Anal Gland Expression Services - Limited Spots Available

Le Pawsh has partnered with a registered veterinary technician to offer proper internal gland expression. This service will be a quick 5 to 10-minute appointment and will take place on select Sundays. We are starting this service with limited available slots, so be sure to book sooner rather than later if you are interested.

Gland Expression Service: Sunday, 02/09, 9 am - 1 pm

Gland Expression with Combo (nails, ear cleaning, teeth brushing)

At Le Pawsh, we are dedicated to the health and safety of your pup. Though frequently requested, we have not offered anal gland expression services. The reasoning behind this is the typical grooming method involves squeezing externally to express. This can lead to trauma, partial expression, and infection.

What are anal glands?

Every dog has small sacs located on either side of their anus. They produce a fluid that smells awful and is typically expressed when defecating. However, some dogs struggle with expression, resulting in fluid build-up, discomfort, and possible infection.

Does my dog need this service?

Signs your dog needs this service include scooting, licking, discomfort or difficulty defecating, discomfort when sitting, swelling around the anus, and if you notice a foul fishy odor.

Schedule Gland Expression Service

Our Events page will host all subsequent Gland Expression services and will be updated as new events are planned.

 Have You Heard of Our Soothing Paw Soak?

Our soothing paw soak treatment, available as an Addition, disinfects, prevents bacterial and fungal growth, is anti-inflammatory, and offers relief for itchy paws. If you notice that your pup excessively licks at their paws, has dry fungal growth on the pads, or if their pads are constantly oily, this service can help. This is a natural treatment, not a solution. We would love to speak with you about how the different potential causes during your next visit.
