Anal gland problems are very common.
Almost every day, dog and sometimes cat patients visit my integrative veterinary practice, due to scooting on their hind end. A veterinary hospital can be a very smelly place at times! Anal gland problems are very common.
Dogs and cats have two small pouches on either side of their anus that make a smelly, brown fluid—this fluid is normally expressed when your cat or dog defecates. When anal glands are not completely empty, this becomes a problem. It leads to impaction, and if left untreated, infection and anal gland abscesses.
Signs of Anal Gland Problems in Dogs and Cats
The signs include scooting, licking, or biting their rear end, a very bad smell, and discomfort while defecating. In cats, this problem is often showing up as over-grooming of the hind end at the tail head and belly, or acting uncomfortable when defecating.
In dogs, impactions can be relieved by expressing the anal glands, but in our experience, cat anal gland impactions are much less likely to be detected until an abscess is detected.
Quick at Home Remedies for Anal Gland Disorders in Cats and Dogs
For both dogs and cats anal gland abscesses, expression, discomfort medication, antibiotics, and warm compressing take care of the immediate problem.
For natural remedies, NHV recommends using the NHV Stimmune, which has herbs that have antibiotic properties, as well as NHV First Aid Spray, to help with the infection.
Preventing Anal Gland Disorders in Cats and Dogs
There are, however, things that can be done to prevent or manage anal gland problems. Diet is the main change that I always recommend- sometimes adding natural fiber such as pumpkin or squash will help relieve the problem or plain flavored psyllium.
NHV Maris can also be used to soften hard stools. It’s gentle and glycerin-based so is safe for long-term use.
I have found in refractory cases a hypoallergenic diet is helpful in controlling the problem. Weight loss is helpful in both cats and dogs due to posture and normal grooming difficulties. Probiotics are always helpful in maintaining good gastrointestinal health, as well as digestive enzymes.
Infrequently, anal glands can be abnormally shaped setting up for problems. In my opinion, overexpression (routine expression) sets dogs up for a problem (cats in my experience will not put up with routine expression).
Keeping your pet healthy with exercise, diet, immune support will help prevent these problems. In addition to the Stimmune and Maris, other natural products to help boost the immune system are NHV BK-Detox, ES-Clear, and Turmeric.

Wound Support for Dogs
If you’ve got an adventurous pup, chances are that they’ll come back from the yard or park with a cut in their paw or scrape on their nose sooner or later. The best thing you can do is to apply a topical treatment like our first aid spray for dogs to help inhibit infection, and if you’re able, bandage the area to protect it while it heals.
A dog’s injury might not always seem serious at first, but any open injury can be infected if left unattended. A dog could even develop sepsis, a potentially life-threatening condition that calls for urgent medical care.
Because immediate action is the best way to deter infection, minor cuts and scratches should be treated at home as soon as possible. Deep punctures or lacerations, as well as injuries that are already showing signs of pus or infection, will require professional treatment.
How NHV’s First Aid Spray Will Help Your Dog
NHV’s first aid spray for dog wounds is an excellent topical solution for at-home pet care. This all-natural first aid spray for dogs is formulated with extracts like aloe vera to relieve discomfort and soothe irritated skin during the recovery process so dogs aren’t tempted to lick or scratch their injuries. Our First Aid Spray is also made with extracts like neem and tea tree oil with antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antiseptic properties that are essential to removing initial foreign contagions.
All-natural ingredients make our first aid spray safe to use daily as your dog recovers.

You can help relieve your cat’s constipation with natural remedies formulated by vets. Promote healthy bowel movements with Maris, a gentle, herbal supplement that will soothe your pet’s intestines, soften stools, and help relieve cramps and gas.

