our dog is 12 years old today, in dog years how old is he?

Answer 1

12 x 7 = 84 years old in dog years

Answer 2

Dogs and cats both age 7 years for every human year. So take 12 * 7 = 84. He's 84 dog years old.

Answer 3

I used to work with a Vet. It's not really times 7 years contrary to popular belief. What I understand, is that they age 7 years for ther first 2 years of their life, then after 2 years......it goes by fives. For example.....a dog 2 years old would be considered 14, but a dog 3 years old would be considered 19. Understand? So your dog is 12, that would make him 64.

Answer 4

After checking the answers, 64 is much closer to the truth than 86.
It's not so simple, the X7 calculation is only applied for the 7 or 9 firsts months, then for the next year and a half or so, it's X5, then it goes down to X3...
For sure a dog 6 or 7 years old is at the top of his maturity, like human beings, at 35-40 they're at their top, from then they start to get old

Answer 5

84 years old. You always multiply how old dogs are in human years by 7. So... 12 times 7= 84

Answer 6

Your dog is mighty old cause dogs age 7 years to our 1 year. Your dog is 84.

Answer 7

84

Answer 8

84

Answer 9

84

Answer 10

It's true that multiplying their years by seven is a PRETTY accurate gauge to relate their age to ours, but remember, at the beginning of a dog's life (like the first year or two), you should only multiply by 3, so I would say 2x3 = 6 plus 10x7=70 - Your dog is about 76 people years.
