[nagdu] Pumpkin dog treaks and dog dreams

[Mark J. Cadigan]

John and Mike,

At the risk of being disgusting, those of you with sensitive stomachs stop 
reading now, the pumpkin works by firming up the dog's waist product. The 
pressure this exerts on the anal glands is what fixes the problem.



Next time your dog goes #2, win you pick it up, squish it between your 
fingers in the bag. Is it solid like the consistency of playdo? If so, this 
should help express the dog's anal glands. If not, add more pumpkin.



Another thing you can do is have your dog's veterinarian squeeze out the 
anal glands.



Another thought, is what type of food your dog is currently eating. Some 
foods produce a more solid waist precluding the need to add pumpkin.



HTH

Mark
