Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q. Is 1 dog year really equal to 7 human years?
No, that is a common myth. Dogs mature much faster in their first year (reaching about 15 human years). After the second year, the aging rate depends heavily on their breed size.
Q. How do cats age compared to humans?
A 1-year-old cat is roughly 15 human years old. A 2-year-old cat is 24 human years old. After that, each calendar year adds about 4 human years to a cat's age.
