Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. I would recommend using a supplement called Glandex to see if this lessens the anal gland issue. I have had great success using this supplement and it can be found quite easily online. If you are doing a food trial, I would give it at least 4-6 weeks to see if it will improve the problem. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
