Well TeamDogs has done some digging to find out what triggers our dogs to burst into a fit of sudden zoomies. According to Petplan , zoomies, which are also known as FRAP (Frenetic Random Activity Period) attacks, are random bursts of high activity and energy that usually dont last long. Owners tend to see a theme to the behaviour, either noticing a bout of zoomies around the same time every day or as part of some other regular routine. The behaviour is usually outgrown, but you may still get an episode of the zoomies from time to time  Zoomies before bed  (Image: Getty Images)      Many pet owners observe puppy zoomies before bed, this is likely due to pent up energy that your puppy is trying to release before settling down for sleep.

This adrenaline rush may be a combination of many factors from relief to simply trying to dry off.

Nutrition and behaviour expert and host of A Dogs Life podcast, Anna Webb said: Zoomies is the term for when a dog simply zooms around full of the joys of life! Normally these are puppies that may display a Zoomie after a walk as its the excitement of absorbing the experience. A Zoomie is a perfect opportunity to join in with a toy and turn it into a mutually beneficial / bonding exercise where the joys of a pet parent comes into its own. Dogs are fun loving so tapping into having fun together with proactive play always pays dividends!
