  • 1.  How do you Convert a Dog's Age to Human Years using Math?

    Posted 01-19-2024 02:08 PM

    I am trying to run a little fun marketing thing for my dog adoption program that tells the adopters how old a certain dog is in people's years. And while I did find some good converters online such as this Dog Age Calculator I was wondering if there is a more simpler formula that can be used for all dogs in general. It would have to be a little more accurate and advanced than the 7 years rule though as I'm not sure that's very accurate. It would have to apply for all dog breeds and sizes though as I don't want it to be too complicated.

    Thank you

    Hello,

    I do believe there is a more advanced formula. I think it uses logs or something though.
