Like humans, dogs need regular exercise to stay healthy. It's critical to keep them living in fact, because a dog's body is made up of almost pure muscle. Even dogs who have extra fat on them have a base body mass of muscle and this muscle requires exercise to maintain full health.

When your dog is itching constantly, it could mean he/she has allergies, fleas, ticks or other skin problems. Dogs get skin problems just like humans do. The skin can become dry and flaky, or red and irritated, and these problems are compounded if your dog is constantly fighting with fleas and ticks. There are also dog specific skin problems such as mange, which must be treated properly in order to provide the dog relief from these problems.
