Life Stages

From puppyhood to old age, dogs go through many of the same life changes as humans.

 

Maturity

Although some dogs don't become emotionally mature until they are almost 3 years old, most reach adulthood at 18 to 24 months. Among domestic breeds, the aging process varies widely, usually depending on the dog's size.

Dog Years Vs. Humar Years

Depending on the breed, dogs can live an average of 10 to 15 years or more and with an improved understanding of veterinary medicine, dogs are living healthier and longer lives. Like humans, as dogs progress from youth to later years, they go through physical and emotional changes. Each stage has its own uniqueness and importance and the ability to recognize and accept these changes makes the human-dog bond even more special
