anyone here server that to their dogs? I've did some research on the forum but couldn't find quantities guidelines.
also, although i read it would smell bad, no amount of mental preparation can help when that odor reaches your nose...

I feed tripe like any other organ meat.
Depending on the amount of bone in the meal, I try to have the organ meat be in the ballpark of 5% to 10%.

I have feed it before-dogs loved it!! The online source I ordered it from hasnt had it lately just the large pieces which kinda grossed me out-I prefer handling the ground stuff(kinda reminds me of wet cardboard or something) and I must be weird but the smell to me wasnt that bad-to me it smelled like a cow barn or something???? Anyway, its great stuff and I just took a few spoon fulls and threw it in with the rest of their stuff a few times aweek

I serve it instead of veggies and it makes up 15% of my dogs diet. I've tried to find out before if it is comparable to organ or veggies but never received a concrete answer. I've read enough though to know that it is one of the best products you can feed your dog.
I remember reading a while back that folks in Europe with working dogs feed only green tripe but I tried googling and couldn't find anything. I don't remember where I read it. I think if your dogs can handle it, it's a great diet.
There is a recent thread on it at:
http://www.network54.com/Forum/216432/thread/1223514590/last-1234249642/Green+Tripe+Products
Hopefully Connie will reply. I always look forward to her replies especially when it comes to diet.

yeah, it's not out-of-this-world stinky, but its a weird smell to me...hard to describe...it doesnt smack me in the face, but it's there... 
I'll probably get use to it...for some reason i've been redefining the boundaries of the things that gross me out since i've been feeding raw...

I don't know what I'd call it. Since it has nowhere near the protein content of muscle meat (even though the calcium-phosphorous ratio is a good 1:1), I guess the meat part must be far less than the vegetable part.
But the vegetable part is loaded with good stuff, like Lactobacillus Acidophilus and nicely processed vegetable matter. The enzymes that canids don't produce in quantity are not needed because the prey animal has supplied them.

Tripe can be feed however you like and your dog tolerates.
Not sure about that mix, but I'm sure it would be O.K. to do it the same.
It would probably be a good idea to start with small amounts and then work up if you want to feed more than a little a day.
I feed it as an entire days worth of food about once a week. Others feed a little everyday. Any way is fine.
also, although i read it would smell bad, no amount of mental preparation can help when that odor reaches your nose...
...for some reason i've been redefining the boundaries of the things that gross me out since i've been feeding raw... Yes, your ickyness tolerance is raised a little with every new, exotic item fed.
You oughta smell tripe that was alive seconds before you started emptying the stomach contents.
There is also a VERY noticeable difference between grass and grain fed ruminants. Grass fed is MUCH better smelling.....if there is such a thing with tripe.

One more question on the tripe... I've read at a few places that even though it's called green tripe, it does not have to be green...the first order i got was 95% green with some rubbery parts for the other 5% and smelled closer to cows doodoo...now i got a new order from the same store, but it's almost all brownish and rubbery but barely any green. Is the good stuff in the green (i guess digested grass) or the tripe itself? (Connie you make a quick reference but i'm not sure i understand)

The tripe I take out of the ruminants I butcher (cows, sheep, goats) is the stomach(s) consists of the thin brownish colored lining (texture like indoor/outdoor carpet or a flat honeycomb, depending on the stomach) and the main wall which is white. If it has aged a bit the lining will slip off so that the white main wall is what shows the most. The contents of the stomachs (very fibrous stomach grass, will be various shades of green or brown) end up in a big pile off to the side and the dogs don't try to eat it. Very little stomach grass sticks to the tripe.
The good gut flora sticks to the lining or the stomach grass residue.
I'm not sure if you mean that your first order was mostly grass or what.
And tripe smells MUCH worse than cow poop.
(BTW Tripe smells just like llama spit (try to stay upwind and to the side so it doesn't hit you). I just gave my extra grumpy llama a spring hair cut so that he will look better when I SELL him.)

"Green" just means that it is raw and uncleaned.
Tripe can be different colors. Usually green, brown, olive drab, or kinda' grayish.
I've found that what they ate affects color some.
This video REALLY sucks. For some reason, I cannot for the life of me find someone to go with me to hold the camera on "tripe day". I apologize and will get better.:wink:

These were eating off hay bales before slaughter. Don't know if you can really tell in the video, but they were brown to olive drab.
