I have a 13 week old boxer who is pretty tame and loving. Today she has slept a little more than usual and hasn’t been as playful .. should this be concerning? She just had a vet check on 2/2

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and congratulations on your new pet! It is okay for Georgia to have days/times when she is a little more quiet. You should have her seen by a vet if this becomes more severe, or she has a loss of appetite, diarrhea, or vomiting. I hope all is well!
