Thor used to have his anal glands expressed, but I haven't done it since I've adopted him, and he's fine. No smell, and one big, fast poop at the same time every day. |
Because groomers somehow decided that's what they should be donig I guess.
I don't get why it is routine either. It shouldn't be. They should really only be expressed if there is a problem.
Adding fiber may work for some but for others it may not.
You can try adding fiber to the diet but some dogs will still need theirs expressed.
