and sizes have distinct age calculation methods. Generally, smaller dogs tend to live longer than larger ones. A dog’s age is not equivalent to seven human years. At one year of age, a dog can reproduce, but a seven-year-old human is still a minor in elementary school. This indicates that the age calculation for dogs is more complex. According to the latest academic data, a one-year-old dog is roughly equivalent to a 30-year-old human. The director will now outline the key points for calculating a dog’s age for pet parents’ reference. How to Convert the Age of Small Dogs? The age conversion for small dogs (under 10kg): A small dog at one year is approximately 15 human years, at 10 years old it’s about 56 human years, and a 14-year-old small dog is roughly 72 human years. Medium-sized dogs grow quickly but age slowly. How to Convert the Age of Medium Dogs (10-22kg)? At one year, it’s about 15 human years, at 10 years old it’s approximately 60 human years, and at 14 years old, it’s roughly 78 human years. Larger dogs age faster. How to Convert the Age of Large Dogs (23-40kg)? At one year, it’s about 15 human years, at 10 years old it’s about 66 human years, and a 14-year-old large dog is already at 88 human years. The larger and heavier the dog, the faster it ages. Large dogs generally enter the aging phase at six years old. What’s more important after understanding the age? The director wants to tell pet parents that each dog’s living conditions and diet vary, and age does not necessarily accurately reflect the aging condition. Age is only an overview; understanding the extent of a dog’s aging is crucial. It’s the first step to understand your dog’s age, and pet parents should always pay attention to their dogs’ health conditions. After understanding the dog’s age, it’s also important to understand the aging condition. Large dogs enter the aging phase after six years of breeding, while small dogs generally start aging at eight years old. There are several clear signs of entering old age, and pet parents can start paying attention to their dogs’ conditions: Dull coat, serious bad breath (oral), gradually disliking exercise (joints), unable to stand for long periods, weak hind limbs (joints), easily bumping into things, loss of sense of direction (eyes), poor appetite, weakness, weight loss (kidney problems), coughing, easy to pant, poor spirit (heart problems), excessive barking, destructive behavior, separation anxiety, increased aggression (brain problems). The director mentioned above are just simple external conditions. If you notice your dog exhibiting the above behaviors, in addition to starting to care about your dog’s physical condition, remember to consult professional veterinary resources!
