It has been a week since switching to raw, and it is going well. No stomach or digestion issues at all really. Nice solid poops and a happy dog.
Ok, so today I got my first batch of green tripe. I must say, while not by any means what I would call pleasant, it wasn't nearly as bad smelling as I expected it to be. I devided it into 8 oz. bags. I know this has been adressed a million times, but how often and how much do you usually feed it?
It's really good stuff and you could feed it every day if you want. Since I started feeding whole animals (guts and all) my dogs get it about 2-3 times a week. They (15-25 lb dogs) are probably getting about a palm sized piece each time.
Once you introduce it and you know that your dog's stomach agrees with it you can feed it like you would any other food. No special instructions.
Did he get to smell it at all? Have you fed any yet?
The first time I fed it I kinda felt guilty. Surely to God no living being would eat this if given a choice. WRONG! Tripe and deer run a close race for his favorites.
My pup never really got too involved with feeding. Always just sat there and gnawed away. Not with tripe. He likes to shake it and use his feet to hold it down while he pulls chunks off it.
Sorry for the rambling. Tripe has produced some of the best feeding moments.

Thanks guys! The tripe I got is actually ground up already. So I don't get the "fun with tripe" eating experience. He was VERY interested, and I did give him a little taste. He ate it happily. I wasn't sure if you treated it as an organ meat, or just a regular meat source. I also got a bag of organ blend, which is cool. It has lots of different organs in it. And just for fun, a sheep head, which has totally grossed out my kids. My family thinks I'm having way too much fun with this RAW stuff...

Not yet, and THANKS bunches. It was worth getting just to see the looks on my kids faces! I think I will give it to him. My parents are here, so will be totally grossed out!

I see that after waiting so long to finally start him on raw you are going HOG WILD!!! Well, maybe SHEEP WILD!!!
I think of the tripe as a meat,yogurt and veggie substitute, but mine isn't washed like the stuff you got so it has a bunch more goodies to go with it. On http://www.greentripe.com I read that they have fed just tripe to some of their sickly/old dogs, and it was balanced in Calcium/Phosphorus.
I am going to close this thread, it's up to 15 pages....
It would be helpful to people trying to read and learn to start new threads, maybe start a new one with a more specific subject than just " need advice"
