My 8-month puppy is sleeping more. Is she outgrowing puppyhood?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 8 months and 10 days old

Evie has been sleeping this morning longer than usual. She didn't even wake ME UP this morning! Not lethargic, tail wagging, kisses and stretching a lot but just sleepy. Has she left her puppyhood already? 8 months now. Thank you!

She might just be a little bit extra tired this morning. If it continues than she should be examined by a vet to determine the cause, especially if you notice any lethargy, decreased appetite. vomiting, diarrhea, or fever.