- You may notice small hard stools in the litter box and around the house

What Causes Constipation in Cats?
Constipation occurs when a pet is unable to evacuate his or her bowels. When this occurs, water from fecal matter is absorbed by the colon, leaving a hard mass that is uncomfortable to pass.
Constipation may be caused by poor hydration or a dirty litter pan. Start by ensuring that your cat has easy access to clean drinking water and a clean litter box. Diet is another common factor. They may have ingested animal bones or other indigestible materials, like hair, certain plants, or litter.
Other possible causes may include:
- Chronic underlying conditions like kidney disease or arthritic discomfort
- Physical internal obstructions like a broken pelvis
- Some prescription medications
- Neuromuscular problems with the colon itself
- Anxiety
Constipation may be a sign of a more serious condition, such as inflammation of the colon, called colitis. If your kitty’s constipation is recurring, it’s important to schedule a visit with your vet to rule this out.

Symptoms of Allergies in Dogs
- Hot Spots
- Sneezing
- Difficulty breathing
- Face scratching or rubbing
- Ear infection
- Watery eyes
Causes of Allergies in Dogs
- Allergenic Food - chicken and beef can often be culprits
- Fleas & Insect Bites
- Environmental factors such as dust mites, pollen and other irritants
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to a normally harmless substance called an antigen. Allergies in dogs often occur when allergens are inhaled, ingested, or absorbed by the body. When this occurs, the immune system becomes over-reactive to substances it believes are harmful. This reaction causes a release of histamine, causing the common allergy symptoms in your pet.
The cause of allergies in dogs can be difficult to determine. While it is always best to eliminate the cause altogether, like omitting a specific food from their diet, some causes can be nearly impossible to totally eradicate, like dust mites or pollen. This is where a dog allergy supplement that is taken daily can help relieve your loved one of common allergens, even when you're not exactly sure what they are allergic to.
The Four Most Common Skin Conditions in Pets
- Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD)
- Atopic Dermatitis (Atopy)
- Food Allergy Dermatitis
- Mange

Causes of Allergies in Dogs
- Allergenic Food - chicken and beef can often be culprits
- Fleas & Insect Bites
- Environmental factors such as dust mites, pollen and other irritants
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to a normally harmless substance called an antigen. Allergies in dogs often occur when allergens are inhaled, ingested, or absorbed by the body. When this occurs, the immune system becomes over-reactive to substances it believes are harmful. This reaction causes a release of histamine, causing the common allergy symptoms in your pet.
The cause of allergies in dogs can be difficult to determine. While it is always best to eliminate the cause altogether, like omitting a specific food from their diet, some causes can be nearly impossible to totally eradicate, like dust mites or pollen. This is where a dog allergy supplement that is taken daily can help relieve your loved one of common allergens, even when you're not exactly sure what they are allergic to.

I took my dog to a Holistic vet for chronic anal gland issues. The impacted (stuff?) was infected. She did something to my dog in the other room that had her screaming several times in pain. See administered her with [pharmaceutical name removed] and told me to give it to her one more day. She also gave me [brand name removed] which I gave her once. The first night she had diarrhea all over the carpet and also threw up! When I called them the next day I was told me to stop it and start it back up when she was “normal” again. I didn’t get normal, so I didn’t start it back up. She now has a problem holding in her urine – which NEVER happened before. Their office is closed until Monday, but I am horribly concerned and don’t feel comfortable waiting. Are these holistic [name removed] safe for dogs with anal sac issues & infection? Thanks you!!!!!!
Hi Kristine,
We just saw your blog comment on our Vet Talks: Anal Gland Disease in Dogs and Cats post.
We’re so sorry to learn about your sweet pooch’s health, we can understand how stressful and uncomfortable it must have been . Yes, our supplements are safe to take alongside conventional vet treatment. You can feed them to your girl on a daily basis and as part of her preventative (and/or ongoing) dietary regimen. Our recommended regimen for your girl is
1. Yucca to help her manage her pain and reduce her inflammation. It also has herbs to help with gastrointestinal healing
2. either Plantaeris (for diarrhea) or Maris (for constipation) – dependent on her current bowel movements
3. Stimmune to help balance her immune health and histamine response
4. Lastly, First Aid Spray to help clear the external infection.
Keep us posted on how the vet visit went. We’re rooting for your sweetheart’s health! If there’s anything we can do, let us know. Sending lots of healing vibes and hugs to her. ♥
