  1. Im using the aloe, salt, and water mixture on my big dog?? Unbelievable….This has been helping my dog so much!! I couldn't believe it. All the red inflamed skin is back to normal. There is no sign of pain or discomfort. The back and forth with the vet was getting old and expensive. My dog weighs over 100 pounds. He's not getting any younger either. I have never seen an anal gland problem in a dog his size. He's on the mend now, though, thanks to your awesome advice ❤

  2. One small suggestion. If you have to do the digital anal procedure, do it outside. My dogs, the pressure in the gland sprayed across the room onto the vets office wall, and the smell was nasty.

  3. When I was grooming they always wanted us to express their anal glands and most of the times I wondered why I like 90% of the time, there was absolutely nothing in the sacks and I felt that doing so was probably doing a disservice to the dogs being able to take care of those sacs naturally

  4. Thanks to this video!!!! My 10lb chihuahua has been scooting for quite a while. She would not let me even lift her tail but when I could see her anus it was not inflamed. So I put her in the laundry room sink where I wash her and ran warm water over her bottom and then began to wash her anus not being able to see. She cried at first and then enjoyed the warm water rushing to her anus. Something came out of her anus and washed away. Now she is so relieved and happy. No more scooting!!! WOWIE!!!! Thank You Dr Jones!!

  5. Is the honey bee propolis the one that says throat spray? It’s the only spray I’m seeing when looking it up. Want to make sure I’m getting the correct bottle for my pup who has been licking her under side and scooting a little 🤔

  6. @VeterinarySecrets Any idea why a big male dog is expressing his anal glands in the middle of the night with no stressors to set him off or startle him at all? I do believe there is licking involved. Could really use your help here. I took notes on your recommendations and will be implementing them on said dog. Thank you for all the wonderful, highly effective remedies you provide us with❣️😊💜

  7. I give my dog 2 soaks a week 15m ! Epsom salt 1c fill a tub till it covers their butt ! Viola

    I got a plastic tub for him to sit in depending on the size of your dog !

  8. While I feel very confident that I could express the glands on my Shichon if she needed it, I can 💯 say there is no way my 13 lb sweet girl would appreciate me poking my gloved finger into her anus. My pup gets some great walks (healthy for her and me), but I’ll add some ground flax in her food. She rarely scoots her bum around so I’m thinking she’s okay 🤞🏼 (for now). You sniffing Tula’s little bum = priceless. She sure is a great patient.

  9. Worldwide viewers, this Vet is naturopathic in his approach and is excellent. Please subscribe
    He is from British Columbia in Canada, that leans more naturopathic. Govt needs to support these University trained vets who also learn good less intrusive methods, when appropriate.

  10. Dr Jones. My dog she's 13 years old. Malamute. Lately she struggles to get up. She does have fatty limps. I try to push her over, but she got aggressive towards me. What can I do?

  11. Hey Doc, is it possible my dog just has occasional "itchy butt"? Never has stinky smell. And I try to express maybe every other bath. Seems totally OK back, but does scoot maybe 1 or 2 x a week.
