Скачать или смотреть The 7-Year Dog Myth: Why Everything You’ve Heard About Dog Ageing Is Wrong

In this clip from The Consult Room podcast, veterinary surgeon Dr Paul Manktelow breaks down one of the most persistent myths in pet care - the idea that one dog year equals seven human years.

Using up-to-date science, Paul explains why the 7-year rule simply doesn’t work and shows how dogs age at very different rates depending on their size and life stage.

He outlines the more accurate way to calculate a dog’s “human age”:
🐶 Year 1 ≈ 15 human years
🐶 Year 2 ≈ +9 human years
🐶 After that:

+4 human years per dog year for small breeds

+5 for medium breeds

+6-7 for large and giant breeds

Understanding your dog’s true age can help you spot when they’re entering new life stages, when health checks should increase, and how to give them the best care as they grow older.
