Dog & Cat Age API
Pet-age conversion as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The dog endpoint converts a dog’s age in years to a human-equivalent age three ways: the modern epigenetic model from the 2019 UCSD DNA-methylation study, human = 16·ln(dog_age) + 31 (valid from age 1), which makes a 1-year-old dog about 31, a 4-year-old about 53 and a 10-year-old about 68 human years; the American Kennel Club size-based table for small, medium, large and giant breeds, interpolated between yearly anchor points so a large breed ages faster late in life; and the old ×7 rule of thumb for comparison. The cat endpoint converts a cat’s age, counting 15 human years in the first year, 24 by the second, and four per year after that, so a 10-year-old cat is about 56. Ages are in years and decimals are allowed. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for pet, veterinary, animal-shelter, pet-insurance and lifestyle app developers, dog-years and pet-profile widgets, and fun tools. These are estimates for general guidance, not veterinary advice. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 2 endpoints. This is pet-to-human age; for human body metrics use a BMI or body-fat API.
