| Dogs have glands inside their rectums that have to be cleaned out. The groomer may squeezed them to empty them and he is feeling funny down there. They usually scoot on the carpet to empty the glands.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Could be a couple of different things.... Poop stuck on his butt. His anal glands need expressing. Or worms.

| That's usually a sign of worms because it makes their butts itchy but if it happened after the groomers it is probably because they expressed the anal glands If it keeps up call the groomer
