Let the Dogs Zoom Spring Energy in Shoreline

Shoreline, WALocal News

Aubrey Cook's article sheds light on the joyful phenomenon of "Zoomies" in dogs as spring arrives in Shoreline. As temperatures rise and days lengthen, dogs often exhibit frenetic behavior known scientifically as FRAPs (Frenetic Random Activity Periods). This exuberance is linked to various factors, including new scents from blooming flora and increased neighborhood activity. Veterinarians underscore that such behavior typically signifies a dog's good health, excitement, and comfort in their surroundings. To effectively channel their pets' energy, Cook recommends allowing dogs to engage their sense of smell during walks, incorporating structured play, and varying walking routes.

Planning additional outings can also provide much-needed stimulation and reset their routine. The article encourages pet owners to embrace these joyful moments and appreciate the unique energy that spring brings to their canine companions. Ultimately, it captures the essence of enjoying the season with dogs in Shoreline.
