NuVet Plus Reviews : The Truth About Dog Years “How old is your dog?” It’s a common question and you’ve likely answered along the lines of, “He’s 6, or 42 in dog years.” The common perception has been that one human year equals seven dog years, meaning for each calendar year, a dog’s body ages the equivalent of seven. Although this calculation has perpetuated for over half a century, it’s actually a myth.
