Is Tripe Good For Dogs?

Dogs benefit from tripe as it contains a number of nutrients. It contains Omega 3 fatty acids, Omega 6 fatty acids, enzymes, phytonutrients and probiotics.

It is considered perfect for dogs. Tripe is from the stomach lining of animals, especially bovines. The only known disadvantage of tripe is that it can smell. The reason for the unpleasant odour is that on occasion matter in the form of left over food may still remain in the animals' stomach.

This may seem unpleasant and disgusting to humans but is a delicacy amongst dogs. The most common type used in dog food is green tripe. It is called so due to a high proportion of chlorophyll it contains.
