A dog age in its own years is the same calendar arithmetic as a person. The human-equivalent conversion is a separate step and depends heavily on size — a Great Dane at seven is elderly while a Chihuahua is middle-aged.

How to work out a dog age

1 Enter the date of birth, or the best estimate from a rescue.
2 Read the exact age in years, months and days.
3 Use the dog years calculator to convert to human terms by size.
4 Weeks and months are the useful units for a puppy.

Rescue dogs rarely come with a date of birth, and the estimate usually comes from teeth. Puppies have a predictable dental timeline that gives an age to within weeks up to about seven months; after that, wear and tartar give only a rough band, and a vet estimate of "three to five years" is genuinely as precise as it gets. Recording an approximate birth date and sticking to it is more useful than re-estimating.

Questions

From its date of birth, the same as any age. Converting to human years is a separate step.
