beledi Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I think I read another post somewhere that tripe helps keep teeth clean. Anyone have any input on that. One of our dog food specialty stores is now selling it for $5.99 for two pounds. Cheaper than cans around here. It is fozen so I let it thaw in a container in the bottom of the fridge and scoop out what portion I need. Quote "Then God sent the Greyhound to live among man and remember.

Guest KennelMom Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I know that it really does anything to clean teeth, per se. If feeding tripe, make sure it's green tripe and not the stuff that's been cleaned and bleached...not much nutritional value in that.

Trihounds Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 As far as I know, it has nutritional value only. There is no abrasive action created to help keep teeth clean, like, for example, crunching raw bones (never cooked).

mychip1 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) I have been feeding Trippett. Finally found Trippett locally at a warehouse/distributor here in Rhode Island. EZ likes it better than the other brands - and I like it better because it doesn't have other additives - and since this is simply to encourage him to eat his kibble, that works out better. As far as teeth....well, EZ has horrible teeth - and I don't think the tripe has done much to change that! At least I'm not cooking it anymore - as some of you may remember from a thread I posted on Tripe!!!

XTRAWLD Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 My boys just lick and swallow tripe so I doubt there is any teeth cleaning action going on. It's incredibly good for their system though!

Wonder Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I get it for 45 cents a lb but it does nothing for teeth. Lucky loves it but it smells so awful!

PrairieProf Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 You have a missing "h" on your subtitle and at first I read "does tripe keep feet clean?" I've heard a lot of claims for the magical properties of tripe, but that was really a new one on me! I have heard that the enzymes in tripe supposedly are good for cleaning teeth, but that may be a myth. And that claim would be more applicable to raw tripe than canned.

Greytlady94 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 OP are you talking about the off white stuff? If so it really has no nutritional value at all that I know of.

Greytlady94 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I doubt it will do anything to help clean teeth but they do usually love it. For teeth raw turkey necks, raw beef ribs and dried bully sticks seem to work best for my dogs. Quote Greyhound angels at the bridge- Casey, Charlie, Maggie, Molly, Renie, Lucy & Teddy.
