How Old is My Pet? Correctly Calculate Your Dog or Cat's Age!

Most people think that calculating the age of dogs and cats in "human years" is quite simple: multiply their age by seven. For example, a 4-year-old dog or cat would actually be 28 years old in human years.

My Rottweiler was just 2 months short of her 13th birthday when I had to send her to doggie heaven. That age is extremely old for Rotties, as their lifespan is usually 11 years old at the most.
