Question 1

How accurate is the dog lifespan predictor?

Accepted Answer

Our predictor uses scientific data from veterinary studies including RVC and Dogs Trust research on 155+ dog breeds. While no predictor can guarantee exact lifespans, our tool provides scientifically-grounded estimates based on breed, age, body condition, exercise, and dental health factors.

Question 2

What factors affect my dog's lifespan?

Accepted Answer

Key factors include breed genetics, body condition (maintaining ideal weight can add up to 1.8 years), dental health (regular care can add up to 1 year), daily exercise, and whether your dog is spayed/neutered.

Question 3

How is biological age calculated?

Accepted Answer

We use the DNA methylation-based formula that correlates dog years to human-equivalent age, accounting for the non-linear aging curve where dogs age faster in their early years.
