Green tripe is a very interesting addition to your pet's diet.

We can say that it is a superfood , rich in probiotics and digestive enzymes capable of strengthening your dog's immune and digestive system .

What is green tripe and what are its benefits?

It is the first of the four stomachs of ruminants (cows, sheep, deer, goats, etc.), and although it has a strong odor , which can be unpleasant, it is a very interesting piece to include in your pet's raw diet . Why? Dogs happily eat green intestines , it has a perfect 1:1 calcium and phosphorus ratio, an excellent protein ratio (13%) and also fat (9-10%) .

It is a food rich in probiotics , it promotes the good condition and diversity of the intestinal microbiota , thus strengthening the immune system and reducing the likelihood of infection by harmful bacteria such as e-coli , listeria or salmonella . In addition, it is very useful for digestion . Your dog will need less energy to digest his meals thanks to green tripe, so he will get more nutrients from the food and it will help eliminate toxins , fungi and parasites , and also purify the bloodstream and generate more vitamin B.

It is very important , if you are going to offer green tripe to your pet, that it retains all of its properties. For this reason, it is essential that it is raw and not bleached or washed . Under no circumstances should it be cooked , since its digestive enzymes are destroyed if exposed to high temperatures.

Beef and lamb green tripe are both great dog foods, but they do have some nutritional and compositional differences. Beef green tripe is generally higher in protein and fat , and is an ideal source of calcium and phosphorus , with a good balance that supports healthy bones and teeth. It is also particularly helpful in supporting the immune system and digestion, thanks to the presence of probiotics and digestive enzymes . On the other hand, lamb green tripe tends to have a lighter nutritional profile, with a lower fat content than beef, making it a better choice for dogs that require a lower calorie diet or need a more digestible food. Lamb tripe is also particularly good for dogs with food sensitivities, as it is less common as a cause of allergies than beef. Both types of tripe, when fed raw and of high quality, have numerous benefits, but the choice you make will depend on your dog's specific needs.
