gnipper 6,504 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Considering it has such a high water content etc etc its surprising how dogs do bloody well in it and I've yet to see a dog turn its nose up at it. Mine get tripe now and again as I vary the meat / offal they get but when they've had tripe they definitely lick the bowl for longer and keep coming back to check they didn't miss any 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Considering it has such a high water content etc etc its surprising how dogs do bloody well in it and I've yet to see a dog turn its nose up at it. Mine get tripe now and again as I vary the meat / offal they get but when they've had tripe they definitely lick the bowl for longer and keep coming back to check they didn't miss any thats because its offal and dogs naturally will eat the guts first, just watch a pack of african wild dogs on a kill or hyenas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,504 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 In the wild its because its the quickest way of getting a full gut in a pack scrapping over the kill rather than the flavour that dogs love or perhaps dogs know something we don't and it really is the best food for them? It's dearer than other dog meats round here though so they can sod off if they think their getting it more often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,173 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Jeez! I wouldn't want to cook tripe: smells bad enough raw LOL By the way, all muscle meat is around 75% water, not just tripe. Heart is the densest muscle meat with the least water content. http://www.fsis.usda.gov/factsheets/Water_in_Meats/index.asp A well balanced diet should contain a bit of everything: muscle, offal, bone: (in that order, the greatest percentage first) just like you'd get in a whole carcase.

Cow tripe too, I can get sheep tripe but the dogs aren't keen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
