Many families now have dogs. Nowadays, dogs are not only pets, but more people treat dogs as family members. Of course, to us, the lifespan of a dog’s “family” seems a bit short. Usually, a dog’s lifespan is only about 13 years old, which is only one-fifth of our human lifespan. Our dog-raising policies need to change at every age so that dogs can live longer. So how to convert the dog's age to our age? Let's take a look with the editor~
Generally speaking, a 12-month-old dog is equivalent to 15 human years, and a dog's 2-year-old is equivalent to 24 human years, and every year after that is equivalent to 5 human years. This algorithm is relatively reliable, and it is more scientific than directly multiplying by 7.
Dogs can reproduce to the next generation at the age of 1. Dogs at the age of three have already begun to enter middle age. Among them, large dogs age faster than small dogs. The specific reason is currently unknown. For example, a Great Dane weighing 70 kilograms can live 7 years, but a Poodle weighing 4 kilograms can live 14 years. Therefore, it is concluded that for every 2 kilograms more than the average dog weight, life expectancy will be shortened by approximately one month. The life of a dog is not long, it will only last about ten years if there are no accidents, and dogs with a life span of more than ten years will be loyal to their owners throughout their lives. So since you have a dog, you should treat it well during the limited period of more than ten years.
