Scooting has causes worth finding

Impacted or infected anal glands need emptying and sometimes treating, and a dog dragging along the carpet repeatedly should be seen rather than managed with a chew — the same behaviour also comes from worms, from itchy skin, and occasionally from something more serious. Fibre helps the mechanism that keeps glands emptying naturally, so this is a reasonable thing to add for the long run; it is not what you reach for when a dog is uncomfortable now. Bugalugs also supply no composition list or analytical constituents to us, so we cannot tell you which strains or how much fibre.

Why we chose it

It is one of the few gut supplements you can give a very young puppy, at 4 weeks, and puppies are exactly where digestion goes wrong. Fibre and probiotics together is also the right combination for scooting, which is the reason most people end up buying one of these.

— Matt, founder

Full description

Bum scooting is the symptom nobody wants to discuss and everybody eventually googles. It is usually about anal glands, and anal glands are often about stool consistency — which is where fibre and gut bacteria come into it, and why a chew like this exists at all rather than a cream.

Bugalugs make these as duck-flavoured chews, 120 to a tub, combining prebiotics and probiotics with added fibre. Their own list of what the chews are aimed at is specific: digestive support, bum scooting, anal gland support, itchy or smelly ears, and general gut health. They are suitable for all breeds and dog sizes over 4 weeks old, which is unusually young for a supplement.

Aimed at digestion, anal glands and gut health

Scooting has causes worth finding. Impacted or infected anal glands need emptying and sometimes treating, and a dog dragging along the carpet repeatedly should be seen rather than managed with a chew — the same behaviour also comes from worms, from itchy skin, and occasionally from something more serious. Fibre helps the mechanism that keeps glands emptying naturally, so this is a reasonable thing to add for the long run; it is not what you reach for when a dog is uncomfortable now. Bugalugs also supply no composition list or analytical constituents to us, so we cannot tell you which strains or how much fibre.

Who it's for: dogs with a history of anal gland trouble or loose stools, where a vet has already looked and the job now is keeping things steady.

My dog is scooting — is this enough?
