ℹ️ Same simplified estimates the calculator uses: 15 for year one, +9 for year two, then +4/+5/+6 a year. Real aging varies by breed, genetics and health. Ask your vet about your dog.
Why size matters
Small and large dogs mature at a similar pace early on.
Later, larger breeds tend to age faster. That's why the columns spread apart after year two.
