Why Age Conversion Matters
- • Helps understand your pet's life stage
- • Guides appropriate care and nutrition
- • Informs health screening schedules
- • Assists in behavioral expectations
Factors Affecting Age Conversion
- • Breed size (for dogs)
- • Individual genetics
- • Health and nutrition
- • Activity level and lifestyle
Remember
Age conversion is an estimate. Every pet ages differently based on genetics, health, and care. Regular veterinary checkups are the best way to monitor your pet's health throughout their life.
Dog Aging Facts
- • Smaller dogs generally live longer than larger dogs
- • Giant breeds are considered senior at 5-6 years
- • The "7 years per human year" rule is oversimplified
- • Dogs age rapidly in their first two years
- • Genetics play a major role in lifespan
Cat Aging Facts
- • Indoor cats typically live longer than outdoor cats
- • Cats are considered senior at around 7 years
- • Many cats live well into their teens or twenties
- • Spayed/neutered cats often live longer
- • Regular vet care significantly impacts lifespan
Our calculator uses the latest veterinary research which shows that pets age faster in their early years, then the rate slows. The old '7 years per human year' rule is outdated. Our breed-specific calculations provide much more accurate results.
