How Long Has Your Pet Been With You? – Calculate Pet Days Since Moving In
🧮 Day-X Help · Calculation 7
How many pet days have we already spent together?
Calculation 7 shows you
how many pet days your pet has already
lived with you –
and when the next round pet-day value will be reached.
It is all about the time spent together
since the day your pet came to live with you –
calculated to the exact day.
🧠 How is it calculated?
- People are measured in human days
- Pets are measured in pet days
Since pets usually age faster than humans,
Day-X uses different ageing models (see the “Account” menu).
📋 The pet table contains
16 different pets,
each with their own ageing rate compared to humans.
👤 Select a person and a pet
Now select:
- in the “Person” field: the person
- in the “Pet” field: your pet
No entries yet?
Then click “Add name”.
➕ Add a recipient (if needed)
In the “Add recipient” window
you will find the “Type” field.
There you select:
- Person
- Pet (from the list)
Then enter:
- Name
- Date of birth
- Email address (for people only)
!! IMPORTANT !!
Tick the checkbox:
“I hereby confirm that I am allowed to send messages to this email address.”
Then return to the calculation.
📧 Why is an email address needed?
So that Day-X can automatically send you a surprise message or reminder
on a special pet-day milestone.
📅 Set the relationship date
In the “Relationship date” field enter the date
when your pet came to live with you
(for example the day it moved in, was adopted or collected).
