This is another difficult question to answer since while the procedure is not very difficult per se, the amount of money you can expect to pay for it differs from clinic to clinic and city to city. With that said, it is not an expensive procedure so there is no need to worry that you will need to save up a lot of money.From what we’ve been able to find, expressing a dog’s glands shouldn’t cost you more than $30 and in some places, you might be able to find it as cheap as $10. Thus, it depends a lot on how much you are willing to pay and on how many different clinics you may have available in your area.If you’re on a budget or you want to know beforehand how much money you can expect to pay, you can always call clinics around your area and ask them about the price they ask for this procedure.  Additionally, you can also have the glands expressed by a groomer which is usually much cheaper than having it done by a vet in a clinic. The problem here is that a groomer will never do a better job than a vet and if you care about your pet, then the right approach is to give it the best professional help it can get no matter how much it may cost you.There are also some cases in which the veterinary team may teach the owner how to express the anal glands at home. This is usually done with dogs who have serious problems and need their glands expressed frequently.With that said, if this is the first time that your dog needs its glands expressed, it is better to go to a veterinarian and have him or her advise you on what to do next.
