My cat scoots on carpet. What food helps with anal gland problems?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My cat keeps cleaning his rear end on the carpet. I read that its related to her diet and problems with her glands. I'd like to buy better food for her and see if that will help. Please advise! Thank you, Erika B.
