Health & WellbeingIs it just pumpkin that's good for anal glands or is other produce good for anal glands as well. Right now I'm giving my 17 pound dog 2 tablespoons of fruitables digestive supplement for her anal glands along with her 2/3 of a cup of kibble a day. Ca
Pumpkin is good because it adds fiber to the diet leading to regular defecation, and when a dog has regular stools, that helps express the anal sacs. In fact, pumpkin is recommended to give to dogs when they are constipated. For her digestive health and anal sacs, pumpkin would be the best to give her, but as a treat, you can switch out to another tablespoon of veggies every now and then :-)
