狗狗年齡等於人的7倍?

Are dogs 7 times as old as humans?

Many people believe that a dog's age is simply a human's age multiplied by 7, but you're wrong!

The idea that a dog's age is multiplied by 7 is not accurate.

In fact, dogs develop much faster than humans before they are 2 years old. Most of a dog's organs are nearly fully developed by the age of 1, which is roughly equivalent to a human being around 15 years old.

And in the following days, the aging speed of dogs is relatively slow. Different dog breeds have different growth rates. The growth rates also vary depending on the breed, size, and stage of development.

Generally speaking, small dogs have a longer lifespan, and their growth rate as puppies is faster than that of large dogs, with some saying it is completed in about 9 months.

If you are unsure of your dog's age, you can estimate it from the condition of its teeth. Here are the approximate guidelines for estimating a dog's age based on its teeth:

2 months: All baby teeth are present.
7 months: Permanent teeth are present, white, and still a bit sharp.
1-2 years: Teeth become dull but remain white.
3-5 years: All teeth may show signs of wear.
5-10 years: More wear on teeth or signs of dental disease.
10-15 years: Teeth are worn or missing, and there is likely to be a lot of tartar.

P.S. Also check if the dog has had dental care. If you want a more accurate assessment, the veterinarian can estimate it through a comprehensive examination, including the condition of the bones, joints, muscles, and internal organs.

The aging condition of dogs after they get older

When a dog's eyes become cloudy, white hair appears on its chest, face, head, or other parts of its body, its skin becomes loose, or its joints start to stiffen, it means the dog is getting old. If your dog has the above-mentioned conditions, you need to pay more attention to its health care!

Feeding raw meat bones slows down aging.

Aging is something all animals cannot avoid. If you don't want your dog to age prematurely, the simplest way is to start with their diet. Dogs are carnivorous animals, so of course, eating meat is the best!

Dogs that eat raw meat and bones can absorb them more easily, have better digestive health, and their energy and vitality will improve. They will appear less aged and look younger.

And dog food, including natural food, contains high carbohydrates and questionable ingredients.It puts a heavy burden on the dog's digestive system, and their immunity and skin condition will worsen!Many tear stains and yeast skin problems are caused by high carbohydrates!
