This actually works really well for general terms, but have you ever noticed that bigger dogs seem to age a little faster than little dogs i. The other issue is that even in the same size category, some pets of similar age seem to be older than others — just like in humans, in which we see some year-olds running marathons whereas others have much less stamina at that age. Animals in general tend to develop much faster than humans because, instinctively, they must be ready to survive in the wild.
A lot of what a puppy can do at the equivalent age of a human is going to be a bit more advanced. For example, puppies can crawl almost immediately after birth. As far as brain development goes, humans may take a little longer to develop, but we tend to be able to learn, retain, and understand much more than a dog ever will. Between physical and brain development, estimating equivalent ages between humans and puppies is a little tricky.
Compare some of the common development milestones below:. So where does that leave us? Contrary to common belief, dogs do not age at a rate of 7 human years for each year in dog years. Note that this calculator is for a medium size breed of dog. Consult the chart below to see the differences between different size dogs small, medium, large, giant. Enter your dog's age from 1 to 16 to get the human years equivalent. The calculation is made for a "medium" dog 21 to 50 pounds using the AKC recommendation.

The user can adjust these values under the options tab. This is useful to get more accurate results for extremely large or very small pets during the first two years. Importantly, the conversion for dog years to human years is directly based on human life expectancy.
For example, in Japan had an overall life expectancy of 83 years and Sierra Leone had a life expectancy of See List of countries by life expectancy for more values. The worldwide average human life expectancy in was So why do small dogs have a longer average life span than large breeds? Scientists concluded that every 4.
The reason why is still unknown, though Kraus puts forward several possibilities, including that larger dogs may succumb to age-related illnesses sooner and that the accelerated growth of large dogs may lead to a higher likelihood of abnormal cell growth and death from cancer.
