Dog years: The calculator

[IF]

Working out your dog's true age used to be a case of simply multiplying it by seven. But it's more complicated than that, and here's a handy calculator to do it for you.
A recent Magazine feature explained that:

• Different breeds of dog age at varying speeds
• Dogs age at varying speeds at different stages of their lives

With that in mind, we've built a calculator for you to work out your dog's true age - its age in "dog years".
Alternatively, you can find out how old you would be if you were a dog. You can choose to be a labrador, a spaniel, a whippet, or any one of 20 breeds.

Re: Dog years: The calculator

I don't know if I did the calculator thing correctly but it says that if I was a Beagle (random choice of breed ) I would be 9 years 3 months old with a life expectancy of only 12 years so I've not got long to go

I think you did do it right.......nearly all the calculations for all breeds give a life expectancy of 12.5 years only!!
