Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn't dog age just "× 7"?
The "× 7" rule is a 1950s rough estimate. UC San Diego 2020 research showed dog aging is logarithmic, not linear. Formula: human age = 16 × ln(dog age) + 31.
How is cat age calculated?
Cat standard: Year 1 = 15 years, Year 2 = 24 years, then +4 per year.
Do different dog sizes age the same?
No. Large breeds (> 25 kg) age faster, lifespan 8–10 years. Small breeds can live 14–16 years. We adjust for size.
My puppy is 6 months old, how to calculate?
Set "Age" to 0 and "Extra months" to 6. Puppy aging is handled separately (non-linear).
How are life stages categorized?
Puppy/Kitten (< 1 yr), Young Adult (1–3), Adult (3–7), Senior (7–10), Geriatric (> 10). Common veterinary standard.
