If you’ve ever had that embarrassing moment when you have a room full of friends and then suddenly your dog does the “butt drag,” in front of them, you (and your friends) are probably wondering what the heck is going on.
Rover isn’t being purposely tacky. He may just have one or a few issues going on and, in his poochy manner, is trying to relieve his discomfort.
It would certainly be much easier if dogs could speak, telling us why they are doing such an inappropriate action, but since they can’t it is up to the pet owner and vet to figure out why they are rubbing their behinds on the ground, floor and carpet!
Check out the next page and uncover a couple of reasons why poor Spot has decided to embarrass you in front of your company!

Butt dragging combined with scratching of the ears can also mean an allergy. My dog was doing this and the vet suggested she might be allergic to wheat…..sure enough, when we stopped giving her food with wheat in it, she stopped the behavior. So if all else fails, you might want to check this.

Our Scottie used to do it. Scotties have a tendency to get impacted, so when we saw it we called the vet.

Their$#%&!@*sacs need expressing, when they drag their rears on the floor. hAve had pugs for many years and this is very common, especially in the smaller breeds.

My super long hair doxie was doing this when she had little tangles and matts in the hair on the backs of her hind legs . We get her a “summer-cut” in the late spring because she’s too hot in summer with the long hair, plus she’s a digger and comes in way to dirty otherwise.
