Dog Age Calculator

Convert dog years to human years based on size, plus a DNA-based estimate - all in your browser.

Human Age

Adult
29 human years

Senior years start around 9 for medium breeds.

DNA-Based Estimate

48.6 human years

human ≈ 16 × ln(3) + 31 (UCSD methylation study)

Epigenetic aging is non-linear - dogs mature very fast early, then aging slows down.

Life Stage Timeline

Puppy 0-1 yrs Adult 1-9 yrs Senior 9+ yrs ≈13 yrs typical lifespan
These formulas are approximations. The first dog year counts as 15 human years and the second adds 9 (24 total); after that each year adds 4-7 human years depending on size (AKC guideline). The DNA estimate uses the UCSD methylation formula (16 × ln(age) + 31). Every dog ages differently - consult your vet.
