    Hi, excellent site,
    My fourteen week lab puppy always seems to get the zoomies directly after feeding. She has 4 meals a day, and zoomies are usually worse after the last 2 each day.
    All advise out there is don't exercise your dog / pup for an hour after feeding because of the risk of bloat, but she is crazy after eating which I can't seem to stop till she has burned some energy off.
    Any advice appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I don't understand the connection between the last two meals and FRAP. Can you think about what is different other than the last two meals? Are you exercising her less at night when the last two meals are given followed by the FRAP?

    In the interest of getting a little more release of pent up energy, I wonder whether you are feeding her for doing nothing, especially for the last two meals. If so, spread the food around so that she has to find it. Or use the food as a reward for automatically checking in. Coming towards you. Let' us know whether that helps.
