Does it smell when a dogs anal glands drain?
Yes it does. You should take your dog in to your Veterinarian to have the anal glands checked out and expressed too. You want to make sure they are not infected.

Normally a cat does this themselves, and you won't need to do it for them unless they have something wrong with them that keeps them from being able to do it. If that is the case, you may need to do it about once a month. The cat may drag its bottom along on the floor if there is an obstruction, which would mean you would need to express the anal sacs (they aren't really glands). But normal cats don't need your help with this.

Express anal glands dachshund?
Expressing anal glands on a dog, especially when your not 100% certain how to do it, can result in perforating the anal sacs. Make a appointment with your vet who will do these for you. Usually you shouldn't need to express your dogs anal glands manually as the dog will generally do this on their own. Anal glands are expressed naturally when your dog has a bowel movement. If your dog has been scooting on the floor, biting their anus or if there is a rash or swelling of the anus then take your dog to the vet. A infection will not be erradicated by expressing glands manually...this only makes it more comfortable for the dog and does not treat the infection. Medication will be required.
