Adding pumpkin to increase the fiber in his diet may help. I am not sure if you are having to take him to the vet to have his glands expressed or if he is expressing them on his own. Some dogs need their glands expressed frequently. It would be a good idea to have your vet completely empty his glands and see if that helps.
