Always heard and thought it was 7:1 ratio.

Just sitting here trying to figure out human years for our 14 year old beagle.

Came across this info that's new to me. Thoughts?

quote:

General guidelines for calculating dog age in human years 

The first year of a dog's life is equal to about 15 human years.

The second year of a dog's life is equal to about nine human years.

After that, each human year is equal to about four or five dog years.

I'm suspect. My 2 year old lab is nowhere near the maturity of a 29 year old human.

I was told there would be no math in OT Lounge.

The 7:1 ratio would make a 2 year old dog 14 - not 29

I think it’s a weird way of wording it.

Why did it go from each year of a dogs year = so many human years to…

each human year = so many dog years.

There’s no set amount of human years for dog years in the first 2 provided examples. You can only average.

Then they hit me with each human year is 4 or 5 years.

Is the dog getting older faster or slower?

Whatever dog age is, it's way too short.

That’s concerning, I’ve got a lab just over a year old. Very smart/sweet dog and I love him to death but most of the time he’s like a 4 year old kid who can’t control his urges to do shite that he knows he’s not supposed to be doing

Multiple the dogs age by 6 to get human equivalent

Not to mention the post he responded to can't add 15 + 9. Thread is a mess.

Eli is 85 lbs so at 6 1/2 he’s in his late 40s. That makes me sad.
