How to help boot the scoot!

YuMOVE Anal Gland Health bites support your dog’s digestive health by bulking and firming poos to support the natural emptying of anal glands. If their poos aren’t firm enough, their glands can fill up, leading to scooting, licking, and an unpleasant fishy smell.

YuMOVE Anal Gland Health bites are made with natural ingredients including soluable and insoluable fibre from pumpkin seed and apple pectin, plus Omega-3 from Algal Oil.  Prebiotics and probiotics also help promote the population of good bacteria in the gut microbiome that supports the immune system.

YuMOVE Anal Gland Health and YuMOVE Probiotic & Fibre are both great for helping bulk up your dog’s poos and support the natural emptying of their anal glands. 

One of the main differences is the way in which they’re fed. YuMOVE Anal Gland Health are tasty bites, which can be fed like a treat, while YuMOVE Probiotic & Fibre is a powder you sprinkle over food. 

YuMOVE Probiotic & Fibre contains higher levels of dietary fibre than YuMOVE Anal Gland Health, making it a great choice for dogs who need more fibre in their diet. 

Additionally, YuMOVE Anal Gland Health contains Omega-3s from Algal Oil to help support the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response. 

If your dog has been scooting across the floor, licking more than usual, or you've noticed a strong fishy smell coming from their bottom, it could be a sign their anal glands need attention. YuMOVE Anal Gland Health bites can help by supporting the natural emptying of anal glands to reduce unwanted behaviours. If you have concerns about your dog’s anal glands, please talk to your vet.

Some breeds are more likely to experience blocked anal glands than others. Smaller breeds – like Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Cockapoos, Shih-tzus, the Bichon Frises seem to be most commonly affected. That said, anal gland issues can happen to any dog, so it’s important to know the signs and speak to your vet if you have concerns.

Other reasons your dog’s anal glands might become full or blocked:

• Allergic skin conditions
• Food allergies
• Ongoing digestive issues in dogs
• Obesity
• Parasites like worms
• A diet that’s too low in fibre
• Anatomical differences – for example, dogs with narrower gland openings

If your dog is struggling with recurring anal gland issues, your vet can help investigate the underlying cause and suggest ways to help manage it.

Probiotic & Fibre is designed to be sprinkled over your dog’s usual food, but you can also mix it with a little warm water to create a paste for a lick mat. Just feed straight away once it’s mixed.

Anal Gland Health bites are chicken flavoured bites for dogs are suitable from 12 weeks old and are taken daily.

Yes – both Probiotic & Fibre and Anal Gland Health Bites can be given from 3 months old. For dogs with ongoing tummy concerns or toileting troubles, it’s always best to check with your vet.
