Answer

Post-walk zoomies, or Frenetic Random Activity Periods (FRAPs), are quite common in puppies and young dogs. They often occur when your puppy is over-stimulated or has a burst of pent-up energy released after an activity. It's usually a normal way for them to discharge excitement. Ensure they have appropriate outlets for their energy throughout the day, like playtime and training. If the zoomies are accompanied by destructive behavior or seem excessive, it might be worth reviewing their daily routine and possibly increasing mental stimulation. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
