I would think any good fibre would help with keeping the anal glands empty, Bran Flakes, Bran Buds....or maybe something like Metamucil? One vet I worked with always used to suggest Bran Flakes added to a dogs diet...and usually the results were good to keep the anal glands empty. It's not common for large dogs, eating a good healthy diet to have problems with anal glands. I've had numerous dogs in the last 30 years and the only dogs that had problems were the miniature Poodles. Also..all my dogs h ave always eaten fruits and veggies through the years too.
