Animal Years Vs Human Years

In the animal world, age is more than just a number!

Many of us grew up being taught that one dog year equals seven human years. So, if your dog is five years old, he is the equivalent of a 35-year-old human. This theory is still extremely popular, but in truth, it’s far from accurate. A dog’s human age is influenced by factors such as size, and there are even differences between different species of animals! We take a look at the real ages of animals.

How old is my pet?

Are you curious about how old your pet may be in human years? Other than satisfying a mild curiosity, an idea of an animal’s age can help you to understand behaviours and what you can expect of him. You can also make adjustments to some things, such as food and healthcare, as natural changes occur throughout the pet’s different life phases.
