Dog years: The calculator (35 human years would be 4 y 2 m in dog(German Shepherd) years)


Working out your dog's true age used to be a case of simply multiplying it by seven. But it's more complicated than that, and here's a handy calculator to do it for you.

A recent Magazine feature explained that:

Different breeds of dog age at varying speeds
Dogs age at varying speeds at different stages of their lives

With that in mind, we've built a calculator for you to work out your dog's true age - its age in "dog years".

Alternatively, you can find out how old you would be if you were a dog. You can choose to be a labrador, a spaniel, a whippet, or any one of 20 breeds.
