Why Do Dogs Have Anal Gland Problems?
Anal glands — two small sacs either side of your dog's bottom — normally empty naturally when your dog passes a stool. In many dogs, particularly smaller breeds, this process doesn't work as efficiently as it should. The glands become full, uncomfortable, and sometimes impacted or infected.
It's one of the most common reasons dogs visit the vet, and for many dogs it becomes a recurring issue that owners manage on an ongoing basis. Signs range from obvious to easy to miss.
Scooting
Dragging their bottom along the floor — the most recognisable sign
Licking or biting
Persistently licking or chewing around their tail and rear
Discomfort when sitting
Reluctance to sit, or suddenly jumping up from a seated position
Strong fishy odour
A distinct fishy smell, particularly noticeable when your dog is warm
GlandVet Tasty Soft Chews
GlandVet is a daily supplement designed to support healthy anal gland function from the inside. Rather than treating the symptom — manual emptying at the vet — GlandVet works to address the underlying cause by supporting stool consistency and fibre levels, which are key to natural gland expression.
Soft chew format means no battles at treat time. Most dogs take them willingly as a daily treat.
- Supports natural anal gland expression through healthy stool formation

A Better Long-Term Approach Than Manual Emptying Alone
Manual gland emptying at the vet or groomer provides instant relief — but it doesn't address why the glands aren't emptying on their own. For dogs with recurring issues, a daily supplement that supports the underlying process is a smarter long-term strategy.
Works daily, not reactively
Supporting gland function every day reduces the chance of impaction building up in the first place.
Fewer vet visits
For dogs who need manual emptying every 4–8 weeks, a supplement can significantly extend that interval — or stop the cycle entirely.
Easy to give
Soft chew format means most dogs take them without hesitation. No pills, no paste, no fuss.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long before I see results?
Most owners notice an improvement within 4–6 weeks of consistent daily use. As with any supplement supporting a biological process, results improve over time rather than overnight.
Can I use GlandVet alongside manual gland emptying?
Yes — they work well together. Many owners use GlandVet to reduce how often manual emptying is needed, rather than replacing it entirely at first.
Is GlandVet suitable for all breeds?
GlandVet is suitable for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Anal gland issues are particularly common in smaller breeds, but the supplement is appropriate for larger dogs too.
My dog's glands are currently impacted — will this help?
If your dog is currently experiencing an impaction or infection, please visit your vet first for immediate treatment. GlandVet is best used as an ongoing preventative supplement rather than an acute treatment.
Do you offer UK-wide delivery?
Yes — we deliver across the UK from our practice in Tingley, West Yorkshire. Free delivery on orders over £50.
