19 Cute Canine Ways to Call Your Doggo's “Zoomies” From Around the World

Ah, zoomies. Although our languages may be different, every dog owner knows what happens when your puppy (or dog) gets a sudden burst of energy from 6 - 8 PM. When they're puppies, we call this time the "witching hour", where your puppy becomes possessed by the Energizer Bunny and doesn't know what to do with all that energy. They sprint through the house, bite everything in sight, and push your patience to the limit. And this isn't just limited to puppies, heck, our doggo at now almost 3 years old gets the zoomies every once in a while. We'll be walking, and suddenly she'll just take off at the speed of light, running in circles, destroying any stick she can find, and then moving on to her next victim. 

Although we here in the United States know this action as "zoomies", we realized that the action is universal, but what about the word? Does every country call their pet's energy explosions zoomies, or do they have their own term for it? Well, it turns out a lot of them do! So now, when you go to another country and see a dog with the zoomies, you'll be pawfectly prepared to use the correct term for the canine's cuteness. Even if you're not much of a traveler, these facts are still just cool to know as a dog lover!
