The Essential Guides to
Ear Infections and Anal Glands in Allergic Dogs
Ear infections and anal glands are two of the most common reasons why an allergic dog is brought to the veterinarian or groomer. That's why I created a resource about these topics!
55%
At least half of all allergic dogs suffer from otitis externa. This can be frustrating, painful, and unrelenting.
70%
Many allergic dogs suffer from anal gland issues at some point. This can be disruptive, uncomfortable, and...smelly.
