My nine year old Rottweiler, Samantha, has Pancreatitis. Her body doesn't make exocrine enzymes, which allows the body to breakdown and absorb food. There is one medication on the market, which we used for a while, but Samantha developed an allergy to it. After discontinuing the medication Sam lost 20 lbs and was literally starving to death, her body was shutting down. She was losing her fur, was developing elephant skin, and had absolutely no energy.
Mary, the day I met you was a turning point in our lives. Thank you for introducing me to Green Tripe and a raw diet. For the past two months Sam's diet has consisted of Green Tripe, raw beef pancreas and a bit of Innova kibble.
Her recovery has been nothing short of a miracle. We started the raw diet on Wednesday July 3rd, 2002. Sam's weight that day was 66 lbs. Her first weigh-in was on Monday July 8th. She had gained 6 lbs in just 5 days. Weigh-ins continued every 3 - 4 days for the next few weeks, each time we saw an increase of 2 - 3lbs. Her last weigh-in was Friday, August 16th. Her weight was 83.4 lbs, 1.5 lbs under her normal weight. Sam's fur has grown back and her energy level is way up. For the first time she is playing with other dogs in our house.
Mary, thank you so much for the information you have given, the time you have donated toward Samantha's recovery and your incredible generosity. You truly saved her life and have allowed me more time with one of my best friends.
Sincerely, |

Hi Mary: I had some really good news today and I posted it to my K9Kidneys web group. I wanted to share it with you too, for you "testimonials", so below is a copy of what I posted:
"I just got good news and wanted to share it with you guys: Clarkie's creatinine is down to 3.8.....it was 4.7 one month ago! Since I got the report of 4.7, the changes I made have been that the only protein source he gets is green tripe or cottage cheese, and I increased his subQs from twice a week to three times a week. I still give him veggies mixed with the green tripe, and I have made no changes to his meds. Plus, as I have already said several times, the green tripe is responsible for him eating again, when he was starting to not eat anything I gave him! I was hoping to be able to have good results with the green tripe....this is the proof I was hoping for! My vet is amazed too! She is beginning to get interested in learning about green tripe!"
Mary, I don't know if you've had any experience with kidney failure, but it is next to impossible to bring a creatinine value DOWN. The most you can hope for, as the kidneys slowly decline, is either to slow down the decline, or if something WONDERFUL happens, to have the creatinine remain the same! I couldn't believe that it went down, and almost one full point!! The significance of that is amazing! I know it is only a temporary improvement, but I am still thrilled. The blood test before last, it was 3.5, then it jumped to 4.7, and I was prepared for the beginning of a decline, especially since he had started not to eat. So you can imagine my excitement at this latest reading. Plus, the fact that now he is eating again; he has his days where I have to coax him a little, but he still loves the green tripe enough to eat almost everything I give him.....I can grate veggies into it and put his many (about 12) pills into it, and he will get it all down.
Just wanted to let you know.
Thanks, Penny Alfonso |

As disgusting as it is, I have to post a success for this morning's
breakfast: I haven't been able to coax a veggie or fruit into Clarkie for almost 10 days, and yesterday I received my order of green tripe, so this morning I grated my usual array of veggies, mixed it with green tripe, and he dove into it and asked for more! If you can stand the smell early in the morning (it takes a lot of love to do this!!!), it is worth it! Now, hopefully the little monkey won't make a liar out of me and refuse this at dinner
time, but at least it was a major victory this morning!
As usual, Lewis eats anything anyhow, and this morning's "treat" made him so happy, he volunteered to wash the dishes for me!!!!
Just reporting in!

Fred thinks he died and went to heaven! Today our 6 lbs of Liver Biscotti
arrived (that's 3600 liver biscotti treats!), and our 8 lb green tripe
sampler was also awaiting us. I tell ya, I've got the best behaved dog on
the planet. He's just following me around tonight, licking his chops,
saying "What would you like me to do?" (The joys of having a
food-motivated dog
The green tripe is truly the stinkiest stuff I've ever encountered. And having been a lifelong dog and cat person, I've encountered my fair share of grossly smelly yucky stuff. But the green tripe takes the prize, hands down. Ohmigawd, Julie, how do you ever manage it?
Fred, however, thinks it is the food of the (dog) gods. He was literally
salivating while I spooned the stuff into his bowl. (And this from a dog
who takes for granted that his meals will consist of lamb shanks, chicken
backs, beef ribs, turkey necks.) He's never been one to inhale his
food. He savors it. And tonight he practically caressed every bite, then
lovingly licked his bowl for about 5 minutes afterwards. He's still in a
trance. I needn't have bothered with the sampler package. I should have
just bought stock in the company!

Greentripe.com: Great food, great company!
I had fed green tripe before, but the business I had previously dealt with stopped shipping to my area. Luckily, I heard about Greentripe.com. The product is great, and the service impeccable. It is very carefully packed and arrives frozen solid.
Best of all, the dogs thrive on it. And...the enthusiasm of a dog for green tripe is a phenomenon not to be missed. They are beside themselves with pleasure and enthusiasm. Order those pups some tripe. They will adore you for it, and they will be getting excellent nutrition.

From: Lyle Coleman - Strathcona Norfolk Terriers, July 17, 2001
I decided to write you a short note regarding my Norfolk Terriers (pups and adults) and Green Tripe.
They all, young and old, love the "stuff". We have 9 week old pups that were weaned on BARF. Whenever we put chicken, turkey, lamb, or beef in the bowl with a TBSP. of the tripe, every one of them dives for the tripe first...every time. Whenever we take out a freshly defrosted roll and allow the lovely aromatic odors to permeate the feeding area (the kitchen and the rest of the house) the rest of the "group" goes wild. They just can't wait to get at the "stuff". Hey, if they're happy we're happy, and this is definitely a healthier and less expensive alternative to the commercially processed, manufactured product.
As an aside, I must applaud your diligence and service. The product arrives on time and in perfect condition.
I am convinced that this is great "stuff" for dogs, and as long as I have dogs I will continue to be a customer.
Thank you,
Lyle Coleman (Strathcona Norfolk Terriers) |
