Although humans live approximately seven times as long as most dogs, the old seven dog years to one human year is no longer applicable. It’s easy to see that a six month old puppy is much more in
control of its life than a six month old human baby. Dogs reach peak maturity quickly and slow down, while humans age at a much slower pace. Which means that at age three, you’re looking at a dog who’s all grown up by human standards. The
new accepted comparisons of ages between dogs and humans are now as follows:
