How often should a Pomeranian’s anal glands be expressed?

It is generally best to express a Pomeranian’s anal glands about once a month, which you can do during bath time. If the dog scoots on the floor or licks its rear often, it is time to do it.

Left unexpressed, the buildup can cause inflammation, painful defecation, swelling, and a strong odor, so keep up the routine to prevent these problems.
