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.

Epigenetic-clock estimate49 human years

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.

  1. 1
    Enter your dog's age
    Use years and months — puppies age very fast, so months matter early on.
  2. 2
    Pick the breed size
    Small, medium, large or giant. Smaller dogs live longer and age more slowly; giant breeds age fastest.
  3. 3
    See the human-age equivalent
    You get the human-years estimate, the life stage (puppy → senior), and the epigenetic-clock estimate for adult dogs.
  4. 4
    Why 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.
