I went to dog grooming school in 1988. We were NEVER taught to do anal glands and were told it was a vets job, which I still believe to this day. Vets want us to do them because they do not!
It is an internal condition that should be off limits to groomers in my opinion. I learned from my grooming instructors that glands that are expressed in excess can do harm. It's like fixing something that isn't broken.
Vets want us to do anal glands, well where do they draw the line? How about giving shots? I won't even give vet advice, which they should appreciate. I refuse to do their dirty work.
