My dog is suddenly a picky eater and seems tired. Should I be concerned?

Question

Lately my dog has been particularly picky about certain food items, more so than usual. For example I bought some bone broth for her and she didn't like it and wouldn't eat it. She also always loves the occasional puppy patty at McDonald's and she seemed hesitant to eat when I gave it to her. She is eating and drinking normally. But she seems slightly more tired, although she did just get back from a weekend trip. Should I be concerned? When should I contact my vet? her bowel movements are ok.

As long as Chloe is still eating her regular meals I think you can continue to monitor her appetite - some dogs can go through phases where they seem picky. If she is vomiting or having diarrhea while also acting disinterested in food you should see your vet. If she continues to act picky and lethargic and your gut tells you something is wrong the safest thing to do is to see your vet.
