How the Boston Terrier ages
The Boston Terrier is a small dog weighing about 12–25 lb, with a typical lifespan of 11–13 years. Like all dogs, the Boston Terrier matures fast early: about 15 human years by age one and 24 by age two, and then ages more gradually after that. A 5-year-old is roughly 36 in human years, and a 10-year-old about 56. This size-adjusted method reflects how small dogs actually age, rather than the flat "multiply by seven" rule, which overstates the age of young pets and understates senior large breeds.
