What are anal glands?

Anal glands, or anal sacs, are two small glands present
in both dogs and cats situated just below and either side
of the anal opening. These glands produce a substance
that is secreted through ducts just inside the rectum
when pressure is put on the glands - most commonly
by the passing of feces.

This substance has a strong odor which is very
unpleasant to humans but was probably useful to
animals, especially in times gone by, for marking their
territory.

In modern-day domestic pets, anal glands can often
cause health problems. Sometimes the anal gland
secretions are not released naturally and build up -
leading to thickening of the secretion and clogging
of the duct. You may have seen your pet with his
tail up, dragging his behind across the floor.

This is an attempt to relieve the pressure and discomfort
of impacted anal glands and is called scooting. Scooting
can cause damage to the anus and indicates that your pet
is having trouble with his anal glands and needs some type
of intervention.  

Caring for the anal glands and promoting anal gland health
is therefore very important to prevent problems.

The natural way

Anal glands should be regularly checked and expressed
when necessary in order to empty the build up of secretions
from the gland. This can be done by your vet, groomer or
even by you - getting the knack of this is not difficult
especially once you have been shown the technique.

To express your pet’s anal glands, use your fingers or a
thumb and forefinger to gently apply pressure on either
side of the anal opening - on the outside of the glands.
Press inwards and upwards and you should see the fluid
being expressed.

A high-fiber diet, as well as regular use of PetAlive Natural
Moves (to keep your pet regular), will also help to support
regular emptying of the anal glands, as healthy
bowel movements will express the glands naturally.

What is AnalGlandz?

AnalGlandz is a 100% herbal remedy which can be used topically to
assist with manual expression of your pet’s anal glands. Regular use
will also help to keep the anal glands and surrounding area healthy.

What are the Ingredients?
AnalGlandz contains the following ingredients

   * Annual Nettle (Urtica urens) is excellent for natural cleansing,
       providing a soothing tonic effect. (Obertreis, B., Giller, K.,
       Teucher, T., Behnke, B., and Schmitz, H. “Anti-inflammatory
       effect of Urtica dioica folia extract in comparison to caffeic
       malic acid”. Arzneimittelforschung. 1996;46(1):52-56.)

   * Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is a well-known and effective
       herbal cleanser found all over the world. This herb will also act
       as an excellent skin cleanser and detoxifier and is perfect for use
       on the anal glands.

   * German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) was regarded as one
       of the nine sacred herbs given to the world by ancient Anglo-Saxons.
       In modern times it is widely used as a gentle cleansing and soothing
       herb. (Maiche, A. G., Grohn, P., and Maki-Hokkonen, H. “Effect of
       chamomile cream and almond ointment on acute radiation skin reaction.
      ” Acta Oncol 1991;30(3):395-396.)( Glowania, H. J., Raulin, C., and
       Swoboda, M. “Effect of chamomile on wound healing--a clinical
       double-blind study.” Z.Hautkr. 9-1-1987;62(17):1262, 1267-1271.)

   * Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) will help to support the health of the
       skin around the anal glands.

   * Silica (6C) is a natural remedy excellent for supporting natural
       emptying of the anal sacs. Silica will also help to keep the anal
       ducts open.


How do I use AnalGlandz?

DIRECTIONS
Add 5 - 10 drops to 1/4 cup of warm water (try to make this as
warm as your pet will tolerate, without being uncomfortably hot).
Using clean cotton swabs, apply gentle
pressure as a hot compress directly over the
anal opening. AnalGlandz may be used initially
once a day and this routine may be reduced to
once or twice weekly as maintenance routine.

How long until I see results?

Soothing and cleansing effects will be
immediate and your pet will experience
considerable relief. Within several days of use
the thickened secretion inside the sacs will
become softer and more liquid and the anal
glands will be easier to express.

How long will a bottle last?

One 50 ml bottle of AnalGlandz will last for 15 - 60 days,
depending on the size and needs of your pet.


What Others Have to Say About AnalGlandz.

“Our German Short hair has had some real problems with
anal glands. We took her to the vet and he expressed the
glands. He suggested we have the surgery done to remove
the anal sacs.  Our dog is 10 years old and we didn't want
to put her through the surgery.  I decided to try AnalGlandz
and I can't believe how much it has helped her.  I have
had her on this product for about three months.  When
I took her back to the vet he said he couldn't believe how
much better she was.  He said she was 10 times better than
the first time he saw her and told me to keep up the good
work.  Thank you so much for your product. I wasn't
sure about it at first but I would recommend this to any pet
owner with the same problem, it really works!!!”

— Sandra, MN, USA

“Using your AnalGlandz remedy makes the terrible job of
expressing my dog’s anal sacs a lot more successful and
bearable. In fact, since using these herbal compresses
we don’t need to go through the process as often anymore
as the glands seem to stay open and empty most of the time,
without the disgusting smell we had to put up with! A
wonderful product- thank you!”
