One common nomenclature uses "human years" to represent a strict calendar basis (365 days) and a "dog year" to be the equivalent portion of a dog's lifetime, as a calendar year would be for a human being. Under this system, a 6-year-old dog would be described as having an age of 6 human years or 40–50 (depending on the breed) dog years.
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. Each additional year of the dog’s life is then ...
This is supported by studies showing that as cats age from 2 years to approximately 11.5 years of age their energy requirements decrease. [12] Weight gain will occur if calories from the diet do not decrease with the animal's energy requirements. [12] Obesity in pets is usually due to excessive food intake or lack of physical exercise.

The findings, published recently in the journal Cell Systems, calculate that a 5-year-old dog would be pushing 60 in human years. How old is your dog? New equation shows how to calculate its age
From time of weaning until the puppy reaches 40% of the adult body weight, the optimal energy intake per unit body weight is twice that of an adult dog of the same breed. [7] From 40% to 80% of adult body weight, energy requirements decrease to 1.6 times the adult requirement, and from 80% to the end of growth, this decreases further to 1.2 ...

It is among the smallest of the terriers and indeed of all dog breeds, with a weight of no more than 3.2 kg (7 lb). [1] It originated in the nineteenth century in the English county of Yorkshire, after which it is named. [2]
If a dog carries wild type alleles at all three loci, the dog will have a yellow coat. If a dog has a loss-of-function mutation at MC1R, it will also have a yellow coat, regardless of the genotypes at the other two loci. Dogs carrying wild-type alleles for MC1R and Agouti, together with the black allele of CBD103, will have a black coat. [17] [a]
