Glands
(yes, anal glands)
We do not and will not express anal glands
Here is my speech on anal glands...
Anal glands are glands INSIDE the body and anything inside the body is the veterinarian's territory.
Dogs are supposed to express their glands naturally, and if they aren't, that could indicate that there is a problem and they should see a veterinarian. If you start expressing the glands on puppies, you could interfere in the developments of the muscles they need to it themselves.
Leaders in the grooming industry are now recommending that groomers do not express the glands.
We can check to see if the glands are full if you ask us.
