That is how they use to figure it! This is the new formula they are teaching vets*
It is a common belief that 1 human year is equal to 7 dog years. That is not very accurate, since dogs reach adulthood within the first couple of years.
The formula is: 10.5 dog years per human year for the first 2 years, then 4 dog years per human year for each year after.

They did like the averages. Average human years devided by agerage lifespan of a dog.

It doesn't make sense to me. My pup is just one year old now, and he certainly doesn't act like he is 7!
