All the hair contained in a small place is pretty unhealthy...but the forced exercise makes up for it on the health scale, and all the stress they relieve puts them even higher...I say, dogs are very healthy if not terribly sanitary. Who cares about health...we are talking about mans best friend!
But then, the homecooked diets put me on a forced diet of ramen noodles...and that can't be healthy LOL!

No, dogs are clean animals but still require his owner to bathe him a couple times per year. If they are groomed often, they are fantastic pets. I don't know what I'd do without a dog! They give us unconditional love and will make anybody smile, even on the worst of days. People with dogs are generally happier, healthier and some people think that you can live a longer, healthier life if you have a dog.

Why would you think that dogs might be unhealthy to live with?I am 84 years old, and except for three years serving in the military during WW2 , I have always had a dog. If I am healthy , it is because of my dog . He is my best friend; he is my most loyal companion; he forces me to get out of the chair and walk him several times daily which gives me the best form of exercise for a man my age, and he is lovable .

WHAT???
Dogs are not unhealthy, I have met people who scare me more than having a dog. YUCK!
If you house break your dog and keep the yard cleaned up too, you wont have any problems.
I actually had to get rid of my cat when my daughter was born, he would go in his litter box and do some kind of dance, then jump up and get in her crib with those feet he had just stomped all over with in his poo. That was unhealthy!

Dogs are not unhealthy to live with. People are unhealthy, they smoke, they spit, they don't clean up after themselves. Dogs are animals. They follow nature. Nature has its own solutions to such things. Keep things from getting out of hand, and you and your dog will be fine.

It is a proven fact that people with pets (cats or dogs) live longer. No they are not unhealthy to live with, if treated and cared for properly.

Other than allergies or parasites dog's are healthy to live with. They even lower your stress level.
Unfortunately, some people do not understand how much work having a pet is. People who do not keep gardens or places where animals eat, sleep or deficate clean are encouraging bacteria and insect growth.

It's not unhealthy for humans to live with dogs, but it is unhealthy for the dogs to live with humans who don't keep their dogs clean.

I suppose if you don't take care of their health, and don't keep them and your living area clean, then yes, it could become unhealthy.
Only have as many dogs as you can afford to keep healthy, and that you can easily clean up after.
Usually, backyard breeders & animal hoarders are the only ones who end up living in unhealthy conditions, due to too many animals.
