My dog scoots and licks. What diet prevents chronic anal gland issues?

Question

Hi - Our dog tends to Scoot a lot and keeps licking his behind. We have taken him to the vet who said it required regular cleaning. Is there a diet we can feed him to avoid this chronic issue? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 1 year and 2 months old | 66 lbs

Yes, you need either a high fibre diet such as "fibre response" from royal canin or a fibre supplement such as Pro Fibre from Protexin, this should help solidify the faeces and should solve the anal gland issue.
