About your dog's Anal Gland
Scooting, licking and smelling could be signs
of an anal gland ailment. The anal sacs are
located on each side of the anus, just under
the skin. They open to the outside by tiny
passageways or ducts. Glands within the
anal sacs produce a dark, foul- smelling
substance. The sacs normally empty as
the animal has a bowel movement. Their
purpose is unknown although one theory
suggests that they were once used to mark
territory. Today, however your dog can
do well without them.
Your dog has a set of anal glands placed
on either side of their anus. In the wild
these glands secrete scent which your dog
uses to mark its territory when it has a
bowel movement.
For many resons, sometimes these
tear-shaped glands get blocked. This
means that while more and more liquid
is produced, none is being expressed
into your dog's stools. Signs of blocked
anal glands include bum scooting,
bloody stools, strong odour or a
swollen anus.
Expressing your dog's anal glands is
relatively easy. Use one hand to hold
up the dog's tail and pull it gently toward
the head. Hold a disposable cloth or
tissue in the other hand. Place your thumb
externally over one anal gland and your
fingers over the other
(see the diagram an top for correct position).
Press in and apply firm pressure as you
pull your fingers posteriorly over the glands.
The glands should empty out into your tissue.
Normal anal sac fluid should come out slightly
yellow or brown in colour. Impacted sacs will
be very difficult to express and the material
may be pasty and coloured grey or black.
Star Mark Bob-A-Lot
The Bob-a-Lot was developed by the
Certified Training and Behavior Specialists
at Triple Cown Dog Academy to reflect the
way dogs learn and have fun. Fill with treats
or food in the top or bottom chamber and let
your d manipulate it with the dogs nose or
feet to extract the goodies inside. Both the top and bottom chambers feature adjustable
opening to regulate the difficulty in which the dog removes the treats. The Bob-A-lot holds
up to three cups of food in a variety of size,
and is a great way to feed and exercise
your dog. the Bob-A-Lot is made from a
durable polymer with an wigted, anti-slip
coating on the bottom that causes Bob-A-Lot
to wobble erratically. One size is appropriate for dogs of all size. The Bob-A-lot is not a
chew toy. As with all dogs toys supervision is
recommended for the saft of your dog.
Great at slowing down fast eaters
I'm useing it with Bailey, and the real benefit
is that since she now how to work for her food,
she isn't able to scarf it down in seconds and
has less tummy problems, because of it. I love
it. It took her only a few minutes to figure it
out but now that she gets the concept, she is
able to get her food consistenly yet still have
a challenge. She wobbles it to get every last
food out of it. I let her have access to it in
the morning and late afternoon to eat.
