Buy it at My local Hispanic supermarket. Feed it frozen. Also liver, kidneys, hearts, bones, lungs, and whatever organ meat I can find, along with cheap lean meat, ie. Picnic, neckbones, ground beef, turkey necks, lamb, goat, etc. I try to stay away from chicken though, its never worked for My dog. That goes for couple weeks, and then one week of orijen six fish, and then back to raw. I have to say that when in orijen the stool is much softer than when feeding raw ( very firm and almost stinkless) from My personal experience green tripe should be given every day as a natural probiotic/enzyme complement to each meal. The only thing about feeding raw is...... the time dude... its time consuming. But I guess it pays off when u see your kid's eyes half the way open, leaking, mauling, carving what's left of that shoulder, blood all over his muzzle, heavy breathing, back to their roots. Only good things to say about raw imo.

FYI, if you're buying tripe at a supermarket, it's bleached and cleaned and of virtually zero nutritional value. Sorry ;-)  Gotta go for the green!

Yeah but it's really nice with salt, pepper and lashings of vinegar LOL

trust me, it's green, greener than most, and prob. also fresher! with a lot of crap on it too! lol.
i failed to mention, the market it's actually a meat packing store where they butcher every friday. manager is a friend and he saves whatever meat i ask him to. lucky me. i get hearts for 35 cts., liver for 65 cts. kidneys free, lungs free, knuckle bones 10 cts. turkey backs / necks 9 dollars for a 25 punds case. etc. etc. etc.

I feed organic green tripe ground and frozen, helps me be able to deal with it.  Dogs love it especially my picky eater Border Collie.  Her favorite meal is green tripe with beef heart, she will usually eat that even when she is on a hunger strike LOL! My one GSD has EPI and the enzymes and nutrients are really good for her.  I don't serve it everyday but several times a week usually.

I feed grass-fed beef tripe. I've seen an amazing change in overall health, body condition, and coat, but I can't say that it's from the green tripe. I changed over to a raw diet at the same time that I started feeding tripe. The dogs do love it...the stinkier, the better!

Oh, so you're buying it out the back door from the butcher then...you made it sound like you were buying at the supermarket, packaged.

Carry on then. :-)

Yep I get it from Blue Ridge Beef.  Seems like the new chubbs are even smellier now.

Hi There

Just been reading this topic re.tripe. I have a young active working GSD who is a kennel dog.However last winter when it got really cold I felt   he was losing a little bit of weight  on his complete food therefore I increased his feed. I didn't have any problems BUT was wondering if anyone feeds a complete food AND tripe to keep weight on.
The complete food is 30% Protein + 21% Oil

If so-- can I ask how much tripe you would feed??
