How the Small breed ages
Small breeds (13–25 lb) Like all dogs, the Small breed 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.

Frequently asked questions
How old is my Small breed in human years?
Enter your Small breed's age above. As a guide, a small dog is about 15 at 1 year, 24 at 2, and 48 by age 8.
Do Small breeds 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.
