How it works
Year 1 = 15, year 2 = +9, then +5 per year
Dogs mature fast then slow down. The first year counts as 15 human years, the second adds 9, and each year after adds about 5.

Frequently asked questions
Is one dog year seven human years?
That old rule is too simple; the first years count for much more, which this method reflects.
Does breed matter?
Yes — smaller dogs often live longer, so this is a general estimate.
