I have my puppy that normally is really active,playfull and happy. Today we left her for about 5 or 6 hours with someone at home while we ran errands, we came home and she seemed happy to see us but then when we gave her dinner she didnt seem to be hungry when she normally loves eating her food everyday, then normally after dinner she plays with us and her toys but today she went directly to sleep and she slept for like one hour instead of playing, when she woke up she looked all sad and tired.

How is Pepper doing today? If she is still not herself then I recommend taking her to a veterinarian. She is young and small and puppies can get sick and decline quickly. If she is doing better she may have just been tired if they were playing with her a lot. I hope Pepper is feeling better and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
