Almost every pet owner has dealt with it: the scoot. Owners of small breeds especially know what we’re talking about. One minute your pup is snoozing, and the next, they’re frantically wiping their behind all over your white carpet. What’s an awkward and inconvenient stain for you is actually a cry for help from your pup – they’re likely experiencing backed-up anal glands.
Thankfully, you can now support healthy gut flora with a simple sprinkle of our latest tasty topper. Our triple-fiber formula is specially formulated to target all the components of healthy anal gland expression and overall digestive health, so your dog (and your carpets) can feel relief.
Does my dog need WonderGland?
When anal glands become over-filled or irritated, they can swell and enlarge, making “the go” feel like a no-go for your pup. It can happen due to anything from diet to narrow gland ducts, but they all cause the anal sacs not to properly empty. This uncomfortable feeling can cause:
- Scooting or dragging their behind on the ground
- A fishy odor or foul smell
- Excessive licking of their hind end
- Discomfort when walking or sitting
- Constipation
- Straining to poop
- Redness and swelling near their rear end
- Bleeding in the anal area
- Leaking of anal gland fluid
Often times, your veterinarian or groomer will ask if you would like your dog’s anal glands to be expressed in conjunction with other services you may be getting when they have appointments. But we guarantee your dog would prefer this fiber-packed supplement so they can naturally express their anal glands themselves to another awkward appointment at the groomer!
How does WonderGland work?
WonderGland helps dogs with anal gland issues and anal gland problems naturally express themselves when they have bowel movements.
The key to our supplement lies in supporting solid stools from start to finish. In order for dogs’ anal glands to empty normally, they need the gentle pressure of large, healthy, firm stools. Our science-backed formula includes ingredients that target the main components of healthy anal gland function:
1. Bulking Their Stool – Consistently soft stools are one of the top reasons why dogs are not able to naturally express their own anal glands when they go #2. WonderGland contains non-fermentable, insoluble fibers that bulk up stool for firm, healthy poops. Our recipe includes:
- Miscanthus Grass: A great source of insoluble fiber, which soaks up water in the intestinal tract and bulks up stool.
- Carob powder: A naturally sweet, high-fiber, and antioxidant-rich ingredient that has a strong binding effect.
2. Digestion – In addition to helping with anal gland expression, WonderGland promotes a healthy gut microbiome to actively prevent loose stools. Our formula uses:
- Pumpkin powder: Contains a high ratio of soluble-to-insoluble fiber that allows it to pass through the digestive tract without irritation.
- Digestawell: A prebiotic supplement that supports healthy digestive function. It includes Mannan oligosaccharides (MOS), Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), Organic Acid Blend (fumaric, citric, lactic, and malic), and Beta-Glucans.
- B. Subtilis (Probiotic): Crowds out bacterial pathogens to support overall immune health and maintains healthy gut flora.
3. Immune Support – Creates a general anti-inflammatory response to ensure smooth digestive function. Our formula has:
- Animal plasma: Rich in functional proteins, and scientifically proven to reduce intestinal inflammation.
How do I use WonderGland?
It’s easy! Sprinkle it over dry or wet food. Use 1 scoop (1 tbsp) for every 20lbs of body weight. Example: A 30lb dog would receive 2 scoops.
- Small (<20 lbs) 1 scoop
- Medium (21-40 lbs) 2 scoops
- Large (41-60 lbs) 3 scoops
- Extra Large (61+ lbs) 4 scoops
