Thanks Norm. How do you feed your tripe? On it's own? Do you mix it up? Supplements?

Thanks for the link.

I was thinking about your traveling dilemma; you could do the next best thing to fresh of frozen raw while you're on the road, with dehydrated raw that you just rehydrate with water just before feeding. Something to consider.

Great post, Jim. We have been looking into kibble alternatives for a month or so. Our main concern is the amount of time we spend on the road and having to find/store a raw food diet. On a related front, here is a link to the first of three excellent posts written by ThePhillyDog on “bad kibble/good raw food.”

you've let the secret out with this article. I've been feeding my breed green tripe for years and to say it is the best is an understatement.
I supply many fellow breeders with tripe so they can feed it every day.

Doggy crack, haha.

When I'm preparing it for the next day (I have frozen Buffalo Tripe from Red Dog Deli), Sweety & Zeus' noses are in the air trying to catch whiffs of the tantalizing aroma (stench) of the tripe. It takes them about 2 minutes to polish it off during their meal. They love it!

We love green tripe at our house! I buy it dried (for treats) and canned (to mix into food or freeze into Kongs). It's a huge hit and we call it “doggie crack”. As soon as a whiff of it hits the air, my dog is glued to my side with giant dialated pupils.

You need to be sure to buy the green stuff though – that's the smelly kind with the health benefits. I mistakenly bought the white stuff from a Chinese market. The dog still enjoyed it, but it's cleaned, bleached and processed and not as good for them.
