Feline: Initially offer dry on a glass rod or finger (also try with water). Or make it a part of the herb garden. Allow as much as needed.

Canine: If the barley grass is selected dry and then, after a while, begins to stick to the tongue, add water. Some dogs may only take it dry, while others may prefer it watery, and some dogs may alternate between wet and dry. Small or nervous dogs may initially prefer to lick it off a finger before taking it from a bowl or saucer.

Add a teaspoon of barley grass to a bowl then splash a little water over it, leaving some dry and the rest wet. See which is preferred

Equine and other herbivores: Slightly wet a shallow bowl or a scoop (large enough for a horses muzzle). This just needs to be done once, as the horses saliva then takes over. Add a handful of barley grass at a time so the powder doesn't blow up into the nostrils and startle the horse. Some horses prefer the barley grass dry, others with water (lessening its intensity), while another horse may want to alternate between wet and dry. Allow horses to take as much as they need. If a horse selects more than 150g offer peppermint, German chamomile and fennel during the selection process in case they are needed to aid digestion. If you are working with a herd, offering barley grass in a watery solution in several buckets to avoid fighting is probably the best option.

Avoid offering barley grass in the feed
