Green Tripe is good a thing. It literally smells like, well lets not be delicate, it smells like shit. Dogs love it and it is good for your dog. If you need to give your dog’s medicines or supplements that you want to make sure they eat mixing them with canned tripe is a sure way to get everything consumed. Green tripe means it is not processed, not that it is green in color, although sometimes parts of it have a greenish tint.
If you feed fresh tripe the best way to do is to give it to the dogs frozen, it helps keep the odor down and I would give it to them outside.
My favorite source for fresh tripe is Hare Today Gone Tomorrow
They sell it in 5# bags sliced including the spleen. I smash the bag to help separate the frozen strips and give to my dogs frozen. Hare Today only carries Beef Tripe so if your dog is allergic to Beef you need to find a different source of Tripe.
Trippett has 4 varieties of canned Tripe and it is a very nice product. Because it is canned there has been some cooking, so you there will be some loss of the nutritional benefits over feeding fresh tripe. Two of the varieties contain Beef, the others two are Lamb Tripe and Venison Tripe
Doggiefood.com has excellent prices on the Trippet and free shipping over $49, plus 10% off first order to new customers.
Solid Gold also has a canned Beef Tripe:
Batman enjoyed green tripe once, the frozen variety outside.
Even frozen, it reeked so bad! I gagged just unwrapping it. I’m unusually sensitive to smells, so I’m hesitant to give it to him again.
I feed Tripe from Blue Ridge Beef. It is ground up and frozen in 2-lb rolls. It is not nasty smelling at all. I thaw it in the fridge before feeding.
Thanks for the info, Julie. If it smells like shizz, Roman wil totally be into it!
Hmmmm Aslan does not appear to be a big fan, he was more content with playing with it and eating around it. Will try to mix it with something tasty for next round.
