If you want to raise a dog well, laziness is definitely not possible. For the sake of the dog's health, the owner needs to clean the dog regularly. It is an important part that can't be ignored for the dog's anal glands, and it is also a place that many shovelers are prone to ignore. Many shovelers don’t know how to do it, and may also feel dirty, so they don’t squeeze the anal glands for the dog. Let’s learn about the dog’s anal gland cleaning so that they can better clean the dog.

If your dog often licks his anus, rubs his butt on the ground. Sprint or chase your tail or keep licking or biting the root of your tail, which means that your dog needs to squeeze the anal glands. In addition, if your butt rubs against the ground, it may be that there are insects in your dog's stomach. It is necessary for the dog to deworm it regularly.

In fact, regular compression and cleaning of dog's anal glands is very important, not just to drive away the body odor on the dog. If the dog's anal glands are not squeezed frequently, it will also cause anal gland inflammation and produce an abscess. At this time, the dog is listless, refuses to eat or is constipated. Crowd every time you bathe your dog.  

The method is as follows:

First: Flip the dog's tail upwards to make the anus protrude, and the position you face the anus

Search the dog's anus as a round table, place the index finger and thumb at four or eight o'clock next to the dog's anus to squeeze. The technique must be paid attention to: from the inside out, from light to heavy. Remember, when squeezing, it is best to cover the anus with tissue or cotton to avoid stinky water splashing on your body.

If the glands have been blocked for a while, the secretions will be squeezed out like toothpaste instead of spraying, usually just by squeezing them. Normal secretions are light yellow-brown, with concentrations ranging from watery to paste, and accompanied by foul smell. If you can touch the accumulation but cannot squeeze it out, it means that the anal glands are blocked and must be treated as soon as possible and seek medical treatment.

This requires parents and parents to explore slowly, if they really can't master the method. Just go to the pet beauty salon. Let professionals do it. Because if it is really not done well, the dog will feel very uncomfortable. Not cooperating.
