愛寵人士必看:如何計算狗狗的年齡
Instructions
操作說明
If a dog is a year old, that is the equivalent of 15 in human years (not seven as we always thought).
如果狗是1歲，相當於人的15歲(而不是我們平時知道的7歲)。
When a dog reaches the age of two, he is already approximately 24 in human years (not 14 as commonly believed). But not to worry, read on.
如果狗是2歲，它卻已經相當於人的24歲了(不是一般認爲的14歲)。但別擔心，繼續看。
Add four years to every year after age two. For example, a three-year-old dog is equivalent to 28 in human years; a four-year-old is 32, a five-year-old, 36, a six-year-old, 40—and so on.
狗2歲以後，每過一年加4歲。例如，一條狗3歲相當於人的28歲，4歲相當於人的32歲，5歲相當於人的36歲，6歲相當於人的40歲……以此類推。
Take the dog's size into consideration, since smaller dogs generally have longer life spans than larger dogs, with toy breeds tending to live the longest and giant breeds, the shortest. For example, according to the above method, a six-year-old dog is considered 40 in human years, when in fact a larger dog may actually be closer to 42. However, veterinarians consider this a good general chart to follow for all dogs.
狗的大小也要考慮在內，因爲較小的狗一般比較大的狗的壽命長，而且玩具型犬趨於活的時間最長，而大型犬則最短。比如說，根據上面的規律，一條6歲的狗應該相當於人的40歲，但實際上較大的狗可能接近於42歲。然而，獸醫們認爲這種方法可以作爲狗壽命的總圖表，適用於所有種類的狗。
