The multiply-by-seven folk rule collapses under evidence: dogs reach sexual maturity within months and age non-linearly, while size dramatically changes trajectories. Great Danes earn senior status around six; Chihuahuas routinely double that.
Modern veterinary guidance front-loads early development — a dog's first year approximates fifteen human years of growth — then applies size-weighted annual factors thereafter. Outputs remain informed translations rather than precise biology, useful for vet-visit scheduling expectations.

Dog Age Calculator: Translate your dog's age into human-equivalent years using size-aware science. Formula: year 1 ≈ 15 human yrs, year 2 adds ~9, later years scale by breed-size factor (4. Example: A 5-year-old Labrador (large): 24 + 3 × 6.
