Anal gland emptying

These sacks that sit inside your dog’s bottom on each side. Normally they empty when your dog goes to the toilet, but occasionally they can become blocked. Signs they may be blocked are when your dog is dragging their bottom along the ground, biting their bottom – or they may just appear uncomfortable.

If your dog is suffering from blocked glands we can empty these and provide advice on how to try and prevent the problem.
