Pet Age in Human Years

Pet age in human years contextualises a cat or dog's developmental stage. The "1 dog year = 7 human years" is a simplification — the true conversion is non-linear.

1. 1Dogs age faster in the first 2 years, slower later
2. 2Year 1 ≈ 10–15 human years; Year 2 ≈ 8–10 more
3. 3After year 2: ~4–5 human years per dog year (medium breeds)
4. 4Cats: year 1 ≈ 15; year 2 ≈ 9 more; each year after ≈ 4
