Researchers Have Come Up With a More Accurate Way to Calculate "Dog Years"
You've probably heard that one year is equal to seven dog years . . . but that's not really accurate. Researchers at the University of Georgia came up with a more accurate way to calculate dog years. Dogs age at different rates depending on their SIZE . . . and their aging slows down as they get older. So here are the rules to come up with a SMALL dog's age:
1. The first two years of a small dog's life are each 12-and-a-half dog years.
2. After that, dog years are different by breed. Each year is 4.32 dog years for dachshunds . . . 4.87 dog years for Chihuahuas . . . 5.55 dog years for cocker spaniels . . . and 7.65 dog years for French bulldogs.
3. So an 18-year-old dachshund is really 94 in dog years . . . not 119.
Here are the rules to come up with a MEDIUM dog's age:
1. The first two years of a medium dog's life are each 10-and-a-half dog years.
2. After that, the dog years are different by breed. Each year is 5.74 dog years for Labrador retrievers . . . 5.33 dog years for pit bulls . . . and 13.42 years for bulldogs.
And here are the rules to come up with a BIG dog's age:
1. The first two years of a big dog's life are each nine dog years.
2. After that, each year is 7.84 dog years for German Shepherds . . . and 8.90 years for boxers.
3. So a two-year-old dachshund and a three-year-old German shepherd are both 25 in dog years.
