DOG'S AGE COMPARED TO MAN'S "By Bob Bartos, Manager Friskies Pet Foods Research Center Figuring Fido’s age in terms of human years has always: been considered a mere matter of multiplying his years by seven. According to this formula, if your pet is two years old, he’s the equivalent of a fourteen- -year old human. Yet he’s expected to dct considerably more ma- ture-than a teenager. Recently scientists have com€ up with a much more realistic ratio. With the new formula, the year-old dog corresponds in development ‘to a 16-year old human. From there the gap begins to nar- row, It’s 2 years against 24, 3 years against 35. After that each: human year is equiva- lent*to 5 dog years. While this your dog into his’ fifties faster than the old one, it slows his aging down when he reaches formula gets the crucial sixties. The 12- year: old, for example, will be ‘a spry 75 instead of a tottering 84. I ’s not only a new formu- la, showever, that's knocking years off your dog’s life. Im- proved, veterinary care is the chiéf factor. Many common canthe diseases that formerly were fatal can now be pre- vented by vaccination. ners, too, can claim their fair share of responsi- bility for the longer lives of their pets. They're giving them better care and feeding th prepared dog foods: scientifically formulated to meet the dog’s every nutri- tiomal need.
