My dog gets tired fast after playing. Is she okay or too hot?

Question

My dog isn’t lethargic by any means. She’s playful, eating somewhat normal (she’s picky) and drinking fine but for a few weeks now I’ve noticed she’ll fetch a few times and then she wants to go to sleep. i don’t know if she is just getting bored or if this is a serious issue. Maybe just the summer weather? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 6 months old | 10.6 lbs

If it's quite hot where you are, that can explain why Snowball isn't playing as much as usual. That would be a good thing, as playing too much in the heat will lead to heat stroke, which is too often fatal. I would keep an eye on her, and make sure she stays as cool as possible. If this behavior does continue, a check up with the vet to be safe would be recommended. I hope this helps!
