My puppy is eating less but acting normal. Should I be worried about him?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Male | neutered | 3 months and 3 days old | 60 lbs

My 3 1/2 month puppy has been eating a little less than normal probably around a cup less than he normally does but he’s been acting completely fine otherwise. Going poop and pee like normal, drinking normal, and acting like a puppy should. Should I be worried?

Hi, if he is eating a bit less I would not worry but just monitor him closely. Check his feaces and urine, and that he is playful as useful. I would not change his diet, but give him a few days to see if he goes back to his normal appetite. Hope this helps !
