Most people believe that dog years are seven years per human years. Let's say that your dog was born on this exact date last year. If the common belief is indeed true, then your dog, instead of being 1 year old, is 7 years old.

7 years for 1 human year
Dogs age faster than humans. Most experts agree every human year (365 days) a dog ages between 5 and 8 years.
A dog year is the supposed years it takes a dog to mature compared to a human being. One 'dog year' is the equivalent of seven human years.
the rate that dogs age to every 1 of our years. 7 dog years to 1 human year. so if your dog is 2 human years it is 14 in dog years.
dogs lives a life time spam of around 12/18 years.
One year (our time) equals 7 years for a dog. I've also heard that the first year is 14 to them.

This is really a question not so much of the value of the unit as of what is meant by the term "dog year". There is no simple answer, because:
- the relationship between dog ageing and human ageing is not linear
- different breeds of dog have different ageing profiles
- there are two conflicting terminologies.
I agree more with the terminology whereby "X year" means the amount a X ages in a year. Going by this, the first year of a dog's life generally equals around 10 human years, whereas from 2 up each extra dog year equals between 4 (smaller breeds) and 7 (larger breeds) human years. Look up "aging in dogs" on Wikipedia.

∙ 14y agoPeople used to think dogs aged 7 years for every one year a human ages but this has been found to be inaccurate. Dogs age faster when they are under two years and slower when they are over two. Dogs also age at different rates depending on their size and breed. See the dog breed calculator link below to calculate your dog's age. Yes. But a dogs life span in relation to a persons life span is 7 to one. meaning that a dog of 7 years of age is equivalent to a human of age 49.

∙ 15y agoWell... you may not know this, but dogs sniff each others butts and can find out a lot about them. It can tell the other dog how old the dog is and whether it's a female or male. So I would think that they do know about how old they are.

Who came up with dog years?
Like nearly every animal, dogs mature at a different speed. Most dogs die at, say, 10-15 years old (of old age). If you have a 13 year old dog that died of old age, it's not the same as a 13 year old human passing of old age. In dogs, a young adolescent (usually about 15 years in human years) is about 1 year old. A 1 year old human isn't even a preteen! There for, because of these reason, people needed an easier way to calculate dogs' ages. There came dog years!
