WHAT TO EXPECT

Help Break the Monthly Gland Cycle.

  • Helps reduce scooting, licking & fishy gland odor
  • Supports firmer, healthier stools
  • Supports natural gland emptying

One soft chew daily. Dogs love the taste. Most owners notice visible improvements within 3–6 weeks of consistent daily use.

Why it works

Your dog is scooting again.

Healthy digestion creates firm, well-formed stools. Those stools apply the natural pressure that empties the anal glands. When digestion is compromised, that chain breaks — and scooting, discomfort, and recurring gland problems follow.

Gut & Gland firms stools with fibre, probiotics, and enzymes — supporting natural gland expression and a healthier digestive system.

Is this right for your dog?

What Most Owners Don't Realize

Most modern dog diets don’t provide the dietary fibre or targeted gut support needed to maintain healthy, consistent digestion. Without it, stool quality becomes unpredictable — and inconsistent stools are the most common reason anal gland issues keep recurring and becoming progressively harder to manage.

Poor digestive health creates a recurring cycle. Soft stools fail to apply the pressure needed to empty the glands naturally. The glands accumulate fluid. Discomfort builds. Scooting and dragging follow, until the next manual expression. And the cycle starts again. Addressing stool quality at the source is the only way to break it.

Anal glands are small sacs located on either side of a dog's rectum. Under normal conditions, they empty naturally when pressure is applied during a firm, well-formed bowel movement. This process happens automatically — most dog owners never need to think about it.

When stools are consistently soft, small, or irregular, that natural pressure may not be sufficient. The glands may not empty fully, fluid can accumulate, and discomfort, scooting, and the need for manual expression can follow — and if left unaddressed, glands can become impacted or infected. This is why treating the underlying digestive cause, not just the symptoms, is the more effective long-term approach.

Supporting stool quality is the most effective long-term approach — because unmanaged, recurring gland issues can progress to impaction or infection.

Real questions. Honest answers.

The things owners actually want to know before trying something new.

Scooting is usually linked to digestive and anal gland issues. This formula supports healthy digestion, firm stools, and healthy gland function — the most common underlying causes.
Healthy anal glands rely on healthy, firm stools for natural emptying. That’s why digestive support plays such an important role in maintaining healthy gland function.
Yes. This formula is designed to support healthy gland function by promoting better digestion and firmer stools — the key to natural gland emptying.
Yes. This formula was created to support healthy digestion and stool quality, helping promote firmer, more consistent stools.
Many pet parents notice improvements within a few weeks, though every dog is different. Consistent daily use typically delivers the best results.
Yes. Gut & Gland Support is designed for everyday use as part of a consistent wellness routine.
For many dogs, yes — over time. This formula targets the root cause: stools that aren't firm enough to apply the natural pressure needed to empty the glands. As stool quality improves, many dogs begin expressing naturally, reducing or eliminating manual expressions. Results typically appear within 4–8 weeks. If your dog has impacted or infected glands, see your vet first.
Daily digestive support is often far more affordable than repeated gland expressions — and considerably more so when issues progress to infection or more involved vet care.
Yes. Many customers combine formulas to support multiple areas of wellness, such as digestion, mobility, skin health, or calming support.
Yes. Many owners use this proactively for healthier digestion, firmer stools, and better gut balance — not just for scooting. It's also useful for dogs with digestive sensitivity, irregular stools, or picky eating.
Dietary fibre creates firm, bulky stools that apply the natural pressure needed to empty the anal glands during bowel movements. Without it, stools become too soft or small to trigger this process — and the glands don't empty properly.
Plain pumpkin provides basic soluble fiber — useful, but limited. This formula combines two forms of pumpkin fiber with apple pectin, probiotics, digestive enzymes, quercetin, and vitamins C and E. It addresses stool quality, gut microbiome balance, and the inflammation behind recurring gland issues. Plain pumpkin alone rarely resolves persistent problems.
Gland impaction happens when stools are too soft to apply the pressure needed to empty the glands naturally. This formula addresses that directly — firmer, more consistent stools that trigger natural emptying each time your dog goes. For dogs with a history of impaction, consistent daily use is important. If impaction has already occurred, see your vet first, then use this as part of your prevention plan.
A Healthier Appetite Follows.

As digestive health improves, many pet owners notice their dog becoming more consistent and enthusiastic around mealtimes.
