Expert Answer

A dog lying still after meals may be sick, overly full, resting, sleepy, or in a bad mood. First, watch for sickness signs like vomiting, diarrhea, fever, coughing, runny nose, or poor appetite; if eating, drinking, and mood are normal, there is usually no need to worry.

Some dogs are simply lazy after meals, resting and ignoring people while digesting. If the dog is moody, spend more time playing to see if it perks up.

Generally, if the dog is inactive along with low appetite and spirit, promptly visit a vet to find the cause.
