1. Anal gland problems: This is one of the most common causes. The anal glands are located on both sides of the anus and can sometimes become inflamed or blocked.
Care of the anal glands: Regular checking and cleaning of the anal glands can help to prevent problems.
Bellfor anal gland ointment: This ointment can help to relieve inflammation and support the health of the anal glands.
2. Allergies: Just like humans, dogs can develop allergies to certain foods, pollen or other environmental factors that can lead to skin irritation.
Bellfor Hypoallergenic Food: A specially formulated food that minimises allergy triggers can help reduce skin irritation and inflammation.
3. Parasites: Fleas, mites or worms can cause skin irritation and inflammation, especially in the anus area.
Prevention with Marsavet Spot-on: An effective way to keep parasites away and protect your dog.
4. Trauma: Sometimes an injury or a small cut can lead to inflammation and swelling.
