About Pet Age Calculator
What is this tool?
This online tool uses the latest veterinary research to accurately convert your pet's age to human years. For dogs, we utilize the 2020 UCSD scientific formula (logarithmic based), which provides a much more accurate estimation than the old 'multiply by 7' rule. For cats, we follow the life stage guidelines from the AAHA and ISFM.
