Joyce Salazar Webboard User Reg: 02-28-2008 Posts: 2075 Loc: Dallas, Texas Offline	This is a great article on the benefits of feeding tripe to your dogs. There are many new raw feeders out there and this is a good article that explains what it is and the benefits. http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/the-stink-on-tripe/ Joyce Salazar

Will I be able to stand it? Will it linger on my dogs breath? Also, will she even eat it? I've tried two other strong smelling foods (pork kidney and pork uterus) and she wouldn't touch them. The only green tripe I can find around here is put out by pre-made raw food co.'s and is fairly pricey. So who is feeding it and what is your experience?

Joyce Salazar Webboard User Reg: 02-28-2008 Posts: 2075 Loc: Dallas, Texas Offline	Hi Cindy! I would try a can of it to start with as that isn't nearly as potent as the fresh stuff. But not to be too put off, because it is one of the best things you can do for your dog. I have a raw supplier who sells the fresh stuff in frozen chubs. JMO, but the fresh stuff is going to be best as the less processing the better. Amazingly, the stinkier the more dogs seem to love it. I think the best way is to not let it get totally room temp, I usually feed it a bit more on the "just barely thawed," as it is not as stinky as completely thawed. What I would do if you do find fresh is thaw a small amount at one time. I would be refreezing the unused portion. Also, if you do have to refrigerate it, I double wrap the top of the container with saran and then foil and then cover it, with a plastic lid. This way, the smell doesn't get out in your fridge.

Some ethnic food section? Is it possible the canned smells better from being processed? Surely the raw, frozen that i can get is better, I guess... What does it smell like? cross posted with joyce

Joyce Salazar Webboard User Reg: 02-28-2008 Posts: 2075 Loc: Dallas, Texas Offline	http://www.tripett.com/Home.html This is the canned brand that is usually very easy to find in quality pet food stores. They have some good varieties. Tripe smells a lot like fermented, digested grasses, to put it nicely. It is more pungent when fresh. But if you have ever been in an animal barn around the fresh cow pies, it smells a bit like that as well. Not unbearable, especially for all the benefits. Just think of it as if your dog were in the wild eating, he would love to devour it. Joyce Salazar

A musky, mysterious base note of blood and fresh organ meat that develops into a confident, earthy layer of barnyard essence...and finishes with an herbal top note of wet mown hay. Oh, the smell of it. Cinco | Jack | Fanny | Ellie | Chip | Deacon

Cindy Shepard Webboard User Reg: 07-14-2010 Posts: 218 Loc: BC Canada Offline	Thanks, I'll look, but maybe I'll just spring for the frozen and give it a try. Next questions: How often do you feed tripe? Everyday, couple times a week? And how much? Mitzi gets about 4 oz. of food a day - 2 oz. meaty bone, 1 oz meat, 1 oz. ground whole carcass patty, with small whole herring a few times a week and extra liver a few times a week. How would I best fit the tripe in?

I don't think it matters as long as you feed it once week or a few more. Maybe there are some who feed it daily, but I don't. I think you could either feed two ounces in addition to what you are feeding now, or you could just feed a bit more for just one meal. The enzymes that are in there are great for digestion and I usually don't add in any veggies when feeding tripe because the green matter are the veggies. Joyce Salazar
