Active ingredients: Proprietary Blend of Beet Pulp, Flaxseed, Psyllium Husk, Dandelion Root, Pumpkin Powder (Flavouring Natural Chicken Liver & Bacon Powder) Analytical constituents: Protein: 10.00% Fat Content: 16.52% Crude Fibres: 2.07% Crude Ash: 2.96% Moisture: 14.03% A proprietary blend of Beet Pulp, Flaxseed, and Psyllium Husk, with Dandelion Root and Pumpkin Powder, are the five magic, all-natural ingredients which work together to promote a healthy digestive system, maintain regular bowel function, and prevent blockage of the anal sacs. Let's take a closer look at how these ingredients help your dog. Beet Pulp is rich in fibre that promotes beneficial bacteria in the gut. Fibre, or roughage, is a plant material that cannot be absorbed, and it essentially bulks up your pet's stool to make it firm, ensuring easy passage through the gut. Beet Pulp is especially good for dogs with diarrhoea because it absorbs excess water and waste, reducing irritation to the anal sacs. Flaxseed is a nutritional powerhouse. Packed with Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, it helps skin hydration, promotes healing, and reduces inflammation, all of which will improve anal sac irritation. It's also one of the good guys when it comes to carbs. The 20% soluble fibre helps regulate the speed of digestion, while the 80% insoluble fibre adds bulk to your dog's stool, leading to healthier bowel movements. Psyllium Husk is a natural supplement from the Plantago plant. Its bulk-forming laxative properties help dogs suffering from constipation, diarrhoea, or irritable bowel syndrome absorb toxins. When mixed with water, it's a soluble fibre that swells and sticks together, allowing for easy elimination of waste products and toxins. Dandelion Root is much more than a weed that invades your lawn. Often referred to as a superfood, the dandelion is an excellent whole-body tonic for your dog. The dandelion root stimulates bile production and circulation throughout the liver. The gall bladder, where the bile is stored, is also stimulated and released into the digestive system. This encourages a smooth flow and acts as a gentle laxative to promote the elimination of waste. Pumpkin Powder has long been used in herbal medicine. It is loaded with unsaturated fats, Vitamin E, and, most importantly, for your dog's anal gland discomfort, fibre, both soluble and insoluble. This high-fibre supplement helps to bulk your pup's stools and make them easier to pass. These five all-natural ingredients, with their various combinations of fibre and fatty acids, help to bulk your dog's stool. As your dog poops, pressure is put on the anal glands, and the fluid inside is expressed, which helps to protect against inflammation, infection, and blockage. In addition to all the great stuff above, these chews also contain Salmon Oil, which has a wide range of benefits for your dog's skin and coat condition. What's more, it also supports cognitive function! The Dog Doctors Scoot Solution, Anal Gland Support can be given to dogs of all sizes and breeds over 12 weeks old.

Q. What causes anal gland problems in dogs? A. Several factors can cause anal gland problems in dogs. Hereditary malformations of the anal glands are one potential cause. Additionally, chronic skin conditions such as yeast infections, skin or food allergies, and infestations of skin mites can increase a dog's chances of developing chronic anal gland issues. These conditions can lead to inflammation or blockages, making it difficult for the glands to express naturally. Regular veterinary check-ups and proper hygiene can help manage and prevent these problems. Additional Information Inflammation of the anal glands is an extremely common problem dogs experience. Anal glands are two small sacs on either side of your dog's anus. Normally, they are emptied each time your dog has a bowel movement; however, they can become easily blocked, causing inflammation and infection. The area can become itchy and painful, and dragging or scooting of the rear is the result. So, if your dog is doing this, they are trying to tell you something! The Dog Doctors' veterinary-formulated Scoot Solution, Anal Gland Relief provides a simple and effective remedy to this common problem, reducing the need for an expensive trip to the vet. Easily administered, these bite-size chews have an enticing chicken and bacon flavour dogs love, which will improve your dog's gut health, meaning no more inflamed anal glands.
