Forever you've heard that 7 dog years = 1 human year. But more and more studies are being performed that are finding that old rule not accurate.

Just like humans, dogs age at different rates, that are oftentimes very different than their biological age.

"They have the body of a 70 year old smoker".

What Is My Dog's REAL Age?

After reading more and more about aging differences in dogs, we decided to try and answer that question as best we could, for as many people and situations as possible.

We combed the internet, reading study after study from top rated universities and research institutes (National Institute of Health, Royal Vetinary College, University of Georgia, University of Alabama, Dog Aging Project, etc).

From their situational data, and as much breed-specific aging information as we could find, we built out this quiz - the Dog Real Age quiz.

Based on a number of lifestyle and health factors, we try to calculate your dog's real age compared to their biological one.

No, it's not 100% foolproof (nor is any quiz on the internet), but hopefully it'll give you some insights as to what areas of aging are most affecting your dog, and show you ways to help them in that area.
