The formula was likely based on the fact that while most humans get to live until they’re 70, dogs live on for an average of 10 years. However, this rule doesn’t always offer reliable results. The dog’s size and breed play an important part in their life expectancy, with smaller breeds usually living longer than larger breeds. Larger breeds live shorter lives, so they mature more quickly.
Large and giant breeds are usually considered to be ‘seniors’ by the time they’re five, while medium-sized dogs won’t reach old age until they’re seven. Small and toy breeds reach seniority around the age of 10.
According to the UK Kennel Club, the general guidelines for determining how old a dog is are the following: The first two years of a small dog’s life is roughly the same as 12.5 human years, while it’s 10.5 for a medium dog and nine for large dogs.

A 13-year-old dog is 68 human years old if it is a small breed, 74 human years old if it is a medium breed, and 82 human years old if it is a large breed.
The general rule to follow is that your dog ages 15 human years in year one, 9 years in year two, and 5 years thereafter.
While the table gives you a more accurate indicator of how old your dog is in human years, you may prefer a less accurate but more straightforward method.

Unfortunately, researchers still don’t know why larger breeds of dog tend to age faster than smaller breeds.
Older dogs tend to age much more rapidly in their final years, while smaller dogs tend to decline more steadily.

Small - up to 9kg 13 years = 68 human years
Medium - 9 to 23 kg 13 years = 74 human years
Large - 23 to 40 kg 13 years = 82 human years
Very Large - over 40 kg 13 years = 101 human years
