You should not give him any human food. The best food to give him is a complete dog food for large size dogs, preferably a good brand. Pumpkin is a good additive as it adds fiber and makes his stool voluminous, helping with digestion and evacuation of the anal sacs. There is no need to add yams or peas to his food if it is a "complete" food. You can feed boiled carrot pieces or green beans as treats.
