Want To Green Feed Tripe? Here Are Some Great Reasons To Go For It!
Nearly every raw feeder eventually comes to the point where she feels compelled to investigate the benefits of feeding green tripe to her pets. While there are lots of ways to supplement your pets’ diet, they all add up to a simple belief: feeding tripe is great for your pet! Here’s why.
Our Tripe Selections Are The Best
That’s right, I said it! Put simply, our tripe is superior because:
- Our tripe comes from grass-fed animals.
- We only use the first 2 stomach chambers–the rumen & the reticulum.
- Our tripe is lightly rinsed–never bleached, boiled or denatured.
- Our tripe comes from animals raised in the Midwest–mostly Indiana & Michigan.
- The Schoenborns are fully in charge of quality control, processing & packaging–from start to finish.
Why Feed Green Tripe?
There are so many benefits! Tripe is an excellent source of probiotics & digestive enzymes, a tremendous source of nutrients and a transitioning-to-raw-feeding “booster”. Here are some of the basic, most compelling reasons to feed green tripe.
The Manganese Connection.
One of the oft over-looked minerals in the raw diet is manganese. This mineral, though only required in small amounts, is a critical component in supporting proper blood values, sugar regulation, nerve function, healthy hormone balance, connective tissues and proper calcium absorption. Common sources of Manganese are fur & feathers. However, we find that many raw feeders tend not to feed these portions. Indeed, we sometimes get calls from concerned customers who do not even want small amounts of fur & feathers in our grinds.
Nutrients Galore.
Along with manganese, tripe provides many other necessary minerals, namely calcium & phosphorus. Calcium & phosphorus are also critical minerals that are found in perfect ratios in tripe. Puppy caregivers know that the right calc/phos balance is essential for proper bone growth. Omega 6 & omega 3 fatty acids exist in perfect proportion in green tripe as well. Balancing 3s & 6s tends to cause anxiety amongst raw feeders. So, when you feed tripe, you basically take a “no brainer” approach since it is likely the most varied, balanced source of nutrition of any single meat item.
How Should I Feed Tripe?
Tripe is considered a meat item and is fed as such in either chunk or ground form. It can be fed by itself as an entire meal or as part of a larger recipe. An added benefit of tripe is that its stinky quality and easy-eating can promote an appetite in pets dealing with a lack of motivation due to illness or age.
Tripe, Tripe, All Sorts Of Tripe.

Ground Green Beef Tripe with T & G. Tripe ground with beef trachea & gullet not only provides the myriad of nutritional benefits but also an additional amount of support for pets with joint discomfort. Beef trachea & gullet are a natural source for chondroitin sulfate. Tracheal cartilage has also shown success in helping to isolate cancers, tumors & other diseases by preventing their growth & spread.
Ground Green Beef Tripe Supermix. It’s our flagship product. This popular selection provides the meat, bones & organs essential for a complete raw meal. Tripe Supermix is lighter in bone content than a Whole Prey selection. Keep in mind, it is absolutely fine to feed just 100% tripe for a meal so long as you increase the bones & organs you feed to make up for them over the next few days.
Green Beef Tripe Strips. Looking to add more chunk-style food to your pets’ diet? Tripe strips have a chewy, textured quality that gently massages your carnivore’s gums & scrapes their teeth as they masticate. It is the ‘toothbrush’ of meats.
