Hands of Stone 154 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hi all, I've been offered a regular supply lamb tripes for the dogs... Are they as good as beef tripe?

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Not a lot of protein in any tripe. No but plenty of goodness all the same. Green tripe forms about 25% of my dogs diet. Lamb and beef tripe. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lamb and beef tripe. Older bitch we have loved lamb tripe as a youngster, about the same percentage as you feed gaz. Don't know if it's got more worms in it than any other tripe, but our dogs get wormed very regularly whether they need to or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not digging, but in my mind regular worming is a must, however you feed your dogs I agree. I do try to freeze what I can for a few weeks before feeding but they regularly eat what they catch or what I shoot on the same day. I worm every 6 months with advocate spot on and 3 months in between orally with drontal plus or milbemax. Never had any problems with worms. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blackpack 70 Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 As said freeze if you can worm every 3 months if feeding on a barf diet tripe is a great food but like with anything a mixed and varied diet is the best Quote Link to post Share on other sites
