yellowgirl Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi all ;) , I've got some more homework for you Green Tripe has been mentioned and discussed several times in our feeding and nutrition chats, the only problem is that it's almost impossible to get in Australia due to health regulations ;) . A bit of info about it ... http://www.thedogbowl.com/PPF/category_ID/0_84/dogbowl.asp http://www.naturmix.com/pages/news_articles/mary_voss.html http://www.truecarnivores.com/greentripe.shtml I'm thinking about importing the Tripett cans and Petkind treats (both from the same company) into Australia. It's currently only available in America and Canada. Can you guys take a look at the websites below and let me know what you think of the products? I've been doing a fair bit of research and it seems that the only people who don't like it are the really strict prey-model feeders, mostly from overseas who wouldn't touch anything if it's presented in a can (and who are also able to source their own fresh green tripe). It gets rave reviews from others. I'm negotiating with the company at the moment, and hopefully will get some samples and more nutritional info soon. ;) Could you let me know... 1. what's your overall impression of the products? 2. would it be worth bringing them into Australia as an accessible green tripe source? 3. would you buy it? (I yes, why.. if no, why not?) :p Tripett ... http://www.tripett.com http://olivegreendog.com/tripett-green-beef-tripe.html PetKind Treats ... http://olivegreendog.com/petkind-tripe-treats.html I'm also interested in the Ziwipeak range. I received some samples of the air-dried food and my dogs went balistic over it! The canned food contains some green tripe and I'd be interested to hear from those of you who have tried the air-dried and/or the canned products. Ziwipeak ... http://www.ziwipeak.com/nzl/cuisinefamily.shtml Many thanks Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staranais Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I'd give it a go if I lived closer to you, and the price was reasonable, it looks good to me. Although I wonder if the canned or dehydrated tripe, while having most the same nutrients as fresh tripe, wouldn't contain the live rumen bacteria after processing? Not sure if that would make any difference to the benefits of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I go ahead with it, I'll be selling it online & local pick ups ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't processed to human standards Yellowgirl, it might have to be irradiated on import. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowgirl Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Yes, that's one of the things the manufacturer is looking into for me. Does anyone know if irradiation applies to canned products? I thought it was mostly bagged foods. I'll need to look into it further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diva Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 If you brought it in at a reasonable price - say around what Ziwipeak is - I'd try it. I don't feed any canned food normally (except sardines) but have just started trying the Ziwipeak tripe out of curiosity. A can of that is about 44% tripe I think (off the top of my head, so probably a bit out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvus Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I'd try it. I hear it's very good for dogs and I have fun feeding new things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
