How long is a hour in dog years?

Answer 1

The general rule of thumb is seven dog years for one human year.

However, this is only a general guide. In the early years of a dog's life, one human year equals more than 7 dog years, because dogs reach adulthood much quicker.

As the dog ages, the equivalent human years are fewer.

A better way to calculate is that, for the dog's first two years of life, each human year equals 10.5 dog years, and after that it is closer to 1 human year = 4 dog years.

Answer 2

It is hard to believe that one hour for every dog is 7 seconds. It may sound impossible but it is, this is why every year (for a dog) is 7 years!
