The ages of the dog, puppy, adult and senior dog

We can divide the dog's life into three distinct periods: the first goes from birth to 12 months, the second period goes from 12 months to 8-9 years and finally the third period that ends the dog's existence. whose average duration varies around 14 years.

The FIRST period is called growth period and is divided into two phases: childhood and adolescence.

During infancy, from birth to 5-6 months, the dog replaces milk teeth; it is during adolescence the dog continues to grow albeit much more slowly and reaches puberty.

In the SECOND period it acquires its definitive stature, develops vigor and resistance: the dog is defined as an adult.

In the THIRD period, called old age, the dog begins its deterioration which will last until the end of its existence.
