Green tripe

[Cbrugs]

So I have lost my connection to local frozen green bison tripe. The place I was getting it from doesn't sell it anymore and they will be switching to lamb tripe. Jax can't do lamb. I have done a Google search to try and find bison tripe elsewhere and so far the only place I can find it is online from Reel Raw. I was paying somewhere between $80-$90 for 20 pounds every 2 1/2 months or so with free delivery. Reel Raw would cost me about $165 for 20 pounds worth PLUS $50 in shipping. I really don't want to stop giving tripe (Jax can't do beef every day either) but this just seems so expensive. I'm not giving up and will be looking further before I spend the money with Reel Raw. In my search I did find a canned green bison tripe!? I know it's not as good as frozen raw but is it better than nothing while I continue on my hunt?

Just a thought................ I do the beef tripe but I only give for mabie 4 days a week. Been out for 2 weeks (store out of it) and he's fine. Gave him some of the good stuff sauerkraut, and even a fermented pickle. Just wondering if Your kids can do just a few days a week beef????

That's a good idea. I do give Jax beef periodically, he just can't have it every day but he should be fine a couple times a week. I just recently tried so I knew whether or not he could do the lamb tripe and it was a disaster. But I know Vital Essentials sells frozen beef tripe and I can get it at a local pet store.

I’ve bought one can to try it on Nyala ‘s first bday. She loved it. Maybe I should have bought her a case on her 2nd bday since I forgot it!!! Lol. Duke’s bday next week. Better start putting post it everywhere!!!

Oh you definitely owe Nyala big time!! She’s probably telling Duke right now how mama is going to forget his birthday lol!

Okay, maybe I will try out the canned stuff AND get the frozen beef tripe as well and rotate them. Louie gets neutered next week so after that I think I’ll start to give him raw for dinner. I have a bag of duck patties that Jax didn’t do well on so I saved them for Louie. Louie gets bits of raw when I make up Jax’s meals for the week but he’s never had a full meal. He’s going to love it!

They’re all good probiotics. Tripe, make sure you get green which is unbleached. Sauerkraut, has to be the refrigerated kind, not canned. And pickle...that’s a new one to me, never heard of giving a fermented pickle. Interesting.

If you try tripe beware...it stinks so bad and you should wear gloves while handling it or else your hands will stink. But it’s so good for them and they love it so to me, the stink is worth it.

Bang on!!!!

I know Duke’s bday next week n I’m so fregen busy with opening my webpage I’m forgetting to walk them . I’m like OMG walking time...so I run out with them. Lol

 

[Cbrugs]

Bang on!!!!

I should say that I learned the hard way cause the first time I handled the tripe, I did NOT wear gloves and OMG...I could not get the stench off of me.However, anytime I am making up the food and have everything laid out and the boyfriend comes into the kitchen, he starts gagging. Maybe I am just used to it by now. The things we do for these babies...

and............. strange to me, but, mabie because it's frozen I don't smell it???? I still don't handle the tripe but dang!! mabie my nose is getting numb to this wonderful stuff we give our dogs... I don't think his "poop" stinks either Ha!

I have to defrost the tripe in order to break it up and portion out and then I freeze again. So when's it's semi thawed...you get the real stench of it! The dogs love it. And I can definitely tell the difference between Jax's poop (raw fed) and Louie's poop (kibble fed). I can't wait to start feeding raw to Louie for at least half of his meal. I have also noticed that Louie sheds like crazy and Jax doesn't so I bet the food makes the difference for that as well.

And I don't know about the dogs, but now you are making me want a pickle!

These pickles are WONDERFUL!!! I get them at sprouts And, this is gonna be a good one............. I take the frozen tripe outside in a baggie, lean it diagonally on the step so it's not flat against anything, take a hammer to it and break it up frozen..

Totally Raw, the company I buy my frozen green tripe from said there is a risk of breaking a tooth feeding it in a frozen state and there is no benefit of feeding it frozen, in their opinion it doesn't help to clean there teeth. They recommend allowing it to thaw a little and than cut the 1/2lb patties into whatever size you use, I buy the frozen bag of 10 x 1/2lb patties, allow it to thaw a little then cut the patties into quarters and refreeze these and give one a day with breakfast, Bella loves it.
