the most disgusting thing I've fed. yet.

was from a can.



Tripett New Zealand Green Vension Tripe. I have seriously never thought I would vomit from feeding something until I opened this can. Just thinking about it makes me nauseous!  And I've fed some pretty gag-worthy things before... organs, brain, tongue, feet, etc. But nothing - and I mean NOTHING - smelled this putrid.

But wouldn't you know... the dogs LOVED it. Ate every little morsel they could find.

The Tripett Beef Green Tripe wasn't as bad, still the 'tripe-y' smell, but not nearly as horrible as the venison. And the dogs also enjoyed it. I enjoyed the limited ingredient list (as compared to something like Solid Gold's version)

From Best Bully Sticks.com:

Tripett Pure Green Venison Tripe is from venison raised and fed on the grasslands of New Zealand. Like the lamb tripe, venison tripe is easy for puppies to digest and is a great alternative for your pooches who are allergic to beef. Green Tripe (Green simply means the tripe is pure and unbleached) contains the partially digested grasses in an animal's stomach and is rich in digestive enzymes, gastric juices, taurine, amino acids and essential fatty acids which are important to all aspects of your pets' health. Tripett is intended to be mixed with dry or raw food. It is not a replacement for your pooches current dog food.

Worst smelling tripe treat EVER!


Congratulations, Canine Caviar! You have officially created the WORST smelling tripe experience EVER with your Buffalo Green Tripe Hormone and Antibiotic Free Compressed Bone! But, that must mean they are good, because my dogs were only gasping for air as they sucked them down, while I gasped for air out the open window.

Luckily, this only lasted about an hour until they consumed the thing.

From Canine Caviar:
Buffalo have 70% to 90% less fat compared to beef, on average it has 50% less cholesterol.

Buffalo graze on open grassland & natural grass. Because they are not fed manufactured feed, there is no concern about mad cow disease at this time.

Canine Caviar Buffalo Tripe Bones are extra delicious to give your dogs a long-lasting, satisfying chew (helping to reduce tarter and maintain your dogs teeth and gums). Canine Caviar Buffalo Tripe Bones come from premium quality 100% free range grass fed buffalo.

Even MORE Tripe!



Just in case raw green tripe or Dr. Harvey's Power Patties aren't enough to convince you that your dog WANTS green tripe, check out Solid Gold's GREEN COW!

Per their website:
Tripe is the stomach lining of the cow’s “fourth” stomach, or abomassum. The abomassum is where the actual digestion of the grasses and grains the cow has ingested takes place. Green tripe contains the partially digested plant matter the cow had eaten as well as the naturally occurring gastric juices and digestive enzymes.

Green Tripe is excellent as the sole diet or as an accompaniment to dry kibble with a great taste dogs love!




*Note - when purchasing a tripe product such as this, geared towards dogs, it is IMPERATIVE to make sure the ingredients list GREEN tripe! If not, honeycomb tripe (bleached, partially cooked) may have been used, and that is useless in its nutritional value to a dog!

Ingredients of Solid Gold GREEN COW:

Green Beef Tripe | Beef Broth | Potatoes | Potassium Chloride | Dicalcium Phosphate | Garlic | Choline Chloride | dl-methionine | A-Tocopherol | Vitamin E Supplement | Zinc Amino Acid Complex | Iron Amino Acid Complex | Copper Amino Acid Complex | Manganese Amino Acid Complex | Calcium Panthothenate | Vitamin A Acetate | Niacin | Vitamin D Supplement | Riboflavin | Folic Acid | Ethylenediamine Dihydriodide | Selenomethionine | Vitamin B12 Supplement | Pyridoxine Hydrochloride | Biotin | Thiamine Mononitrate |

Protein, Min 8%
Fat, Min 6%

5 - Solid Gold Green Cow
2 - Dr. Harvey's Power Patties

So what are you waiting for?? Go out there and [let your dog] try some [green] tripe!

How much do I love tripe?

This much!

I just can't seem to stop buying it for my dogs...

Our latest "find" is Dr. Harvey's Power Patties


Trust me on this - if you haven't fed raw green tripe yet, this is the way to start. They do not smell nearly as bad - and I'm not afraid to touch these without gloves!

Per their website:

Why Tripe is So Beneficial

  • Easily digestible, so fewer stomach upsets
  • Beautiful, shiny, cleaning smelling coat
  • Adds needed Vitamins and Minerals
  • Adds beneficial digestive enzymes
  • Adds good usable protein-consisting of balanced amino acids
  • Adds essential fatty acids
  • Has proper calcium/phosphorus balance

Warning

Dogs love Power Patties so much that they are apt to steal the whole bag. Power Patties should be placed in a carefully chosen and concealed place. Dr. Harvey’s will not be responsible for stolen or captured Power Patties. Also, please be aware that giving Power Patties may result in overwhelming amounts of joy and kisses. Now you can’t say we didn’t warn you!

Raw Green Tripe

Whole Dog Journal said it best in their July 08 article "How Green is Your Tripe":
"Ewwww! What's that awful smell? If your dog thinks it's the most exciting thing you've ever put in a bowl while you gag and hold your breath, it's probably green tripe..."
But what is raw green tripe? Tripe is the stomach of ruminating animals. The food this animal eats goes through an incredible digestion process that creates an ample amount of gastric juices, amino acids and digestive enzymes. Essentially - it opens the door for your dog to fully benefit from the food he eats.

We try to incorporate raw green tripe/organ blend 3-4 times per week into our dogs' diets as their muscle meat and organ portion of their raw meal plan. Stinky? Very much. Beneficial? Even more than the stinky!

Teeth, digestion, jaw muscles, coat, eyes... raw green tripe promotes total health!
