September 30, 2025
Do you notice some changes in your dog? Maybe they are gaining weight or seem to be chewing up more items around the house. There are a lot of reasons for these and other changes in your dog. When it comes to exercise, some dog breeds need more than others. Some dogs like border collies, Dalmatians, fox terriers, and Boston terriers are high-energy dogs that need a large amount of exercise to keep them healthy. Alternatively, other dogs such as Basset hounds, Maltese, Saint Bernards, and Great Danes don't need as much exercise as other breeds. Of course, every dog breed needs some amount of exercise just as all humans require exercise.
