My goldendoodle who is 1 yr and 9 months has a sore under her lip, should I be concerned? Doesn't seem to bother her and isn't sensitive to touch.

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
From the photo (thanks for attaching one!) it mostly looks like irritation. This could be from chewing a toy, her bowls, etc. It does not seem to be a truly pressing matter-and especially so if it does not bother her.
However-if it persists or worsens, I would try calling your local vet to see if they can take a look or prescribe you some antibiotic ointment to help clear the area of secondary bacterial infection. I hope this helps and puts you at ease!
