Tripe’s Benefits
Reports from tripe enthusiasts make it
sound as though green tripe can bring dead
dogs back to life, and that’s not much of an
exaggeration. Mary Voss began to appreciate
tripe’s benefits when a friend involved
in all-breed rescue asked her to help save a
litter of infant Rottweiler puppies that had
been abandoned in a carport in winter.
“There were nine in the litter,” she says,
“and they split the pups among three of us.
Our job was to bottle-feed and wean the
pups, then bring them back at eight weeks
for adoption.”
Voss started weaning her charges at
four weeks and gradually added green
tripe. “When we brought the pups back
together again, the three I raised were bigger,
stronger, and more robust,” she says.
“Their coats glistened and their eyes were
bright and alert. Most of all, their personalities
were confident, fun-loving, and just
good-natured. The other pups were smaller
and sickly, their coats were dull, and they
were not very alert. Their temperaments
were also questionable because they
seemed too shy to be Rotties.”
When asked to describe the benefits
of feeding green tripe, the breeders and
dog lovers we polled all mentioned improvements
in health, appearance, and
disposition. Puppies thrive while avoiding
bone growth problems, older dogs
become more lively and active, digestive
disorders vanish or improve dramatically,
skin problems disappear, coats shine, coat
color improves, eyes brighten, muscles
become toned, teeth look terrific, stool size
diminishes, and endurance and stamina
increase. Dogs with behavioral problems
become calmer, some chronic illnesses or
conditions improve or disappear, dogs with
breeding problems successfully reproduce,
pups raised on green tripe excel at everything,
elderly dogs resume their careers and
win competitions, and the list goes on.
Of course, not every dog will respond
dramatically to green tripe, but enough
have to make it seem like a cure-all.
Several analyses show that tripe’s
calcium-phosphorus ratio is 1:1, which is
considered ideal for dogs. Its overall pH is
slightly acidic, which aids digestion. The
protein content of raw tripe is 10 percent
and its fat content is about 5 percent. Tripe
contains the essential fatty acids (linoleic
and linolenic) in their recommended proportions
as well as magnesium, potassium,
B-complex vitamins, the amino acid taurine,
other amino acids, about 4 percent
fiber, and trace amounts of other minerals
and vitamins A, C, D, and E. Green tripe
is approximately 78 percent water or moisture.
The protein level of dehydrated tripe
is about 21 percent.
“We were surprised to find that tripe
contains large amounts of Lactobacillus
acidophilus, the lactic acid bacteria that
is the main ingredient in probiotics,” says
Voss. “Green tripe is also loaded with
gastric enzymes, other gastric ‘juices,’ and
amino acids. The same gastric juices that
help cattle with digestion aid the canine in
digesting and efficiently utilizing food, and
the amino acids are necessary for muscular
development. As a bonus, coarsely ground
tripe works like dental floss and is one of
the best cleaners for a dog’s teeth.”
As with any dog food, the right amount
depends on the dog’s age, metabolism,
and activity level. Couch potatoes don’t
need much, while dogs working in adverse
conditions require thousands of calories
per day.
