‘Dog years’ just a myth: New formula shows us how old Fido really is in human years – Study Finds
The researchers worked with dog genetics experts to examine the blood of 105 Labrador retrievers. Their work has created a new scale which shows a one-year-old dog s genes are already closer to a 30-year-old human. As a dog s aging starts to slow, a four-year-old pup is similar to a 52-year-old person. By the time a dog is in their teens, they re closer to a 70-year-old person instead of a 100-year-old like the old system suggests.
