[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 54452, member: 2389"] The anal glands are on either side of the rectum. You simply apply pressure at 9:00 and 3:00 and if there is no problem with them they will express. This is done while the dog is in the tub and the fluid can quickly be washed off. It is the worse smell you could imagine and you want to wash it away asap. Large breeds usually express them on their own when passing feces, it is an "indentification" marker that all dogs have. This is the reason your dog smells where another dog has gone. Each dog is different and once you have a problem with the glands they need to be checked mthly so they don't become infected again. You can express them, your vet or groomer, worse case you can have them removed. [/QUOTE]
