Dog age in human years: forget the “× 7” rule
7 October 2026 · 3 min read
The “multiply by 7” rule is wrong: dogs grow up very fast, then age at a pace that depends on their size.
- 1 year ≈ 15 human years
- 2 years ≈ 24 human years
- Then about 4 years per year for small dogs, 5 for medium and 7 for large
💡 Vets recommend a yearly check-up once your dog reaches senior age.
