About Dog and cat age calculator

Convert a dog's or cat's age to human years. The old rule of multiplying by seven is crude. Dogs age faster early on, and size matters, with large breeds aging faster later. A one-year-old cat is roughly like a 15-year-old human, and each following year adds about four.

How to use Dog and cat age calculator

  1. Choose dog or cat.
  2. Enter your pet's age and, for dogs, its size if asked.
  3. Read the equivalent age in human years.
