What to do if eaten
If a pancake or topping contained chocolate, raisins, xylitol, or a large amount of butter, contact a vet or poison-control service.
How to serve safely
Do not make pancakes a dog treat. Avoid syrup, chocolate, raisins, xylitol-containing products, butter, whipped cream, and flavored batter. A little plain cooked pancake is only an occasional empty-calorie extra.
