ANSWER:

Metabolism is the bodies rate of burning calories. If you run twenty miles a day your metabolism will be high; you will be burning a lot of calories. If you sit on the couch all day your metabolism will be low and you will not burn very many calories. Food intake needs to be adjusted accordingly. Some have a naturally higher metabolism than others but any animals metabolism can be increased by more exercise. The rate of metabolism does drop with age; a older dog will naturally have a lower rate of metabolism than a puppy.
