“My Vet Couldn't Believe the Scooting Just Stopped ... No More Monthly Gland Squeezing.”
One chew a day helps their glands empty the natural way
“We Thought We'd Be Paying for Monthly Gland Squeezing … for the Rest of His Life.”
This was recommended by my vet after my dog needed to have her anal glands expressed several times over the course of a few months. We immediately noticed a difference in her stool, much firmer, which is healthier for her anal glands. Very happy with this product and my dog enjoys them.
The Change to Expect Once You Finally Bulk Up Their Stool So the Glands Empty on Their Own
In a randomized, controlled veterinary trial, a daily fibre-and-probiotic chew helped dogs empty their anal glands naturally. Untreated dogs were about twice as likely to need manual gland expression, and scooting fell to roughly 7% by the end of the study.
Source: Untreated dogs were about 2× as likely to need manual anal-sac expression (relative risk 2.1, p=0.025); scooting reduced to 7.1% by day 120 in the supplemented group.

Fibre and live probiotics get to work in the gut, adding bulk and water to the stool and starting to shift the microbiome toward better, more regular digestion.
- 💩Firmer, Fuller StoolsPsyllium, flaxseed, chia and pumpkin add healthy bulk so each stool presses on the glands the way nature intended.
- 🐾Less ScootingMany owners notice the floor-dragging and rear licking begin to ease within the first few weeks.
- ⚕️Fewer Gland SignsIn a randomized, controlled trial of a fibre-plus-probiotic chew, signs of anal sac trouble began dropping from day 30 of daily use.*
These work shockingly well. I was so sick of the stinky anal gland smell getting all over my house. I was always having to clean blankets or the couch. It was gross. She's not food motivated and pretty picky but she took them right away! It's also nice that they're soft enough to crumble on days we need to get her to eat more we can just crumble them up all over the food. They have been gentle on her stomach and haven't noticed any stomach upset with them. I highly recommend them!
With the gut more balanced and stools consistently well-formed, the anal glands are compressed and drained more completely during normal bowel movements.
- 🦠A Balanced GutThe 10-strain probiotic blend supports a healthy microbiome and steadier, better-formed stools.
- 💪Glands Emptying NaturallyBulkier stools help the sacs express on their own, the way a healthy dog's should.
- 📊About Half as Likely to Need SqueezingIn the trial, supplemented dogs were around half as likely to need manual gland expression as untreated dogs.*
Seems to be helping with the "scoots!" And our vet approved… after 1 month already there is significant improvement.
By around 90 days the benefit holds steady. For most dogs the scooting, licking and biting have eased off, often on a simple once-daily maintenance chew.
- 🎾No More Butt-DraggingThe scooting across the carpet and the constant rear-licking settle down for most dogs.
- ❤️Fewer Vet VisitsLess need for the recurring gland-expression appointments — and the stress that comes with them.
- 🐕A Comfortable New NormalIn the study the improvement stabilized by day 90 and held to the end, on a steady daily dose.
Love the product and my dog seems to really like it. She gets very excited when they are offered to her. Been taking for few months now and we are super happy with it.

