Glandex Max Vet Strength Anal Gland Chews for Dogs, Savory Beef Flavor (60 Count)

Glandex Max Vet Strength Anal Gland Chews for Dogs

For dogs. Savory beef flavor.

Product Description

Glandex Max is the veterinary-exclusive strength of Vetnique's anal gland supplement, built around a proprietary combination of the MegaFiber MAX fiber blend, the DigeSEB Super Pet enzyme blend, and the Maxfivex probiotic blend.

The idea behind it is straightforward. A dog's anal glands empty naturally when stool is firm enough to apply pressure on the way out. Soft or loose stool doesn't do that job, which is how glands end up full, uncomfortable, and repeatedly in front of a vet tech for manual expression. The added fiber bulks the stool so the glands empty the way they're supposed to, with the enzymes and probiotics supporting digestion more broadly.

If your dog scoots, licks at the rear, or has been in for expression more than once, this is the category of product your veterinarian is likely to suggest alongside whatever else is going on.

Choose the chew size matched to your dog.

How to Use

Give daily by body weight, following the label or your veterinarian's direction.

Give it time and give it consistently. Fiber works by changing stool consistency over days and weeks, not overnight, and this is a supplement 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.

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 allergies, fleas, tapeworms, 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.

Recurring gland problems in a dog often trace back to chronic soft stool or underlying allergies, and sorting out the cause does more than managing the symptom.
