Hi,excatly what bad things can come out of feeding raw tripe,thanks

very smelly wind in my dogs

Eau de Tripe is not the best thing to be wearing at work..............

I try to feed it at night so that no tripey aroma follows me around.........

I always have a shower before work - after feeding the dogs. :D
The smell is very affectionate, just seems to cling onto you, your hair, your clothes ......

i feed raw tripe and i have no problems at all with it you dont smell if you use it!and my pup loves it

Agree with kirstys on this one, never had a problem with tripe, found u tend to smell of it if u cook it, never noticed "the tripe pong" when fed raw though..dogs absolutely love it too..builds them up nicely aswell

Like mentioned before , the smell of raw tripe doesn't seem to linger like cooked tripe does. However, my dog only gets it occasionally as it gives him dark green poo that's of a consistency not that easy to pick up in a poop scoop.

agree with kirsty s.... feed my puppies raw tripe and they love it ..... the smell is worse when cooked but raw is no problem ..... when we have cooked it we are lucky enough to have a microwave in our barn and that solves the problem of that pungent aroma grabbing you by throat

I give mine free flow frozen.  Easy to handle, less smelly and every bit as palatable - when defrosted. 

I find that tripe lumps are very fishy smelling and when I sometimes have to cut the whole tripe up to split between the two of them, it does leave a lingering odour on my hands, even after showering and scrubbing with detergent.

Still doesn't present itself as a problem to me though ;)

I have resorted to rubber gloves when dealing with tripe chunks - can't stand the smell that seems to get stuck under the finger nails otherwise!

there is a brilliant little gadget for getting smells of your hands - it is a little metal soap shaped bar and when rubed over your hands under cold water the smell comes right off - well sometimes there is still a slight smell.
i will find out where to get it from and post a link if people want

hope this helps

scrubbing your hands with salt works too. I always scrub my chopping board with salt after chopping onions to lift the smell.

we really should have a little green face that would simulate feeling a tad queasy, as reading these posts has made me screw my face up a few times.

i've only had one dealing with raw tripe, and it put me off for life. When i picked up my youngest, it was summer, and his breeder used to give them tripe. He was dealing with the drive home fabulously, until about 3 minutes from home, when he proceeded to throw up all the tripe he'd had for breakfast. My other dog who was travelling with him (he initially started on hubby's knee, but was determined to sit with her in the boot!) jumped the back seat, hubby was heeaving, so i had to pull over, scrape the vom up into a poo bag, threw it under my seat with the plan of binning it on my return home..... A week later, i found the split bag of tripe vom tucked under the front seat. That explained the mysterious odour that has been detected! Not pleasant, as the car was black, and parked in full sun when on the drive! It took 3 weeks for the smell to go...........

I buy in bulk. It comes in blocks which are fast frozen, so no smell when fed raw.

I also feed free flow tripe (raw). I buy it in 2kg bags at our local pet supermarket as we don't have enough freezer space at the moment to buy in bulk. I hardly notice any smell at all and I have a very tuned in nose :D (almost have to exit the house if kippers or the like are being cooked).

What sort of bad things? Mine enjoy it and I've not noticed any ill-effects.

My dogs dont like raw green tripe :(  I;ve been considering maybe cooking it in a little milk,like the humans do and seeing if they;ll eat it that way.One of mine needs to gain weight so i;m willing to put up with the stench if it;ll help her

Jeangenie who said bad things?

Sara, I  think JG was referring to the OP's question :)

Edited to add: Cooking tripe will just take all of the nutrients out of it. Have never known a dog yet that refuses raw tripe! For dogs, there is absolutely no need to cook it!

Our dogs love raw tripe.  We first bought it from our local petshop at 59p for 400g (very watery consistency and not much of a smell).  I have now invested in a freezer and have received our first on-line order of tripe and various other raw meat.  The tripe is around 22p for 454g. All frozen and wrapped in seperate bags.  Much nicer looking tripe. The dogs prefer it. The smell is also alot stronger.  Both dogs poo's are alot firmer with the new smellier tripe!!

Hi Shads

Nicci

Hi www.landywoods.co.uk will deliver tripe in bulk to your door, they deliver all BARF type of food, aswell as some all natural complete dry foods, but it is £50 min per order, however having 3 dogs i dont struggle to spend it lol

Thank u aswell Sandy...ive got 2 GSD's at the mo, but im always getting dogs handed over to me that need socialising, that stay with me for a while so a £50 min order wont be a problem for me either lol

I use then as well, they are great, it's their tripe that is fast frozen then minced. That's why it does not smell.

They do honeycomb tripe as well which is not minced just plain ugly lol but the dogs and cats love it!  in fact i think the smellier it is to me the more they adore it! lol

I use Landywoods too.

oh remember raw tripe days except use to go to local abbatoir buy a whole tripe for £2.50, take it home hang it in the garage on a hook from the ceiling and procceed with a very sharp knife to dissect into 1lb lumps, bag it and freeze.
Use to feed 1lb lumps to GSD x2 and Rottweiller... they swallowed it whole, idea being that it sits in the stomach and is digested slowly allow all the goodness to be absorbed....had to feed them outside due to the smell but it was a great food. they looked amazing on it with just some plain biscuit.
CJD put a stop to being able to buy whole tripe direct from abbatoir, if were still able to we would be doing it. Very inexpense way of feeding and dogs looked great and boy did they love it, sitting drooling by garage door whilst choping it up:rolleyes
The freezer packs that you can buy nowadays smelt so much worse then fresh tripe literally just out of the cow complete with some chewed grass....:)
interested if anyone is still able to get it this way??? or use to feed it...
Got the idea from the kennels i use to work at where we fed it this way to the owners gundogs.
