Green Tripe???

Does anyone give their dogs green tripe? What nutrients does a dog get form tripe? How much should be fed? any feedback welcome

 

I've given my dogs tripe, I believe its intestines. Pretty good for helping good stomach and intestinal bacteria if i rememeber correctly but also, product of gas :p

 

its actually the lining of a cows stomach, those crazy italians like to eat it, ewwwwwww grosss lol

 

ahh i knew it was somethign silly like that, lol wouldnt catch me eatin it

but to the topic, are you looking at solid gold's green tripe?

 

nah im just looking at possibly given fresh green tripe if it really would help with something

 

Well, I;ve used their stuff before and have given some to my family esp in the freeze dried form i found best, and less gass always a plus

"Dogs benefit from tripe as it contains a number of nutrients. It contains Omega 3 fatty acids, Omega 6 fatty acids, enzymes, phytonutrients and probiotics. "

sorry i am not a plethora of info atm...too much pain killer and im swelled up like a chipmunk

 

yea i was looking at some freeze dried green tripe treats, but i don't know if im gonna pay 9 bucks for a package that only has 5 or 6 treats in it

 

Not sure of the exact nutrients it has, but it's good for them. If you're getting the fresh stuff, just to warn you, it smells like ass. But my dogs loved it.

 

Wow Boi Boi, you find that in PA? I can only find the bleached (white) tripe. That stuff (white tripe) does not have the nutritional value of green version. And yes, i have eaten tripe in soup. It is chewy if memory serves me right (it has been about 13 years).

 

i haven't found it yet, but i could if i really wanted to feed it to the dogs. I've eaten it too at the local italian fest in my area, not all that bad tasting in the soup but the texture kills it for me, i can't mess with the stuff

 

It's an excellent source of enzymes for your dogs. It can be given on a daily basis.

It is hard to get a hold of. There are suppliers upstate. If you hassle your butcher about it he can order it for you. It usually sells for approximately $0.85/lb. They usually come in 30-35lb boxes for something like $30.

I have had it the Italian way too and I agree it's not one of my favorites. But, I have also had it in Mexico from a friend of mine and it was marinated and grilled, like a steak, and oh yeah, it was excellent!

how much would i be giving for lets say a 35lb dog? half pound enough per day?

 

Yup, that's good!

 

That is way too much, if you want to feed it daily than you can cut up a small piece and feed it but a dog only needs it maybe twice a week at most.

Check out www.animalfood.com they have the green tripe in freeze dried kibble form so that you can add a few pieces a day to their regular meals.

 

Green tripe is good for your dogs. It contains gastric juices and enzymes that will help your dog digest and utilize food more sufficiently. It also contains amino acids which we all know are good for developing muscles. It is also known to help reduce tarter on their teeth. Hope it helped.

 

thanks for the info maximus and oldtime, i might get some of the dried version to test it out and see how my dogs do

No problem, good luck with it.

 

Just stick to the stuff I told you :cool:. Just don't feed too much like me:eek:

 

lol yea i feel ya, just doing a little research cause i heard about feeding tripe today

 

Freeze dried is just as good as the real version just without the water and the mess and nowhere near as stinky. PLus it's alot easier to store than in your freezer and having to thaw that stuff out in the kitchen and having it stink it up.
