Do all groomers HAVE to do this? Or is it something you have to ask for when taking your dog to be completely groomed (as in bathed, hair cut, nail clipping, etc.)?
Dog Grooming...anal glands?
Groomers are not required to empty your dogs anal glands. You usually have to ask the groomer to do it, and a lot of them sometimes won't. It depends on how good your dog is at having them drained. It is not hard to do at all though. If you look at the anus as a clock, then the anal glands are at 5 and 7. When they are full they will fill like two grapes. All you do is feel behind them and give a squeeze forwards and they will express. They have a terrible odor to them though. See if your groomer will do them. If not, most any vet office will.
Best of luck.
