How to squeeze the dog’s anal glands

You can look at your dog’s anus as a circular table, and place your index finger and thumb on the side of your dog’s anus at the four-point-eight point and squeeze. It is best to take a Kleenex or cotton to cover the anus when squeezing to avoid spilling dirt on the body. They are usually cleaned during bath time, once a month. The dog’s anal glands can collect dirt, and long periods of time without anal gland cleaning can easily become smelly and cause anal inflammation. Dogs that exercise regularly generally have cleaner anal glands, while some dogs have dirtier ones.
