Well, dog years are 7 years. So when a dog is 1 year old, in dog years it is 7 years old. For example if you are still confused.....if a dog is 2 years old, since every dog year is 7 years just multiply (Ex. 2X7=14) So if a dog is 2 years old it will be considered 14 years
The old rule-of-thumb that one dog year equals seven years of a human life is not accurate. The ratio is higher with youth and decreases a bit as the dog ages. Depending on breed, a dog experiences the raging hormones of adolescence anywhere from eight months to two years or more. Generally, a dog of six has aged about as much as a 45-year-old human. At 10, she's like a human of 65; at 12, a human of 75; and at 15, a human of 90 and at age 14 a dog would be about 82
This depends on the size of the dog when it is mature (i.e what breed it is). But for all breeds 4 months (human) would be 5-6 years (dog). Up to human year 5, all sizes of breeds age similarly, where they can be considered to be in their mid- 30s in human years, but after that, the scale changes quite a lot according to breed size. Below I've posted 2 URLs that take you to charts showing the ages for the different size of dog - the first is fairly simplified, the second is pretty detailed, but you'll need to know the adult breed average weight for an dog of the type you have to use it.
I guess people started making comparisons between humans and dogs lifespans. The average human lives to around 80 years old. The average for a dog is about 12 human years. Simple calculations show the ratio to be approximately 1:7
Answer 1:It is not true that dogs live seven years for every one of a human. That is but a popular myth. And any source on the net - or your veterinarian - will confirm that fact.And "dog days" refers to the hottest days of the summer, usually between July and September, and has nothing to do with dog or human longevity.Answer 2:No. I'm not sure about dog days but I do know dog years. One of our years equals 7 dog years. So if you have a 1 year old dog: It's 7 years old in dog years. Or if it's two (Like my dog): It's 14 years old, in dog years anyway. Some people don't even care though, going through the process of remembering the seven year thing, and just go by people years and say their dogs live to be about 14. (People who know dog years think this is horrible, considering they think the people only let their dogs live up to 2 human years.)Answer 3:(Note: There may be missing equations, or the equations below might be wrong, but I came up with this list one day think about this very question.):Math for a Dog's Growth, through Dog-a-Day Equations:There are 60 seconds in 1 minute, and 60 minutes in 1 hour, 24 hours in a day, and 30 days a month, 12 months a year. That year containing 365 days. (365, 12, 30, 24, 60, 60) Knowing this, my question became thus:"With a growth pattern of seven to one (7:1), or seven dog years being equal to one human year, what are the number of dog months and days broken-down in relation to a human time-frame?"365 hd / 12 hm = 30.42 human days in one human month.12 hm / 7 dy = 1.71 dog years equal one human month.30.42 hd / 1.71dy = 17.79 human days equal one dog month.365 hd / 7 dy = 52.14 human days equal one dog year.(365hd, 1hy / 7hd, 1hw = 52hw, 1hy)365 hd * 7 dy = 2,555 dog days are in one human year.52.14 hd / 12 hm = 3.45 human days equal one dog week.2555 dd-hy / 3.45 hh-dw = 740.58 dog weeks are in one human year.24 hh / 3.43 dd = 7 human hours equal one dog day.24 hh / 7 hd = 3.43 dog days are in one human day.10.40 dd / 3.45 hd = 3.01 human days equal one dog week.17.79 hd / 1.71 dy = 10.40 dog days equal one dog month.12 hm / 1.71 dy = 7.02 dog months are in one dog year.740.54 dw-hy / 3.01dd-dw = 246.03 dog weeks equal one dog year.7 hh / 24hh = 0.29 of one human hour.7 hh / 3 dd = 2.33 human hours equal one dog day chopped into three sections.KEY:dh = dog hourshh = human hoursdd = dogs dayshd = human daysdw = dog weekhw = human weekdm = dog monthshm = human monthsdy = dog yearshy = human yearsInformation, questions, calculations, and equations compiled by Curtis Lee Cancino© 9-30-09
1 year for us is 7 years for them --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is commonly used as a method of calculating a dog's age, however a more accurate method is by regarding their first year as being like 21 human years (they show all the signs of development in the first year as a 21 year-old human does) and after that, each "human" year represents four years of a dog's life.
Dogs age at 7 years compared to one human year... thus your 12 year old dog would be 84 years old in human years
The dog is 54 years old in human life, an a dog ages 7 years per year to human life.Actually, dogs "turn" 18 (in dog years) on their 1st (human years) birthday. For every year after (human), add five and you'll get your dog's age. So your dog is 18+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5, which equals 73 in dog years.
im not sure about 8 months but there is 7 dog years in one human year (12 months) hope this helps

12 years
They say 7 humans years to 1 dog year so for example if your dog is 1 year old it's 7 in human years. If your dog is 2 years old it's 14 in human years, etc etc etc... However, the conversion is only approximate, and doesn't work well for older dogs. Boxer dogs live between 10-12 years on average and Pitt bulls between 12-15 years on average so anywhere between 10-15 years.
mine is 84 in dog years,12 in human
There is a common perception that 1 human year is equal to 7 dog years, but that is not quite accurate. Dogs reach adulthood in about 2-3 years. A better formula to use is 10.5 human years for the first 2 years of your dog, then 4 dog years per human year for each year after that. So, if your dog is 2 years old in human years, he/she is 21 years old in dog years. If your dog is 3 years old in human years, he/she is 25 years old in dog years.
There are 84 human months in a dog year. Why? Because one year for a human is seven years for a dog. So there are twelve monts in a human month. Therefore, you have to do 12 x 7=84. That is your answer. 84. sorry that's wrong. the facts are kinda right but not the maths. the answer is 12 divided by 7, or 364/7 . the answer is there are 52 days in a dog year.
35 dog years old- if a dog is 1 human year old, the dog is 7 years old in dog years. 7 times 5=35 years old.
depends on the dog breed .. dogs lifestyle and diet really .. my lassie dog (rough collie) died 2 years ago she was 15 .. good age for a dog .. arthritis crippled her in the end and she had to be put to sleep .. worst day of my life that was . if it hadnt been for that she might have lived for til about 17
In actual years he is 11 months or 11/12 years old. The general rule of thumb is that one dog year equals 7 human years, thus he is 6.4 dog years, old. However the ratio is higher with youth and decreases a bit as the dog ages. Depending on breed, a dog experiences the raging hormones of adolescence anywhere from eight months to two years or more. Generally, a dog of six has aged about as much as a 45-year-old human. At 10, she's like a human of 65; at 12, a human of 75; and at 15, a human of 90. From dogyears.com, an average 11 month old dog is roughly equivalent to a 10 year old human
