Hooorah!!!! We found a source of green tripe at an expensive price (as opposed to mortgage-the-house expensive it would cost us to ship it from the mainland to Hawaii)
We bought the regular, green trip with trachea, and the one with organ meats mixed-in. All of our babies love it!
I was wondering how often you guys feed green tripe. Do you feed it as a muscle meat or organ meat? Or perhaps as a hybrid like gizzards or hearts? I intend to feed the tripe/organ mix in lieu of organ meat.
The tripe/organ mix would depend on how much and of what organs were in it.
Muscle or organ? Hmmmm.....
You always hear the argument that it is muscle. Last I checked, a steak couldn't digest grass.
I believe Jennifer Mullen labeled it a muscular organ. I like that label.
Turbo gets an entire days meal as tripe about once every week. Sometimes once every 2 weeks. Sometimes twice a week. Sometimes once a month. Sometimes a little tripe with a chicken back every day.......
As long as it is PART of a varied menu, throw it in there however your heart desires and your dogs gut agrees with.:smile: Don't ask your dogs opinion, or you will have to put it in there every day and refinance your house.
I have a follow-up green tripe question: I have stopped feeding veggie glop to my dogs. Does green tripe contain a significant amount of plant matter? What are y'all's thoughts on the necessity of feeding veggies?
Not sure if this should be a different thread, if so, let me know and I'll re-post
How much is some, indeed! Cleo, for example, is between 100-105lbs. I feed her about 1.5 lbs of food, twice daily. I've been giving her about 3-5 oz. of green tripe with breakfast (maybe more).
I stopped the produce because Alex never tolerated it well and I noticed Cleo had developed a mild rash on her belly that became more pronounced on veggie glop days. After stopping the veg, the rash went away. Perhaps it was a particular vegetable. I have read that produce is unnecessary for dogs, but I am aware there is a split in opinion.

For my dogs, green tripe is something they get occasionally. I'll buy 50 pounds (frozen, ground), use it up over the course of a month or so, and then they won't get any more for several months. (I buy it on line and pay to ship it, so it's expensive.)
When they get it, I consider it as part of the muscle meat portion of a meal.
I would vary it. But it always consisted of leafy greens. A combination of several of the following: Romaine lettuce, parsley (regular, Italian, and Chinese(also know as "cilantro")), watercress, celery, and kale. I would also put in some powdered wheatgrass, kelp, alfalfa and vitamin C.
I poured the mixture into ice cube trays, froze it and feed one cube every other day.
