The anal glands or anal sacs are little glands that are positioned around the anus in canines, cats and other mammals – thankfully, we humans do not have them. Cats and dogs employ them for ‘scenting’ their terrain and can vacate them spontaneously, generally when under stress or assault. Otherwise, cats and dogs usually empty the anal glands when they pass their faeces. Even so, if the animal isn’t passing stools which are solid enough to express the glands, they can get blocked and clogged which often can cause uncomfortableness and infection.

If a dog, in particular, is being affected by its anal glands, it may pull its bottom along the ground, may lick or nip at its backside and sit uncomfortably on the ground.

It’s important to have your animal’s anal glands checked regularly. The veterinary can express them and explain to you how to get it done, so you can make certain that no build-up of secretions arises. The right way to do it is to carefully apply pressure to the glands using your thumb and forefinger. By pressing upwards and inwards, you will start to observe the fluid appearing. Once you have been taught the method, it’ll be really simple for you to complete it for your pet whenever required.

PetAlive’s AnalGlandz will help to cleanse, soften and empty the anal glands in cats and dogs by assisting their healthy draining and to keep the rectal area clean and healthy. It is a 100% natural medication which is used topically: add 5-10 drops of the AnalGlandz to approximately 1/4 cup of warm water. Try to have the water as warm as your pet can take without inducing distress. You employ clean cotton swabs as a compress to apply a gentle pressure directly over the rectal opening. Initially, you can use PetAlive’s AnalGlandz once daily but as your dog’s anal health and wellness improves, it is possible to reduce this to once or twice a week as a maintenance program.

Effects are immediate! The relaxing and detoxification effects of AnalGlandz are obvious instantly, as your dog or cat will acquire instantaneous relief. Following a further few days of use, the build-up of secretions in your dog’s glands will become softer and more liquid making the anal glands easier to express.

One bottle of PetAlive’s AnalGlandz can last as much as 60 days dependent on the size of your pet, and the severity of the problem.

So make life a little easier for your ‘best friend’ and use PetAlive AnalGlandz to help make the world a more comfortable place!
