why do dogs get zoomies you must have
caught your dog chasing ghosts in your
yard or circling at very top speed like
a maniac in your lounge room well first
of all there is no ghost in your yard at
all it is a simple case of dog Zooey's
zoomies our natural behavior which is
known as frenetic random activity period
aka traps where a dog bursts out all of
its energy like a volcano zoomies can be
identified as running in circles
spinning at one spot or taking a lap
around the yard so whenever your dog is
full of energy you can expect it's time
for jimmy's zoomies can be seen at any
age and in any dog breed but the cases
are often seen in young dogs as old dogs
tend to have very little energy compared
to young dogs so you'll see the zoomies
cases most in young dogs instead of
laughing at your dog going wild have you
ever wondered where these zoomies come
from - los angeles-based certified
applied animal behaviorist Jill Goldman
PhD zoomies are the explosion of energy
ie physical energy which has been
captivated inside your dog for a quite
long time the energy can be captured for
two reasons first if your dog is having
very little physical exercise less
mental stimulation or spending too much
time in the crate due to a lack of
exercise and stimulation the energy
stored in a big bubble so when you set
the dog on the loose their brain sends a
signal to their body to just run at the
highest speed to burst a big bubble of
energy and to us it looks like they're
having a good time the other reason is
if your dog is dealing with too much
stress the stress can be of visiting the
vet or a trip to the bathtub you must
have seen dogs doing soomi's right after
you put them out of the bathtub to towel
dry them a question must be arising in
your mind that is zoomy safe for my dog
or not
well Zooey's our natural behavior and
completely safe until and unless there
no obstacle in their way or harm
themselves in the process but if your
dog is engaging in zoomies all the time
then it may be concerning sign of a big
problem if your dog is chasing its tail
or ghost in your backyard very
frequently then consult a certified
applied animal behaviorist or a
veterinary behaviorist to help get to
the bottom of the situation thank you so
