Billie’s Story: Immediate Impact of Nutrient Booster

The “little game-changer” That Fixed This Spoodle’s Anal Gland Issues

At just five years young Billie should be in the prime of his life, but gut issues had other plans. For two years, his poops were a race against the clock - a stressful sprint to the grass with the occasional accident. Because they were often too soft or inconsistent, his anal glands weren’t getting the natural pressure needed to express, leaving him uncomfortable and his family worried.

After trying higher-fibre diets and every “this one will work” tweak they could find, they were left frustrated and desperate for a solution for their beloved little Spoodle. That’s until Billie tried Nutrient Booster.

Billie has regular issues with his gut and bottom… he’s not able to express his anal glands naturally and we’ve been working on a higher fibre diet to help, but not having much luck.

The Results

Billie started Nutrient Booster, our once-daily multivitamin for dogs, sprinkled over his biscuits. At his weight (14kg), that meant just 1 tsp per day, with a dash of water to help it blend. 

His family noticed a real shift, and fast:

• Good poop consistency (firm, easy, predictable)

• Reduced anal gland build-up and discomfort

• Fewer tummy upsets

• Improved appetite

• Happy dog parents

“Since starting Billie on Updog, we’ve noticed a huge improvement. His anal gland issues have settled right down, and his poops are more regular and deliberate — less of a mad dash, more of a mindful moment. If your dog’s backend needs a hand, Updog might just be the cheeky little game-changer you’ve been looking for.”

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can a gut health supplement help with dog anal gland issues? Definitely! Firmer, well-formed stools apply natural pressure that can help anal glands express during pooping. A daily gut supplement that supports stool quality and regularity may reduce build-up for some dogs.

Why does my dog have soft stools and anal gland problems? Common triggers include diet changes, low fibre, food sensitivities, stress or a disrupted gut microbiome. Soft or inconsistent stools don’t create enough pressure to express glands. Supporting the gut–stool consistency link often helps.

How long does Nutrient Booster take to work? Many owners report noticeable changes in 2–4 weeks with daily use. Billie’s family saw improvements at around 3 weeks, with continued benefits over the following months. Results vary by dog, diet and consistency of use.
