would like to know about green tripett - Page 3

If you are friendly with your local mom-and-pop butcher, it may be possible to get fresh green tripe before it is even frozen.  But they can't take money for it and you may have to come around midnight to pick it up when no one is around (including the inspectors).  :-)    Worth to do all that for the dogs though  :-) 

In the wild wolf pack, the alpha male and female get to feed first. They eat the stomach and intestines. Everybody else follows after and eat the rest.

I do believe I will ask my various friends that raise their own animals and have the farm kill truck come, to save me the green tripe from here on out.   I have a couple lambs scheduled myself so that should be a start.

I fed tripet. I throw it in 1x or 2x a week. Don't have any compliants. It does smell a bit, but not too bad. The dogs love it!

KariM,

   howz your feeding quantity of Xcalliber green tripe per day/week.

I fed it as a supplement, so my dogs each got about 1/2 of a pound or so, a 2 pound chub would last about two days.  My friend Nancy fed it alone and I think she fed about 2 pounds per day, plus kibble at night I think 2 cups, for both of her males.  They were also working quite often as well!!

I think it just depends if you are going to use it as a supplement or a main dish

KariM, do you mix with kibble and you provide less kibble mixed with 1/2lb of tripett.

I feed it in a different feeding than my kibble.  I feed kibble at night and the tripe in the morning.  I just watch the dog's weight to see if the kibble and tripe together seems to be the right amount, they can get chunky quick if they are not working very much!
