What is Tripe?

Tripe is the stomach of ruminant animals. Four footed, hoofed, cud-chewing mammals e.g. cows. The food these animals eat is grass or hay which is swallowed, chewed and mixed with saliva, broken down by gastric juices, amino acids and other digestive enzymes.

Why Feed Tripe?

Tripe is a fantastic food for feeding dogs of any age at any time. Tripe is excellent when making the change from kibble/biscuits to a raw diet. It should also be fed to dogs with allergies, skin conditions and sensitive stomachs. Why? Poor digestion leaves the body and the immune system in the same predicament that poor nutrition does – a lack of nutritional factors that support immune functioning and the function of the entire body. This is because a poor functioning digestive system has lost some of the ability to turn what is consumed into a form the body can use.

An inadequate digestive system will “steal” enzymes from the immune system to operate therefore weakening immune function. Poor digestive capability increases the body’s toxic load.
