Free Dog Age Calculator
Convert your dog's age to human years with science-based methods (AKC size model + the 2019 epigenetic clock) instead of the inaccurate ×7 rule — with breed size and life stage. Private and free.
Convert your dog's age into human years using science-based methods — not the old ×7 myth. Everything is calculated privately in your browser.
Typical adult weight: small < 10 kg · medium 10–25 kg · large 25–45 kg · giant > 45 kg.
Share of a typical ~12-year lifespan for this size class — an average, not a prediction.
From the 2019 DNA-methylation study (16 × ln(age) + 31), most accurate for adult dogs.
💡 Forget “1 dog year = 7 human years” — dogs age fast in their first two years, then more slowly, and size matters.

How It Works
Converts your dog's age into human years using two science-based methods instead of the inaccurate "multiply by 7" rule. The AKC size-based model counts about 15 human years for the first year, 9 for the second, then a per-year amount that depends on breed size; the 2019 epigenetic-clock formula (16·ln(age) + 31) is shown for adult dogs. Everything is computed in your browser.
- 1Enter your dog's ageUse years and months — puppies age very fast, so months matter early on.
- 2Pick the breed sizeSmall, medium, large or giant. Smaller dogs live longer and age more slowly; giant breeds age fastest.
- 3See the human-age equivalentYou get the human-years estimate, the life stage (puppy → senior), and the epigenetic-clock estimate for adult dogs.
- 4Why not ×7?Dogs mature quickly in their first two years and then age more gradually, so a flat multiplier is wrong — especially for puppies and large breeds.
