How We Calculate Great Dane Age
Unlike the outdated "7 years" rule, our Great Dane age calculator uses breed-specific aging data. Great Danes age rapidly in their first year (equivalent to 12 human years), then 10 human years in year two, and 7 human years for each subsequent year. As a giant dog, Great Danes typically have shorter lifespans but develop more slowly in their first year.
