Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the pet life calculator?
Our life calculator uses scientifically-based formulas that take into account the different aging rates of various pet species. While no calculator can be 100% accurate for every individual pet, our calculations are based on the latest veterinary research and provide reliable estimates for most pets.
Why do different pets age at different rates?
Different species have different lifespans and aging patterns. For example, smaller animals like hamsters typically have shorter lifespans and age more quickly, while larger animals like horses have longer lifespans and age more slowly. This is due to various biological factors including metabolism, genetics, and evolutionary adaptations.
What does "life stage" mean?
Life stages help categorize where your pet is in their aging process. For example, a puppy is in the "baby" stage, while an older dog might be in the "senior" stage. Understanding your pet's life stage can help you provide appropriate care and anticipate their changing needs.
Can I use this life calculator for any pet?
Our life calculator currently supports dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, fish, and horses. We're constantly working to add more pet types. If your pet isn't listed, the calculator will use a general formula, but results may not be as accurate as species-specific calculations.
