Green Tripe is something we highly recommend here at K9 Natural because not only do dogs LOVE it but it is incredibly nutritious as well. We consider it to be natures ‘super-food’ for dogs because it is packed full of protein and probiotics.
What exactly is Green Tripe?
Tripe is the stomach of ruminating (grazing) animals. These animals are classified as being four-footed, hooved and cud chewing mammals with a stomach that consists of four chambers. Our source of Green Tripe comes from New Zealand grass fed Lamb.
How can something that smells so disgusting be so good?
Green Tripe contains gastric juices and enzymes which aid the dog in digesting and efficiently utilizing their food. Raw Green Tripe is full of lacto bacillus acidophilus along with amino acids, both of which are necessary for good health & include muscular development, plus gastric juices which are great teeth cleaners. It also means it can be easily digested and perfect for dogs who suffer from a sensitive digestive system and or skin allergies.
Why feed K9 Natural Green Tripe?
We have many customers that find green tripe has helped clear up their dog’s skin allergies and they are very happy with the results. Green Tripe is also an excellent transitional tool to help transition a dog from a highly processed kibble diet to a raw diet since it contains lots of digestive enzymes and makes the transition nice and easy.
We offer green tripe in both frozen and freeze dried free flow forms. This takes away the ‘yuck’ factor as you can feed without handling the tripe (unfortunately we can’t take away the smell).
The freeze dried is an even more convenient way to feed as there is no need for freezer space and no need to defrost, you can also feed it as treats.
Here are some comments our customers have made about our Green Tripe:
‘Tripe is the stuff doggie dreams are made of’
‘You’ve turned my dog into a tripe junkie ? LOL’
‘Bought a bag on the weekend and she’s right over the moon. She loves this smelly stuff….so much so that I caught her trying to break into the bag….and she has never, ever done that before!’
‘It stinks but it works, Watson was itching nonstop and shaking the house like an earthquake until I dished this up’
