My dog expressed anal glands. How do I clean the smell & prevent?

My dog got too excited and I think he expressed his anal glands. He smells really bad. How do I get rid of the odor? Do you recommend any products? Also, how do I prevent this from happening again? Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund miniature | Male | neutered | 1 year and 5 months old | 8 lbs

This is not unusual when dogs get very excited. You can wash his bottom with soap and rinse well. Make sure to get the underside of his tail. There is a product called Glandex that many dogs respond well to. I it helps to express the glands when he has a bowel movement. It is a supplement that you feed them and you can find pretty easily. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
