When a dog drags its bottom along the ground we call it “scooting”. Intestinal Worms or anal glands can be the cause of this common problem. A visit to the veterinary clinic to check the glands would be the best option to determine the cause.

Should I book in my pet for cat desexing or dog desexing?

Some reasons owners choose to undertake cat desexing and dog desexing is:

• to reduce the likelihood of roaming (runaways), being hit by cars and dog/cat fight injuries
• to reduce council registration fees
