Dog anal gland expression is a grooming service that helps relieve pressure caused by full anal glands. When these glands do not empty naturally, dogs may experience discomfort or irritation. Our process is done carefully by experienced professionals to reduce discomfort while supporting your dog’s overall health.



Some dogs require anal gland expression if the glands do not empty on their own. Common signs include scooting, excessive licking, or discomfort while sitting. This service is typically performed only when necessary and not as part of every grooming visit.

To schedule dog anal gland expression, we ask for information about your dog’s size and health history. Dogs must be able to be safely handled during grooming. If there are signs of infection or ongoing issues, we may recommend consulting a veterinarian before proceeding.
