How well would dogs do if their diet was 100% tripe?
Woaaa baby, a dog cannot live on tripe alone. Tripe is simply another component of feeding towards the whole prey animal. Omit any part and lend yourself towards feeding only one thing and you are in mega trouble.
I see a ton of people touting the wonders of tripe and I am seeing a real leaning towards large quantities of tripe. What gives?
I wonder if we are seeing more mention of tripe now just because I don't really remember tripe being highlighted or made a big deal of in any of the "bibles" (Lonsdale, Billinghurst, et al) except that it's just one more body part in feeding prey model.
Now that it's available to pre-made users in an easy canned food, more people are jumping on the bandwagon (me included!) I personally don't feed a lot of it, just a teaspoon now and then.
I did ask around a bit and most folks agree that while tripe is part of the entire picture it is only a small part and not something that should be fed in huge quantities.
