Nutriment Adult Dog Just Raw Tripe Chubb Frozen

Green tripe is the one thing in a raw feeder's freezer that the dog is more enthusiastic about than the owner. The smell is the point rather than the drawback, and it is why tripe gets used as the thing that makes the rest of the bowl acceptable to a fussy dog.

There is one ingredient here and it is British beef green tripe at 100%. Nutriment do not add fillers, additives or preservatives, and they say the tripe is selected as high-quality and ethically reared. Typical analysis as fed is moisture 73.5%, protein 14%, fat 11%, ash (inorganic matter) 0.9% and fibre 0.5%. It arrives frozen in a 1.4KG chubb, and it is sold as a mixer or as the base of a home-made raw recipe.

• 1.4KG frozen chubb
• British beef green tripe, 100%, single ingredient
• Free from fillers, additives and preservatives
• Moisture 73.5%, protein 14%, fat 11%
• Ash (inorganic matter) 0.9%, fibre 0.5%
• Complementary food, not a complete diet

On the word "complementary". Nutriment are explicit that this is not a complete food, and the ash figure tells you why — ash is where the mineral content shows up, and at 0.9% there is very little of it. Tripe fed on its own is not a diet, and building one around it is a job to do with your vet rather than off a product page. Practically: it arrives frozen and needs freezer space from the moment it lands, and no defrosting instruction or in-fridge shelf life has been supplied to us, so work to what is printed on the chubb.

Who it's for: people already feeding raw who want a single-ingredient mixer they can control, and owners of fussy dogs looking for something to make a bowl worth finishing.
