I agree to have the vet or groomer do it. It is not a pleasant thing and is most definately worth any amount of money the anal gland emptier wants to charge. LOL! The vet tried to show me how to do it to my golden once and I politely told him he could keep the job for himself. Luckily he has only had to have it done that once. Dogs are supposed to be able to empty them themselves from bowel movements and licking, however sometimes they can not.
