What 11 years means for a dog
A 11-year-old dog is about 60 to 86 in human years. A small dog comes out at 60 and a giant dog at 86. If you're not sure which size your dog counts as, medium (21 to 50 lb or 10 to 23 kg) is a fair middle guide, at 65.
Bigger dogs age faster after the first two years, which is why the numbers spread out as dogs get older. The life stage shown above is for a medium dog.
