After every bath, my dog runs around like crazy, jumping on furniture and zooming around the house. Is this normal behavior, and why does it happen?

The “zoomies” after a bath are very common and have a few explanations. First, your dog may be releasing pent-up energy or stress from the bathing process. Some dogs also dislike being wet and are trying to dry off as quickly as possible by rubbing against furniture or running. Additionally, they might just feel invigorated after being cleaned! To manage this, let your dog safely burn off the energy in a secure area—it’s harmless and even good exercise.
