Thanks everyone. It's not the most visually fun article to read but such an important part of your dog's anatomy to know about.

You did a great job of making something so important clear and easy to understand. I really appreciate the visuals you included, both the diagrams and the videos. I learned a lot from this. Thanks for all your hard work.

If my dog doesn't show any of these symptoms, do I still need to express the anal glands?

No! Most dogs don't need them expressed. If she's not showing any signs she's good to go then. Count your blessings, lol.

You know, I've had a jillion dogs throughout my lifetime and believe it or not, I didn't know anything about the need for expressing anal glands until I got to this forum... it was a humbling experience. :D

I have gently squeezed at 4 and 8 positions and i dont see anything coming out or any yapping from Kaiser but he still occasionally does the butt boogie
i DID have him on clavamox for almost a month and its a LOT LOT better but still at times he will dance-stool is NOT soft or runny
and looking at his backside it doesnt look all red and infected like it did before the vet expressed him and gave me clavamox-if a groomer can do it, is that safe?
my vet charges FIFTY BUCKS just for a cover charge to walk into the office.............
thanks!

Groomers can do it, but I would call your vet to see if you can come on just for that, maybe a tech can do it.
