OMG! Gross! So Bella just finished going #2 on her pad, yay for her! Well, as I went for a treat she was about to sit down and wait for me like she always does when she knows she's going to receive a treat for doing a good job... And OMG! She started dragging her little tush on the carpet!! Gross! LOL! I couldn't believe it. I immediately snapped her out of it. Great, one more thing to worry about! :rolleyes: |

I don't think this is normal behavior? Your dog probably needs its anal glands expressed. |

my dogs use to drag their butts all over everything and it means they are not draining toxins properly from their anal glands through their poop. and they are dragging their a ** on the floor because its uncomfortable and they are trying to get it out. So that's why groomers usually squeeze their anal glands and drain them during grooming. but a really good food will stop them from doing that. you need to get their poop firm they need to struggle and give it a good push when they go potty to get out all that out. A little struggle is a good thing. |

It's hysterical when my Trixie tries to do this, because she just can't do it and kind of scoots with her butt on the ground. Maybe try wiping the little hinie :p with a wet paper towel or a baby wipe after the baby has gone. |
Thats one of the many reasons I dont have carpet lol. :D |

My groomer always asks me in an assuming way if I want a sanitary done. It's only done once about every 6-8 weeks so I always say yes please! Roxie doesn't do this often but I always know when it's time :rolleyes:! |
I only know what I've read on this subject but I think you're supposed to check the anal glands and get them a better food with more fiber maybe. So that they can drain their own little glands when they go poop. Although I must say, I've seen dogs do the hiney drag and it kinda cracks me up. I have no idea why that is lol. |
This isn't just a habit Dogs do this when they are uncomfortable down there It can mean that they have worms .... itchy butt anal glands are bothering them or they might have some dried feces stuck to the hair down there |

Yes, it can be an indication of other health issues as well, so if a dog is still doing this after getting wiped and the anal glands are expressed, it's probably time for a trip to the vet. BTW, when my groomer asks about a "sanitary", they mean a close cut around the belly and anus, not anal gland expression. It's probably different with your groomer, but thought I'd throw that out there. |
We take a hypoallergenic, fragrance-free wipie to Kimbo's little hiney after he makes "big potty". Just a quick swipe works great. If we forget, he does the hiney rub on the floor. Spoiled baby! |
Thanks everyone for the help/advice. I see my Lucky do this every now and then and he is 2 1/2 yrs old. Supposedly the groomer does the anal gland thing every time I take him. I just figured he was doing it because he may have felt a little something there. He was checked for worms recently so it isn't that. Am I supposed to ask the groomer if she is lying to me? Oh, no I couldn't. I'll ask the vet to check the next time I take Lucky. As far as Bella is concerned, when are you supposed to start the whole expulsion of the whole anal gland business? :confused: She will me 4months on the 17th. |
