Are homemade banana, PB, chicken stock treats safe for allergic pups?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 26 days old | 37 lbs

Hey, I wanna make homemade snacks for my pup, because she's allergic to most of the store ones. Is this recipe safe for almost 5 month old GSD puppy? 1 banana, 1/2 cups peanut butter, 1/3 cups chicken stock, 1 cup wheat flour. All baked together. Sorry for silly question, just wanted to make sure they are fine for my baby. :)

This recipe does not contain any harmful ingredients and should be fine for the occasional treat for Pharah. Please make sure that the chicken stock you use does not contain any onion or garlic as these can be toxic to dogs. As with any new food or treat you want to ensure you only give a small amount at first and do not continue to give if Pharah has any vomiting or diarrhea develop after trying the treat. Also, because peanut butter is high in fat it is best not to give too many of these treats.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and best wishes to you and Pharah!
