white van man 3,188 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I have a source for green tripe and am going to start feeding it to the dog. He is already on a BARF diet and is fed twice a day. 24" tts. Just wanting to know how much tripe you would feed each day? ATB 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 My two terriers didnt do too well on a green tripe rich diet. If he`s already on raw, just add some to his diet. Variety is the spice of life. My 3 dogs all get a bit of tripe still, just not as much. From what I can gather, fresh stuff is better than the processed stuff as all the nutrients from the stomach contents have been cleaned out excessively. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Lloyd 10,736 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Raw green tripe is an excellant additive to the diet of a working dog... Locally, it is real hard to source,..most Abattoirs prefer to supply the pet food wholesalers.. I raised many litters of running dogs on sheeps heads, raw green tripes and lamb carcases... Great times going to collect the dog meat,.we thought we had hit, pay dirt back then... It is a great shame that the situation has changed....

white van man 3,188 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Thanks bob. I will just be adding as you say. Just wanted to know what others do as didn't want to vet do it. I will just cut it into pieces and add to each meal. The tripe comes straight from slaughter house so is not processed. Stinks the house out but dog seems to like it!

neil cooney 10,415 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 White van man, you don't know how lucky you are in this day and age. Tripe IMO is the caviar of dog food. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sighthound 49 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Good old days when I could get green tripe. Used to hang it outside on a butchers hook and slice at feeding time, dogs seemed to prefer it when it got smellier:) Was a bugger when the bag split in the car though. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
white van man 3,188 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 White van man, you don't know how lucky you are in this day and age. Tripe IMO is the caviar of dog food. I thought it was the norm to be able to get it but having spoken to a few people then obviously not. I get my mince and bones off him so he give me a load of tripe to try. The dog liked it so will add to his food. I only pay for mince beef and pasta now. Fish I catch, chicken carcass I get from butcher and rabbit from ferreting/lamping. Greens from what's left from our plates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sandymere 8,261 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Can't go wrong with a bit of tripe, some would say it's not the most nutritious fair but dogs love and do well on it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have been using that before I managed to get fresh stuff. It still smells and sais on package 100% but it's 90p a pack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
