Dog Food Choice

Hi Rosie

Here is a site that will give you quite accurate information
regarding dog ages versus humans.

I thought my 10 yr-old wire-haired dachshund was around human 70

but as you can see from this list - because of her size - she is
actually only 56 and considered a senior.

that 's all I can help you with....

Kind regards,

Christina H
