1. Irritated Anal Glands
Research shows that one of the most common causes of scooting is discomfort in the anal glands. These two small sacs are meant to empty naturally when they poop, but only if their stool is firm enough.
When digestion is poor or stools are too soft, the glands don’t get the pressure they need. This leads to build-up, swelling, and that uncomfortable, itchy, scooting behaviour.
The best way to help keep those glands clear, is by supporting your dogs digestion with probiotics.

2. Parasites
Tapeworms or other intestinal parasites can cause serious irritation around the rear, making dogs scoot or lick excessively.
Most people don't realise that this often stems from poor gut health, that weakens the immune system, which then fails to defend against threats like worms and bad bacteria.
That’s why it’s so important to strengthen the gut and immune system naturally, with probiotics and vitamins. This helps create an environment where parasites and harmful bacteria will struggle to thrive.
3. (Seasonal) Allergies
Did you know that around 80% of your dog’s immune cells are located in their gut? So when the gut is out of balance, it weakens your dog’s immune system, making them more sensitive to allergens like pollen, dust, grass, and even certain foods.
This inflammation doesn’t just show up as itchy skin or paw licking… it can also cause irritation around the rear, leading to scooting.
So it's important to support your dog’s immune system with key nutrients like Omega-3's and vitamins (A, C, D3) to reduce allergic reactions like scooting.

Frequently Asked Questions
But what if my dog doesn't want to eat the chews?
In the rare case that this happens, we’ll send you a replacement flavour (chicken or beef) for free.
If your dog doesn’t like that one either, we’ll issue a full refund—no problem.
At what age can my pup start using these?
The Multivitamin is suitable for dogs of all ages and breeds. However, we do recommend dogs begin to incorporate the chews into their daily routine starting at an age of 3 months or older.
What does 100% Human-Grade mean?
Most pet supplements from other brands contain palm oil, fillers, artificial flavoring, preservatives, etc. At VitalPaws, we’re raising the standards of pet health by only using the highest quality human-grade ingredients, which is what our best friends deserve.
How long until I start seeing the benefits?
The benefits that most dogs feel—less itching, more activity, better mood—are just bonuses to improving their long-term health. If taken consistently on a daily basis, most dogs will start to see positive effects in about 6-8 weeks.
How many chews come in a jar?
There are 60 Chews in each jar, which is a 2-month supply for Small Dogs (0-12kg).
Medium dogs (12-34kg) will need a monthly frequency.
Bigger dogs (34kg+) will need a 3-weekly frequency.
What flavour is the Multivitamin?
Our Multivitamin is made with the highest quality human-grade chicken liver, a flavor that dogs absolutely love. In the case of a chicken allergy, we recommend our Beef flavour!
What happens if I accidentally give my dog too many chews?
In the event that your dog accidentally consumes significantly more than the daily recommended dose, consult your vet for advice.
Can I take this dog multivitamin with other supplements?
Our veterinary team formulated our Daily Vitamin with natural ingredients that can be taken both alone or as a complementary product with other common and more targeted pet supplements. Nevertheless, we still recommend checking with your vet.
