Homemade plain pancakes are fine as long as you don't overdo it. Too much sugar is bad for people and dogs.

As long as you mostly avoid anything with those ingredients, a dog can pretty much eat anything a person can. For thousands of years, dogs lived almost exclusively on people food leftover scraps.

That being said, most dogs are a pretty pain diet, and quickly changing to a different diet can cause stomach issues, so keep the table scraps very light until you know how they'll react.

Also, since we keep dogs inside these days, teaching your dog that they usually get table scraps can cause them to become a nuisance while eating, so don't neglect proper behavior training.