No Other Anal Gland Chew Tackles the Root Cause This Completely
Made with fibre, prebiotics and a 10-strain probiotic blend chosen to firm the stool, balance the gut, and help the glands empty the way nature intended.
1. Bulks & Firms the Stool
The real reason glands get impacted: stool that's too soft to empty them.
Anal glands are meant to empty naturally when a firm, bulky stool passes and presses on the sacs. Soft or low-volume stool never applies that pressure — so the glands fill, and the scooting starts.
This chew is built around that root cause. Psyllium husk, ground flaxseed, chia seed and pumpkin add soluble and insoluble fibre that holds water and bulks the stool.
In a randomized, controlled trial, a fibre-plus-probiotic chew helped dogs empty their anal glands naturally and roughly halved the need for manual expression.*
✔ Adds healthy bulk
✔ Firms up loose stool
✔ Helps glands empty on their own
2. Balances the Gut With 10 Live Strains
Healthy glands start with a healthy gut.
A balanced microbiome means steadier digestion and better-formed stools — exactly what the glands need to express normally.
Our 10-strain probiotic blend delivers 10 billion CFU, including Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus coagulans alongside Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains.
In veterinary research, probiotic supplementation improved faecal consistency and supported the natural emptying of the anal sacs.*
✔ 10 billion CFU, 10 strains
✔ Supports regular, well-formed stools
✔ Feeds a healthy microbiome
3. Soothes the Gut & Perianal Tissue
Comfort where it counts.
When the fibre ferments in the colon it produces short-chain fatty acids such as butyrate, which have a calming, anti-inflammatory effect in the gut.
We pair that with ingredients chosen to soothe and support the tissue around the glands:
- Marshmallow Root — a traditional soothing demulcent
- Cranberry Extract — antioxidant support
- Vitamin C & Zinc — for healthy skin and tissue
Together they help keep the whole rear-end system calm and comfortable.
4. Supports Digestion & Regularity
Regular, complete bowel movements are what keep glands clear.
A built-in digestive enzyme complex helps your dog break food down and absorb it properly:
✔ Amylase, Protease & Lipase for carbs, protein and fat
✔ Cellulase & Papain to help process fibre
✔ Works with the probiotics for steadier digestion
Better digestion means more predictable, well-formed stools — and glands that empty on schedule.
5. Stops the Scooting at the Source
Less scooting. Fewer vet trips. A more comfortable dog.
The goal isn't just softer stool — it's ending the butt-dragging, the rear-licking and the recurring gland appointments for good.
In the clinical trial, scooting fell to about 7% in the supplemented group by the end of the study, while it climbed back toward 43% in untreated dogs.*

Built With Ingredients Studied in Dogs. Backed by Veterinary Research.
We didn't choose our ingredients because they're trendy. We chose them because the approach behind them has been studied in dogs with the exact problem this chew is made for.
Clinically Studied Benefits
What the Veterinary Trial Measured
Unlike supplements that rely only on owner impressions, this trial tracked a hard clinical endpoint — whether a dog still needed its anal sacs manually expressed — alongside owner-reported scooting and licking.
Fewer Dogs Needing Manual Expression
In the trial, the untreated group's failure rate climbed to 61.5% while the supplemented group stabilised at 19% — dogs receiving the chew were about half as likely to need manual gland expression (relative risk 2.1, p=0.025).
A Big Drop in Scooting
Scooting fell to 7.1% in the supplemented group by day 120, while it climbed back toward 43% in untreated dogs over the same period.
Less Licking & Biting at the Rear
Signs of perianal licking and biting followed the same downward trend in the supplemented group throughout the study.
Better Stool Consistency
Fibre and probiotics work together to bulk and firm the stool — the mechanism that lets the anal glands empty naturally during normal bowel movements.
Results That Hold
Benefits built from day 30 of daily use, and the improvement stabilised by day 90 and held through the end of the four-month study.
More Than Just Fibre
Most anal-gland products are a single scoop of one fibre.
Our formula combines multiple fibre sources, a 10-strain probiotic blend and digestive enzymes, selected to work together in one convenient daily chew.
Together, these ingredients help support:
- Healthy anal glands
- Firm, well-formed stools
- A balanced gut microbiome
- Comfortable digestion
- Regular bowel movements
- Soothed perianal tissue
Built Around the Mechanism That Actually Empties the Glands
Every ingredient in our formula was selected with one goal in mind: firmer, bulkier, more regular stools so the anal glands express the way a healthy dog's should — and the scooting stops.
Instead of relying on a single fibre, we built a comprehensive formula around the fibre-plus-probiotic approach shown in veterinary research to reduce the recurrence of anal sac impaction.
