Vet Explains Why Dogs Get the 'Zoomies'

Dogs experiencing sudden bursts of high-energy and erratic running, known as the 'zoomies' or FRAPS (Frenetic Random Activity Periods), is a common and normal behavior. These episodes typically occur when dogs have excess energy to burn, after being bathed, during play, or when they are excited. While there is no specific cause for FRAPs, they are believed to be a way for dogs to release pent-up energy or alleviate stress. Owners should ensure their zooming dogs are kept away from potential hazards and provide them with adequate exercise and mental stimulation to prevent frequent or untimely zoomies.
