Life stages and human years
Updated October 22, 2026
Puffy works out your dog's life stage — Puppy, Junior, Adult, Senior and Senior+ — from age and breed size. Large dogs grow up and age faster than small ones.
On the home screen, next to your dog's name and age, is their age in human years. It's an estimate — that's what the "≈" is for.
The stage screen. Tap "Learn more" on the home screen, or open the stage card in Life → Growth. It shows "What's happening now", "What's next" and "What matters now". Tap "Ask Asky about this stage" to ask a question.
The stage changes on its own as your dog grows; you can't pick it by hand. If the date of birth you entered is wrong, write to us: Profile → "Contact support" (help@puffy.pet).
