I wouldn't get them expressed unless you have a reason to.. if your dog was acting off, any signs of discomfort back there, licking excessively back there, or if he was butt scooting. Butt scooting is a major symptom they will do, if they need them expressed.

I would also never let a groomer express them, groomers don’t go all the way in- most of them will express from the outside. This will not get all the liquid out. I would highly recommend if you need to get them done, get them done at the Vet. They will “go into” the rectum and express all the liquid out.
