Plain cooked barley is safe for dogs and typically causes no symptoms. It's a healthy fiber source, so your dog should digest it normally. You might see a change in stool consistency due to the extra fiber, but that's not a sign of illness. Just offer fresh water and call your own vet if anything seems off.
