  • The zoomies are a Great Dane’s way of releasing pent-up energy or excitement. They are characterized by short bursts of frantic sprinting, often in circles or figure eights, and potentially even leaping or jumping over objects.
    This wild display is short-lived and usually only lasts 1-2 minutes. Entertaining as this may seem, there are a few things to take into consideration when it comes to zoomies with Great Danes!

    Duke is a 160 pound, 9 year old and still has the zoomies. It’s so fun to watch this old guy sprint around the backyard. Duke lives indoors and he loves to buzz our outside small (70 pound) dogs. He will get up to full speed and run as close as he can by them, as if to say “look at me, how fast I am!”

    The 1st time we took Apollo, who is now 4 years old, to the dog park we almost got sued. LOL
    I can joke about it now but Apollo got the zoomies and he just could not stop himself and he took out this tiny little lady. Just bowled her over like she was nothing. Luckily no one was hurt (much) and she laughed about it. I was so scared that the lady was going to sue us for damages though! Apollo took her down HARD, but then licked her in the face. I think that's what saved us! She couldn't resist his kisses!

    I had a Bassett Hound that got the zoomies at the dog park. She was smaller than average but still managed to take a poor man down when she accidentally ran into the back of his knee. So when I see my great Dane get the zoomies, I stay to the side of my livingroom or make sure something is between us when we're outside.

    Have 3 great danes zooming an once. Occasionally all i can say is weeeee as i fly then land with a thud. Learned never to get down to their face level. Tackle time. My largest will run up steps, fly from bedroom floor to bed and spin in tight circles, then take off running again. As painful as it can be (to me) i love watching them and being right out with them. If only i were youger.

    My 18mo pup had a Zoomie realated accident last week. He zagged when he should of zigged, and the sudden change in direction caused my 60kg puppy to get a spiral fracture in his paw.
    Vets have reccomended 4 weeks rest, no walks no zoomies. To prevent the zoomies, he has been prescribed sedatives to be given with his evening meal (he usually zooms for about 30mins at 2hrs after dinner) I have to say that without his zoomies, he is a bit miserable in the evening.
