Dogs chewing at their rear ends may be one of two things (or a number of other more sinister things your veterinarian could probably tell you):

1) Their anal sacs are full and the pressure is bothering them

2) The dog has fleas; the rear end (just above the tail) is a common place for dogs to chew when any amount of fleas are on the animal.

Canned pumpkin can help to "clean out" a dog's digestive system, which may or may not have an effect on the anal sacs. Although, usually anal sacs must be expressed (emptied) by a veterinary professional.

If your dog has fleas, no the pumpkin will not help.
