For those who feed green tripe
I recently tried to feed Bea (shiba) green tripe but she did not want to have anything to do with it. In fact, she tried to rub herself in it. The Mr. slaughters meat once in awhile and so we decided to give her the tripe from a goat. I cut it up in small pieces. How do you guys get it or prepare it? Do you mince it?

She might be trying to rub herself in it cuz of the way it smells lol. I never had a problem trying to get the dogs to eat tripe.
Maybe offer it by hand so Bea can't rub in it? Saya loves tripe, but some dogs take time to like things some don't like it though.
Sounds like Bea is scent rolling in some smelly stuff Bella has rolled into coyote poop once.
Saya had it ground I got a 2lb of it to see how she liked it hope to get it in pieces next time and some in ground up.
Maybe try mixing a bit in the kibble or ground meat?
I am not quite brave enough to feed fresh tripe. The canned stuff smells bad enough, I can only imagine what it would smell like if it were fresh. Ick!
There's another brand of canned tripe called Tripett I'd like to try but I have yet to find it around here, and raw tripe. Shipping raw materials to me is a pain since my location automatically adds another day to the shipping price and that usually includes a $20 increase.
