My dog's anal glands need frequent draining. How can I help her?

Question

My dog s anal glands are bothersome for her and need to be drained every 6 weeks. Is there anything else that I should be doing to help her? She has no digestive problems otherwise except that she has to eat only HP foods and snacks due ti skin allergies. Thank You!

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. There is a supplement called Glandex and one called No Scoot that many of my clients love for anal gland problems. In some cases it can decrease how often they need to be expressed. I would discuss with her veterinarian if either of these may be compatible with her diet.
