1. How accurate is the Dog Age Calculator?
The calculator uses the widely accepted formula from veterinary science but may vary slightly based on breed and size. Small dogs generally age slower than large breeds.
2. Why do small and large dogs age differently?
Large dogs mature faster biologically - their cells divide quicker which accelerates aging. Small breeds often live longer due to slower metabolic rates.
