Maintaining Your Dog's Anal Gland Health

Many dog owners miss the signs that their pets need anal gland expression. Knowing these signals helps you address the problem before it becomes painful or causes infection. Here are common indicators your dog might need anal gland expression:

• Scooting or dragging their bottom across the floor
• Excessive licking or biting at their rear end
• Strong, fishy odor coming from your dog
• Visible swelling near the anus
• Signs of discomfort when sitting or defecating
• Spotting or discharge on furniture or bedding
• Changes in bowel movements

Regular anal gland expression matters especially for small breed dogs, overweight dogs, and those with food allergies or digestive issues. These conditions increase the chance of impacted glands. At Hannah's House, we suggest preventative expressions as part of your dog's regular grooming routine to prevent painful impactions and infections.
