This is Kiki, our 5 year old germen shepherd. She has been on your Green Tripe product since she was a pupply. She lives a very active lifestyle hiking and frisbee every day. She is 90 pounds and even at her size with all of the runnning and jumping we have never had ANY medical issues with her. I credit her food as a major contributor to her awsome health. Thank you for a wonderful product.

This food saved my dog's life. We were advised by the vet hospital that we should think about putting him down due to kidney failure. He had not eaten in 14 days and had to have IV injected to keep him alive. I said let me try one more thing. I let him smell the green tripe and he took a bite. The rest is healthy history. Thank you Green Tripe.

Mary Voss and the Green Tripe Co. have been nothing short of a blessing to both myself and our tiger Spanky. When our veterinarian Dr. Jackie Gai, diagnosed Spanky with a pancreatic insufficiency we were amazed at the cost of a powdered form of enzymes.

After researching and finding that raw pancreas would be the best form for him, we came upon Mary and her company. Mary was not only able to keep a supply coming for Spanky, she graciously volunteered to give us the pancreas at no cost to us. Being a nonprofit organization, we are always grateful for any donations. We feel Mary has gone above and beyond to assist us in our continuing care of Spanky and we will be always grateful.

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 ) I've told him I want him to pass his CGC test on Saturday and not blow it off because I *know* he can do it! ...I think I have a dog who is now *very* motivated to pass. [:-)]

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!

I have four dogs total who eat tripe at Greentripe.com.  They have benefited enormously from the Greentripe product line.  Two of them in particular are dependent on having tripe as their main entrée every day, else they will suffer from serious symptom flares.  Out of those two, one of them is an elderly dog who is 50 lbs and will turn 13 years of age this September.  He has a host of problems that occurred prior to the introduction of tripe a few years back: TPLO surgery, elbow dysplasia, GI/Diarrhea problems, Bronchitis, Elevated ALT levels, Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM), carbohydrate intolerance and fat malabsorption problems.  Sheep or Beef green tripe are the only foods that keep many of his symptoms in check.

I discovered the positive connections to greentripe through thoroughly documenting his food intake, and through performing extensive blood tests, X-rays and abdominal scans for several months and years.  I observed this pattern again and again: whenever I introduced foods other than tripe one-at-a-time, his symptoms would get worse. I suspect that tripe’s low fat content is one reason that it works so well in controlling his ALT levels.

There was a time where other meats outside of tripe triggered a spike in this ALT levels which triggered a pancreatic flare.  I thought for sure he was a goner.  I was stunned to discover that it was the tripe that produced the least damaging symptom effects, and a subsequent dramatic lowering of his ALT levels.  NOTE: His liver stress issues are extrahepatic in nature, as confirmed by his internist.

Because I have been able to keep his symptoms in check since 2011, he’s still has a sparkly puppy temperament.  As a matter of fact, I have to curtail his want to run and bound about, because those actions will exacerbate the elbow dysplasia!

So far, he has not needed any pain medications.  And the vets always marvel at how great he looks given his age.

I have two dogs who have atopic dermatitis.  Both have had their symptoms brought under control through eating tripe.  One is allergic to grass.  I discovered that Greentripe.com offers a Calf Excaliber product, which is composed of meat from calves that only suckled their mothers.  The calves have not consumed grass during their lifespans.  This product brought the grass-allergic dog’s symptoms under control.  The act of chewing on his foot as if it were a piece of chicken drumstick, is a distant thing of the past.

The fourth dog is the only dog that I own that can eat virtually any food, without the foods resulting in diarrhea or allergy symptoms.  However, since he has hip dysplasia with Mod+ arthritis, I want to keep that problem in check.  He has less pain when given beef or sheep greentripe, so he too is fed Greentripe products every day.  He also had some health ups and downs due to spleen problems (which led to a spleenectomy) and unknown brewing infections of the teeth that likely went on for months.  When these problems were affecting him, tripe had the most gentle effect on his digestion process, and he was also less fatigued.

I believe it’s not just the tripe per se that is so beneficial to all my dogs’ health.  It the fact that Greentripe.com’s product line are organic and grassfed (with the exception of their calf products) in a USDA inspected facility.  This was the driving factor in my selecting this facility for their products.

There’s no doubt about it, tripe consumption results in an exceptional quality of life for all my dogs.  Their physical and mental health are extraordinary given their ages.  None of them have the need to be on any prescription medications since the tripe so effectively keeps their symptoms under control.  As a matter-of-fact I have to stock up on Greentripe product line to ensure that I will have enough food in the event of a disaster!  Their products are literally life savers and bring me and my dogs incredible peace-of-mind!
