My dog is four years old and has never had her anal glands expressed. Of course your vet can recommend what needs to be done, but some people have it done as a matter of course when they go to the groomers and I don't think that's a good idea.
I think it's better if she only eats dry food. Does she drink enough water? You could also buy some plain canned pumpkin. It is full of fiber and your puppy should like it. My dog does although I've only given it to her when I was making a pie. If you do buy some, make sure it is the plain pureed. The pumpkin pie mix already has sugar and spices in it which you don't want. |
