How it works (expand)

Classic 7×: Dog years = human years × 7 (applies to months proportionally).

Veterinary 15/9/5: First year ≈ 15, second year ≈ 9, and every human year after ≈ 5. We pro-rate months within each band (0–12, 12–24, 24+ months).

Size-adjusted: First 2 human years follow 15 + 9. After human age 2, each human year adds ~4 dog years (small), 5 (medium), or 6 (large). Months are pro-rated.
