1. Raw Green Tripe
Raw Green Tripe is the stomach of grass eating animals such as a cow, lamb or goat. The stomach of these animals is packed full of gastric juices, amino acids and other digestive enzymes. The "friendly" bacteria in green tripe is essential to maintaining your pet's healthy immune system. Tripe is removed from almost all commercial raw diets. This is why it is very important to supplement green tripe in your pets diet. Keep in mind that not all tripe is the same. Make sure you look for Raw "Green" Tripe...raw being uncooked and green meaning uncleaned. Tripe from the grocery store has been cleaned, scalded and bleached. It has almost no nutritional value for the canine.
Our tripe from GreenTripe.com is from 100% organic and grass-fed animals that are USDA inspected. They are antibiotic free and no hormones added.
