Not all dog owners are aware of the fact that dogs are equipped with anal glands. These are small glands found around the dog's anus on both sides. If we think of the dog's anus as a big clock, the glands will be found at approximately the 4 o' clock and the 8 o' clock position.
Glandex - Boot the Scoot! We tried everything to get rid of that horrible fishy oil coming from our dogs bottom! We finally resorted to emptying his anal glands, which is extremely gross, and can be very expensive if you require a vets assistance! Then we found Glandex!

Dogs can smell like many things, depending on what they have most recently rolled in, but one of the more unpleasant aromas dogs commonly develop is one of fish. If your dog smells like fish, it is probably not because he figured out how to spray himself with Eau de Sardine. A fishy odor is usually the result of secretions from the anal glands. These sacs are full of specialized sweat glands that produce an unpleasant secretion that acts as a scent marker for your dog. When your dog poops, these secretions pass onto the feces, letting other dogs know important chemical information about your dog.
