 DOG AGE - How old is your dog in human years? |
Generally, big dogs age faster than small ones. For example, a six year-old dog weighing less than 20 pounds is the equivalent of a 40-year-old person, but a six-year-old dog weighing more than 120 pounds is the equivalent of a 69-year-old. William Fortney, DVM, a veterinarian and director of community care at Kansas State University School of Medicine, devised the following chart.
