ANAL GLANDS: The anal glands are two glands located on each side of the dogs rectum. These are located at approx. 8:00 and :00! a"out #$ inch on each side. The purpose of these glands are to lea%e that dog&s speciali'ed sent upon depositing his$her solid waste. The pressure of the stool passing! s(uee'es on the glands and forces a small amount of the sent oil out onto the stool. Larger dogs should ha%e these chec)ed to "e sure the* are empt*ing at least three to four times per *ear if! there are signs the* ma* need it. Small +er, dogs should "e chec)ed once or twice per month if signs show a need. Some "reeds are more prone to needing this done than others. -our .et. or a /(ualified/ dog groomer can show *ou how to empt* these glans so that an* restricted accumulation will "e released if *ou desire. 0t is a /smell* 1o"/ so "e sure *ou ha%e shampoo to wash it all awa* and off *ou and the dog. 2lugged anal glands can a"scess! cause lameness and e%en hind(uarter paral*sis. . 3e sure *our dog groomer chec)s and$or empties these glands if *ou ha%e seen the /signs/.
