Short answer

Yes, a few small pieces of pitted peach flesh are safe for dogs. The main risk is the pit, which contains trace cyanide and is a choking or blockage hazard. Just watch your dog for signs of an upset stomach like vomiting or diarrhea. If you see those, it's best to check in with your vet.
