About PetLifeCalc
We're dedicated to helping pet owners make informed decisions through accurate calculations and transparent information about pet care costs and life stages.
Our Mission
At PetLifeCalc, we believe every pet deserves the best care possible, and every pet owner deserves transparent, accurate information to make informed decisions. Our mission is to bridge the gap between complex veterinary science and everyday pet ownership through easy-to-use calculators and evidence-based guidance.
We combine veterinary expertise with modern technology to provide breed-specific age calculations, realistic cost estimates, and practical care recommendations that help pet owners plan for their furry family members' entire lives.

Important Notice
PetLifeCalc provides educational tools and estimates based on scientific research and veterinary guidelines. Our calculators are designed to help you plan and budget for pet care, but they should not replace professional veterinary advice.
Always consult with a qualified veterinarian for specific health concerns, treatment decisions, and personalized care recommendations for your pet. Individual pets may have unique needs that differ from general breed characteristics.
