Learn about PetAge's mission and vision

Our Story

PetAge was born from a simple idea: helping pet owners better understand their furry friends.

As pet lovers, we deeply understand that every pet is an important member of the family. However, the traditional "1 year = 7 years" calculation method is too simplified and cannot accurately reflect the true state of pets at different life stages.

We believe that through scientific age conversion, pet owners can:

  • Better understand their pet's developmental stages
  • Provide appropriate care for pets at different ages
  • Detect health issues early and seek professional help
  • Build deeper emotional bonds with their pets

This is why we created PetAge - a pet age calculation tool based on the latest scientific research, allowing every pet owner to more accurately understand their furry friends.
