Dog age calculator (in human years)
Convert your dog's age to human years, taking the breed size into account.
Age in human years
39 years
Estimate: the 1st year ≈ 15 human years, the 2nd +9, then 4–6 per year by size (large dogs age faster).
How the calculation works
The first year equals about 15 human years; the second adds 9 more (24 total). After that, each year is worth 4 (small) to 6 (large) human years.
Frequently asked questions
Why do large dogs age faster?
Large breeds have shorter lifespans, so each year "counts" more in human years.
