Glandex Advanced Vet Strength Anal Gland Chews, Duck and Bacon Flavor
Glandex Advanced Vet Strength Anal Gland Chews for Dogs
For dogs. Duck and bacon flavor.
Product Description
Glandex Advanced is an oral supplement formulated to support healthy anal gland function in dogs, and it approaches the problem from two directions at once.
The first is stool consistency. A dog's anal glands empty naturally when stool is firm enough to apply pressure on the way out, so soft or loose stool is how glands end up full, uncomfortable, and back at the clinic for manual expression. The fiber content addresses that, with probiotics and enzymes supporting the digestive tract more broadly.
The second is what's driving the soft stool in the first place. This formula adds omega fatty acids and other ingredients aimed at the underlying inflammation and allergies that so often sit behind recurring gland trouble. That's the part most gland supplements skip, and it's why chronic cases keep coming back.
It's grain free, with no corn, soy, or wheat.
Benefits
Vet Strength Formula: Supports healthy anal gland function.
Supports Natural Emptying: Fiber firms stool so glands empty the way they should.
Probiotics and Enzymes: Supports a healthy digestive tract.
Omega Fatty Acids: Targets the inflammation and allergies that often underlie gland problems.
Grain Free: No corn, soy, or wheat.
Duck and Bacon Flavor: Palatable enough that most dogs take it as a treat.
How to Use
Give daily by body weight, following the label or your veterinarian's direction.
Give it time and give it consistently. Fiber and omega fatty acids both work over days and weeks rather than overnight, and this is meant for ongoing daily use rather than a short course.
Keep fresh water available. Added fiber works better when a dog is well hydrated.
Additional Information
For dogs. This is a nutritional supplement, not an FDA-approved drug, and not a substitute for veterinary diagnosis or treatment.
Tell your veterinarian about all supplements your dog receives, particularly if your dog is on medication, since added fiber can affect how some drugs are absorbed. If your dog is already on a fish oil or omega supplement, mention that too so the total isn't doubled up unintentionally.
Keep out of reach of children and pets. The chews are palatable, so store the container where a dog can't get into it.
Talk to your veterinarian
Scooting and rear-end licking have several possible causes beyond full glands, including fleas, tapeworms, allergies, and skin infection around the tail base. A supplement won't resolve any of those.
See your veterinarian if your dog is straining, if there is swelling, redness, discharge, or a foul smell near the anus, if your dog is painful when touched back there, or if the scooting continues despite treatment. An impacted gland can abscess and rupture, which is painful and needs medical attention rather than more fiber.
