  1. Convert Dog's age (years) to the base unit, Human age (years) (human yr)

    human yr = 24 + (dog yr − 2) × 5

    24 + (3 − 2) × 5 = 29 human yr

How it works

Year 1 = 15 human years · year 2 = +9 · each year after = +5

Rule of thumb for a medium-sized dog (AVMA guidance). Small dogs age slower and giant breeds faster. Not veterinary advice.
