Feeding your dog a raw diet is essential for a healthy active life. Raw tripe is a doggy super food, with enzymes, nutrients, beneficial bacteria, natures own pro-biotic, minerals and vitamins in abundance. As soon as it enters the digestive system, it is already being broken down and if cut into chunks rather than minced, it keeps the teeth nice and white and eliminates bad breath. The saliva a dog generates when chewing and tearing food is essential for healthy digestion. All too often the modern cooked and processed diets are gulped down and swell up in the gut causing bloat and excess gas. Using raw food, together with some raw green leaf vegetables and an occasional grated carrot, a little olive oil, vegetable oil, cod liver oil etc and some scraps from leftovers providing they are suitable will make dinner time the best time for all concerned.
The easiest way to cut up green tripe from the abattoir / slaughter house is to hang it on a butchers hook, indoors preferably to avoid pesky flies. Cover the floor with polythene sheets as illustrated by Dexter the TV serial killer :)
Wear a butchers cut proof glove on hand not holding the knife.
Hang the tripe on the hook taking caution not to skewer your hands and fingers. The glove is cut resistant not puncture resistant so taker care.
Trim off all of the fat and discard.
Using the knife cut through the tripe vertically downwards, to shred it into thin long strips. When shredded, grasp strips at bottom and cut through horizontally into small chunks, dropping into a washing up bowl or bucket. Weigh up one portion of tripe suitable for your dog's diet when added to small scoop of a dried complete food so you can gage the weight visually. Now fill up bags and freeze them. Take a bag out of freezer each night and thaw in an ice cream tub with sealed lid. Always feed dog tripe raw, don't cook it as this destroys the micro-nutrients and bacterium that speeds up the digestive process, which enables your dog to get more from his / her food. Besides have you ever seen a wild animal with a camping stove? The chunks of tripe are great for keeping your dogs teeth clean as they chew it. Minced tripe is gulped down and never mixed with saliva enzymes, so tends to leave plaque building up around the gums as does most tinned / processed food. This is the least expensive and natural way to feed your pets. We are paying £4.00 per tripe. 8 beef tripe fills our small chest freezer.
