Answer 1

Fleas

Answer 2

yes insects bit dogs the same as every other mammal on the planet...... Sounds like your dog has fleas.... I'm guessing that since you don't know about Fleas then you haven't thought about worms either (usually the two go together), You can get powers and collars from pet stores for fleas, but I would suggest a monthly spot type treatment like Front line, or if you don't have your dog wormed either then Stronghold will also help you with all bar one common worm. I strongly recomend you take your dog to a vet and get some advice on fleas and worms so that he can be a happy pup all the time

Just be vigilent though, and it shouldn't bee too much of a problem.
