Dog Age Calculator
Free AppAbout Dog Age Calculator
Working out your dog's true age used to be a case of simply multiplying it by seven. But it's more complicated than that, and here's a handy calculator to do it for you.
A recent Magazine feature explained that:
Different breeds of dog age at varying speeds
Dogs age at varying speeds at different stages of their lives
With that in mind, we've built a calculator for you to work out your dog's true age - its age in "dog years".
Alternatively, you can find out how old you would be if you were a dog. You can choose to be a labrador, a spaniel, a whippet, or any one of 20 breeds.
The calculator uses these multipliers for the first two years of a dog's life:
12.5 for small dogs
10.5 for medium-sized dogs
9 for large dogs
Then, for the third and subsequent years of the dog's life, each human year has to be multiplied by between 4.3 and 13.4 years, depending on the breed:
Small: Dachshund (Miniature) 4.32, Border Terrier 4.47, Lhasa Apso 4.49, Shih Tzu 4.78, Whippet Medium 5.30, Chihuahua 4.87, West Highland White Terrier 4.96, Beagle 5.20, Miniature Schnauzer 5.46, Spaniel (Cocker) 5.55, Cavalier King Charles 5.77, Pug 5.95, French Bulldog 7.65
Medium: Spaniel 5.46, Retriever (Labrador) 5.74, Golden Retriever 5.74, Staffordshire Bull Terrier 5.33, Bulldog 13.42
Large: German Shepherd 7.84, Boxer 8.90
The calculator does not work for cross breeds, sadly, but on average these live 1.22 years longer than pure breeds, according to Dan O'Neill (from Petts Wood in London...) who is researching the subject for a PhD at the Royal Veterinary College.

Why show a picture of a Rottweiler if your app doesn't include it! I'm suing to get my money back!...... Oh ya. It was free. But that's good cause if I lose I still get the same amount of money back!

This wasn't what I'm looking for. There's an app for iTunes where you enter the birth date of your pet a photo, name. Then every time I open the app it automatically tells me the age of my dog.

I don't know why this app is getting such low ratings. The app told me that my Chihuahua is 18 years old in dog years. Really helpful.

Since when does a Mini Schnauzer only live approx 11 yrs?? Everywhere else says 15 yrs, I've had 2 and they both lived a LOT longer than 11 yrs. Plus you didn't have many breeds to select from, didn't have either of my dog's breeds: Affenpinscher or American Bulldog.
