Hi, could you tell me if homemade treats are safe for a puppy? Is it OK to eat treats made from apple and greek yogurt, bananas and oats, nanana and peanut butter? What else from human food is safe for a puppy?

Yes, homemade treats are fine. There are plenty of recipes you can find online on how to make homemade treats. All the ingredients you list are OK and there are MANY more. Just google some homemade treat recipes for dogs and go from there. Just be sure you are not feeding too many calories. A lot of treats are not good especially for small breed dogs. Here is one website for you to look at: https://www.cesarsway.com/dog-care/nutrition/recipes-for-quick-and-healthy-dog-treats Hope this helps!
