Hi, with this app you can convert your pet's years to human years and better understand its development.
This application is based on algorithms that have a scientific basis, in particular the section concerning the dog uses the result obtained by the researchers of the University of California who have developed a precise formula to calculate the age of dogs, in human years through the calculation of the natural logarithm of the inherent age.
The convention according to which 1 dog year = 7 human years is wrong; The research team found that there are periods in the life of dogs when the clock does not correspond to that of humans, especially during puberty as they mature earlier than us :)
The formula examines the variations of DNA over time, in particular the "methyl groups", which are molecules that are added to the DNA at a constant rate throughout the life of the animal. They are used to measure age in dogs, but also in humans, in a process known as the epigenetic clock.
