How the Shiba Inu ages
The Shiba Inu is a small dog weighing about 17–23 lb, with a typical lifespan of 14–15 years. Like all dogs, the Shiba Inu 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.

Do Shiba Inus age faster than smaller dogs?
Smaller dogs age more slowly after year two and tend to live longer. That's why we adjust the curve by size instead of using ×7.
