Prunes, apricots and figs are all good additions to your doggies home cooked meals. These add beneficial fiber to the diet, which can ward off anal gland issues. Always make water readily available for your dog, as the added fiber could cause constipation if they do not have enough water to drink.
For a small dog, start off with about 1/2 piece of the dried fruit, chop in small pieces...you can stir in with yogurt, sprinkle over squash, add to oatmeal...be creative. Feed about every other day so your dog's digestive system can adapt to the change.
Note: If your dog has any issues with yeast infections, this problem can be made worse by feeding foods containing sugar, including fruit.
