How Do You Express Your Pet's Anal Glands?
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.

Success Stories...
“Terry, my miniature poodle, has really benefited from regular compresses with your AnalGlandz product …We have just used your compresses every now and again and then manually emptied the glands the way the vet showed us - it’s really so much easier and better for all involved. Thanks for a great site and really useful products!”
—Harriet G
“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!”
—Sylvia

How Do You Use PetAlive AnalGlandz for Pets?
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 You 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.
180 Day Guarantee
