For a man of your superior knowledge on all things running dog I can’t believe you can’t feed a proper barf diet and are having to resort to kibble. 

Why the sarcasm fella?  you presume I can not but your wrong I worked in a slaughter house before and after leaving school for good a few year over 3 decades ago so have had access to a barf diet for dogs well before it even became popular and ever since, I choose not to feed barf alone. You want to try again?

Dogs have been getting trotted about 25 mile a week for the last month or so getting them tightened up ready for the season, just waiting for the ground to get softened up a bit now and its full steam

We are ready. 

Yes I have to admit it gives me ‘an enormous sense of well being” driving up to Dartmoor at first light walking round watching rabbits disappear time and time again  ,driving back and feeding the dog

Lungs, tripe?

Lungs no, tripe yes. Heart, brains, tongue, liver, all more nutritious than muscle meat. Not just talking protein levels here, but essential vitamins and minerals, enzymes etc

Unless I was seeing exactly what was going in to something that was labelled as offal I would expect it to be mainly lungs and windpipe.

Tripe I disagree, whole heads really good food, liver ok in moderation.

I doubt the prepacked pack of offal which northerlite pictured will have all the good stuff in it also looks cooked.

Would you feed your dog nothing but offal and expect no problems?

No, wouldn't feed alot of liver, trachea, or lungs, but all the rest, yes. My granfather used to run one of the bigger markets from my area, and was a butcher, so getting really good food for the dogs was no problem. And I aint saying what you feed your dogs is is anything less than very good, but offal is better than muscle meat ?

Over the years I have seen problems develop with meat, offal , bones diet only more than once especially in growing pups.

As I already said I worked in a slaughter house so also have never had problems getting  meat offal bones etc never had a problem getting sheep heads either, a really good food to have in a dogs diet keeps their teeth in excellent order.

I like to use both meat and kibble.

People are to quick to right off kibble

both foods have there benefits

Ran dogs hard all winter on nothing but tripe without 1 single problem, I don’t anymore because I can get a better variety but if I had to I’d think nothing off it. I’ve heard lads on here say there’s feck all in tripe but them dogs never lost condition and were as fit as fiddles and worked harder than any dogs I’ve had since.
