Why size belongs in dog age charts
Small and large dogs often age at different rates after maturity, so size makes the estimate more useful than a flat rule.

The chart idea maps dog years to a human-age style estimate and a general life stage such as adult, mature, or senior.
How to use it responsibly
Use the result for planning and understanding, but use veterinary advice for health decisions.
