Dog owners know that sometimes their pets try to eat everything they see, so they have to be careful with that habit.

Meanwhile, not everything except for special dog food is bad for your pet - some foods can actually be pretty beneficial for their health.

Here are a few examples you should know about.

Pumpkin

It's not just for Halloween! Pumpkin is a healthy food for dogs. 

It's low in calories and high in fiber, which can aid digestion.

You can give your dog small amounts of coconut oil or coconut meat as an occasional treat.
