| When are dogs considered adult? senior? Just curious, really. At what age do most consider a puppy no longer a puppy, but an adult dog? What age do most consider a senior dog? I have too much free time today & this popped in my head so I had to ask!

| Thanks. I can file that in my knowledge box now. I think Lulu will always seem like a puppy to me.

| I think 7 years is considered a senior. My baby has always been puppy-like and mischievious until this past year. Now he is slowing down and it's sad. |
