So, if you notice that your furry friend squirms on their bottom more often, it might be helpful to consider natural remedies like our intestinal herbs. After all, a healthy gut is not only important for us humans, but also for our beloved four-legged friends!
Your dog is sliding on his bottom – are the anal glands to blame?
If your dog is skidding, there can be several reasons. A common cause is a problem with the anal glands. These small glands are located at your dog's anus and produce a fluid that is released when they defecate. If the anal glands are blocked or inflamed, it can cause discomfort, leading your dog to try to relieve themselves by skidding. Blocked anal glands are often caused by soft stools, which prevents the glands from emptying.

Digestive problems such as constipation or diarrhea can cause your dog to experience unpleasant sensations in the anus area, and they may try to relieve themselves by sliding on their bottom.
If you notice your dog frequently squatting, it's important to determine the cause. In most cases, feeding our intestinal herbs can help improve stool consistency.
Our intestinal herbs consist of high-quality natural herbs that help keep your dog's digestion in balance. Herbs such as caraway, peppermint, and yarrow are known for their beneficial intestinal properties.
It's important to pay close attention to your dog and react immediately if you notice irregularities in defecation. However, the best approach is prevention to prevent anal gland problems from occurring in the first place.
