Groomers try to express the anal glands, but they really can’t do it as well as a vet. My friend’s dog needs it done at least once every two or three months, and the groomer just can’t get it all.
Vets do this procedure as a regular routine for guide dogs and service dogs. A blind person cannot work with a dog if a collection of other males are hovering around him.

Seems that humans too still have anal glands. But only one paper from 1961 broaches the subject.

I love dogs, but this is another reason I am not getting one. Thanks mr Crane for enlightening me.
