Why Do Pets Get the ‘Zoomies’? The Science of Sudden Energy Bursts
Have you ever seen your dog or cat suddenly sprint around the house for no apparent reason? These bursts of energy, often called ‘zoomies,’ are actually normal behaviors.
Why Do Pets Get Zoomies?
- Excess Energy Release
Pets, especially young ones, use zoomies to burn off pent-up energy. - Excitement or Stress Relief
Some pets zoom after a bath or when their owners return home. - Natural Instincts
Wild animals use similar bursts of energy to stay agile and alert.
Are Zoomies a Problem?
Zoomies are typically harmless, but they can be risky in small spaces. Make sure your pet has a safe area to run without obstacles. If zoomies seem excessive or aggressive, consider increasing their daily exercise routine.
