Hi everyone! I adopted my dog about 4 months ago, and since then, I’ve noticed that she likely has a chicken allergy. I switched her to Hill’s Science Diet with Pollock, and it seems to be helping with her itching.
The main issue is her anal glands fill up pretty quickly. She’s on Glandex and pumpkin, but I still find myself needing to express them every 1-2 weeks. I don’t mind doing it, and she seems relieved after, but I’m wondering if this frequency is normal or if it could cause any issues over time.
Is there anything else I can try to help her with anal gland health?
