how long is 1 dog year in our human years ?

Answer 1

It actually varies by size. For larger dogs, yes about 7 years. For smaller ones, more like 5. (This makes sense as smaller dogs generally have longer lifespans and vice versa with large dogs).

Answer 2

Opinion varies but....

The first year or so is 12-18 to one. Because a dog is fully mature in a year or so So one equals our 15-18.

Next few years drop back depending on the life expectancy of that breed. (some dog naturally live only to 10 years or so) A dog is middle age at 4 to 5 (our 40-50). so 8 to one

Next years drop back, dogs age 2 to our 1, so a dog 6,8,to maybe 10 is approx 60-70 human years

Old guys 8, 10, 12 plus, could be considered 65 to 80 years old.

Next years will speed up

But taking an average of a particular breed the end results would be approx 7 years dog equal 1 year human. But just not in the maturity and age bracks.

Was that enough to thoroughly confuse you??
1-2 year old dog is mature
3-4 years is yound adult
5-8 is middle age
9-up is senior citizen

Answer 7

seven
If your dog is 20 pounds or less it will be 36 human years old when it reaches the age of 5 years. From then it will age about four human years to every one dog year. He will become a senior at age 7 (44 human), and a geriatric at age 14 (72 human years).

A dog between 21 and 50 pounds will be 37 human year old when it reaches the age of 5. It will age between 4 to 5 human years for each dog year after reaching 37. It becomes a senior at dog age 7 (47 human) and a geriatric at dog age 12 (human 69).

From 51 to 90 pounds a dog will be 40 human years old when it reaches its 5th birthday. From then it will age 5-6 human years for each dog year. At dog age 6 (45 human) it will be a senior, and a geriatric at dog age 10 (66 human years).

The larger dogs, over 90 pounds, age the fastest. By dog age 5 (42 human) they are considered to be seniors, and by dog age 10 (78 human) they are geriatrics. The human age to dog age ratio runs pretty close to the old 7 to 1 standard.

Answer 8

7,they are just a way to compare your human age with you dog age.say your age is 28 and your dog is 4 then its like the dog is the same stage of its full life as your stage.(4 X 7 = 28)

Answer 9

I'm pretty sure 1 dog year is 7 human years. I love dogs!!!!

Answer 10

1 dog year would be less 1/7 of a human year. Because 7 yeras equals one dog year.
