Does your dog scoot it’s bum on floor, or have a bit of a fishy smell?
It could be full anal glands…
Anal glands are located on either side of your dog’s anus, that can fill with a brown thick pungent liquid.
Anal glands are the dustbins of the body and they excrete excess waste that has built up in the body.
An excess of something in the diet normally causes this, most commonly a diet too high in protein or fat.
The body can only utilise a certain amount of protein and fat for maintenance and energy requirements any excess can turn into metabolic waste and cause the glands to fill up.
Feed a high quality diet, made with controlled levels of protein and fat and feed at the correct feeding amount for your dog’s weight, age and activity level. Ideally stop treats while you have the problem or reduce the daily food to account for these treats.
