Your dog’s anal glands are telling us something
Dogs with anal sac issues are often dogs with allergies. That is why, as a Board Certified Veterinary Dermatologist®, I have developed a special interest in them.
That's right—I am interested in ears...and rears.


Instead of frequent expression that only helps for so long...
We can approach these cases differently
It seems that whenever dogs have anal gland issues, the only choice is to express them and hope for the best. Aside from a supplement or two, there isn't much else out there to help dogs and their owners with anal sacculitis symptoms like scooting, licking, leaking, or smelling.
3 weeks
This is the average time anal sac expression provides relief for a dog with allergic anal sacculitis.
45%
Roughly half of all dogs with allergies will have some issue with their anal glands at some point in their lifetime.

Sadie’s case
Sadie is a Viszla who came to me as a third opinion for chronic anal gland leakage. When she walked into my exam room, she was wearing a diaper, bleeding from her anal glands. Everyone, especially Sadie, was miserable. Nothing had helped her - frequent expression, steroids, diets, supplements, fiber, and more.
So, I took a different approach to her case, and she is now 1 year free of symptoms. Living her best life.
There are many dogs like Sadie - that's why I made this course.
Beyond Expression - A Modern Guide to Anal Gland Health is the premier resource for veterinarians, groomers, and pet owners to learn about non-cancerous anal sac disease and symptoms in dogs.
This course is an update for us all, so we can change how we approach these cases - and how we see these dogs.


You are here for a reason. Either you are a professional who helps dogs with allergies and anal sac issues. Or, you are a dog owner whose dog mysteriously leaked on your pants when you were heading out for a function and you just can't understand why. This course is for you - all of you. We can all do better for these dogs. I show you the way.
