A survey of the incidence of anal sacculitis in the dog based on a population of 3,053 dogs treated at two urban practices, one in England and one in Australia, showed that 12‐5% of dogs presented at clinics were affected with anal sacculitis. No predisposition in the dogs or selectivity on the part of the disease was found in relation to breed, sex, age or geographical distribution.
