Yes, although I don't know why you would want to. Commercial dog food is very carefully blended to have the right balance of nutrients and all the reputable brands have a great deal of scientific research behind their formulae. Adding a supplement like wheat dextrin could throw off the balance of nutrients. Also, some dogs are allergic to wheat products, so adding wheat dextrin could cause an allergic skin reaction.
However, if you are advised by your veterinarian to add wheat dextrin, I would follow your vet's advise as he will know more about your dog's particular medical status and have a reason for adding the supplement.

Why does your dog sometimes wakes you up in the middle of the night to go out and eat grass?
One possible reason is that she has indigestion and is feeling unwell. Dogs eat grass to induce vomiting, or to add missing nutrients to their diet. Consider reviewing what you feed your pet; you may have to make some changes. In general, avoid such suspect dogfood ingredients as: corn, soy, ethoxyquin, BHA and BHT, polypropelene glycol and wheat gluten. Use a premium brand of kibble, or research the raw diet for dogs. It may also be that she has an allergy to chicken, wheat, or another common item. Grass is hard to digest; If she continues to eat it, I strongly advise that you take her to the vet
