Firms Soft StoolsSupports Natural EmptyingCalms the Scoot

Scooting across the rug, licking back there, that fishy smell on the couch. They're not random. They're signs the anal glands aren't emptying.

Glands are meant to empty when firm stool presses past them. Every chew has a 1,100 mg fiber blend (psyllium, pumpkin, beet pulp and apple pectin) plus a hardy probiotic to support the firm, well-formed stool that does the job, so you're not booking the same squeeze every few weeks.

Benefits

1Supports firm, well-formed stools
Psyllium, beet pulp, pumpkin and apple pectin hold water and add bulk, giving stool the shape and firmness it needs.
2Supports natural gland emptying
A firm stool presses on the anal glands on the way out. That's how they're designed to empty, without a trip to the vet.
3Supports a balanced gut
A spore-forming Bacillus probiotic is built to survive stomach acid and support steady, predictable digestion.
4Less scooting, licking and odor
When glands empty the way they should, there's less reason to drag, lick and bite back there.

What most owners aren't told

Why it keeps coming back

2,256 of 2,372

Most gland problems end with a squeeze

In a UK study of dogs with gland problems, almost every one had the glands emptied by hand. It brings relief, but it doesn't change why they filled up.

O'Neill et al., Vet Record 2021 (VetCompass)
90% water

A spoon of pumpkin isn't much fiber

Canned pumpkin is about 90% water. A teaspoon has roughly 0.15 g of fiber. Your vet was right about fiber. The spoon is the problem.

USDA FoodData Central, canned pumpkin
Week 1-2

The first sign is in the poop bag

Firmer, better-formed stool shows up before the scooting stops. Check the bag in week 1 to 2, so you know it's working instead of guessing for two months.

Not always

Soft stool isn't the only cause

Skin allergies were the most common problem found alongside gland infections in a study of 190 dogs. If your dog also licks its paws or ears, talk to your vet. Wellby helps when soft stool is the reason.

Why we built it

Fix the stool, and the glands fix themselves

Many anal gland products throw a long list of ingredients at the problem. But glands are designed to empty on their own. What stops them is stool that's too soft to press on them. So we built a chew that works on the stool first.

How we raise the bar

A 1,100 mg fiber blend, not a sprinkle

Psyllium, beet pulp, pumpkin and apple pectin hold water and add bulk, giving stool the shape and firmness to press on the glands.

A probiotic that survives the trip

Stomach acid destroys many probiotic strains before they reach the gut. Bacillus coagulans is spore-forming, built to survive the journey.

A Chihuahua isn't a Lab

One-size dosing means small dogs get too much and big dogs too little. Wellby is dosed by weight: 1, 2 or 3 chews a day.

Honestly, I noticed her poop first. It looked more formed, and I wasn’t seeing her scoot across the rug as often.

    Took a little patience

    I expected a faster change, but around week three I noticed less licking and no more fishy smell. Consistency seemed important for us.

    Our four-year-old dog eats one without any fuss. His poop looks firmer and the carpet scooting has almost completely stopped.

    Gradual but noticeable

    It took close to a month before I saw a real difference. We are now seeing fewer scooting episodes and much less licking.

FAQs

How many chews should I give?
Under 25 lbs: 1 chew a day. 25-75 lbs: 2 a day. Over 75 lbs: 3 a day. Start with half the dose for the first week.
How long until it works?
Firmer stools are usually the first change, often within 1 to 3 weeks. Check the poop bag first. Give it daily for a full 8 weeks.
I already use another gland chew. Should I switch?
Compare the labels first: fiber in mg, dose by weight, and a probiotic strain with a CFU number. If you switch, start Wellby when your current tub runs out, at half the dose for the first week.
My dog has no symptoms. Should I still give it?
If your dog is a higher-risk breed, has had a gland expression before, or often has soft stools, yes. See our guide: Start before the scoot (/pages/no-signs-yet).
Can I just use canned pumpkin?
Canned pumpkin is about 90% water, so a teaspoon has very little fiber, and the right amount is hard to get. Wellby gives a measured fiber blend plus a probiotic in one chew.
How does shipping work?
Free tracked shipping on every subscription, on 2 or more tubs, and on a tub plus our wipes or anything else. Only a single one-time tub ships for $6.95.
How does the subscription work?
You get the same supply on a schedule at a lower price, with free shipping. Skip, pause or cancel anytime from your account.
What if it doesn't work for my dog?
You're covered by the 60-Day Promise. Contact us within 60 days and we'll refund you. If your dog also has itchy paws or ears, talk to your vet: allergies can be part of the picture.
