How We Calculate Golden Retriever Age
Unlike the outdated "7 years" rule, our Golden Retriever age calculator uses breed-specific aging data. Golden Retrievers age rapidly in their first year (equivalent to 15 human years), then 9 human years in year two, and 5 human years for each subsequent year. As a large dog, Golden Retrievers typically have shorter lifespans but develop more slowly in their first year.
