Tripett Green Beef Tripe Canned Dog Food

NEW Duck & Salmon Tripett Advanced Skin+Coat Formula for Dogs now also available!
In the Advanced Skin+Coat Formula Tripett has added Duck, Salmon and Menhaden Fish Oil to their Green Beef Tripe to provide optimum skin and coat health and conditioning. They have also added glucosamine and chondroitin to promote healthy joint cartilage.

As carnivores, dogs have an instinctive desire to eat nutrient-rich green tripe. They cannot convert vegetation into nutrients within their own stomach, but, when they eat tripe, they receive these nutrients from grasses and grains that have been already processed naturally by the cow's stomach system.

     Also present within the tripe are naturally occurring gastric juices, amino acids and other digestive enzymes not found in other pet food. These gastric juices and enzymes aid pets in digestion to efficiently utilize food for maximum nutrition. Amino acids are necessary for muscular development and other gastric juices are excellent cleaners for teeth.

     Green tripe contains a healthy and proportional range of bio-chemicals by weight and volume. It contains Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids and has an exceptional balance of calcium to phosphorus. The overall pH is slightly acidic, which is better for digestion. Also present within the tripe are naturally occurring gastric juices, amino acids and other digestive enzymes not found in other pet food. These gastric juices and enzymes aid pets in digestion to efficiently utilize food for maximum nutrition. Amino acids are necessary for muscular development and other gastric juices are excellent cleaners for teeth.
Benefits of eating Tripett include:
* Improved appetite and digestion
* Cleaner teeth
* Dry and itchy skin problems improved or eliminated
* Coats with richer color, shine and lower susceptibility to fleas
* Calmer temperaments
* Decreased waste in feces
