Are you talking about their DOG food?

I've used Feline Naturals, which is made by K9, but the only thing I can find on the lamb tripe is their DOG food.

I feed my 5 month old ragdoll Feline Natural, same manufacturer as K9, Freeze dried chicken and lamb. Since he was a dry food addict, it has been a good way for him to switch to raw. Feline Natural is awesome since it has no undesirable added extras, just chicken, lamb, bone and green lipped muscle. Since the lamb has a strong smell, he has also taken to eating  commercially frozen raw lamb for cats. Lamb is very high in fat and have noticed it can cause loose stools, other than that...............

Yes I'm talking about the dog food. I have no other means of getting green tripe here :( I don't want to feed bleached ones to I thought I'll give this a go? Is that bad. I know some raw feeders are feeding this

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
I'm not sure that canned green tripe has the same benefits as raw though. One of the main reasons for feeding it is the natural probiotics in it. But those would be killed by the cooking process used for canning it. :dk:

I don't think I'd feed it as a cat's ONLY source of food, since it's for dogs and doesn't have all the essentials, like added Taurine.  I say that because it's not STRAIGHT green tripe, even though the name implies that it is.  The ingredients say blood, bone, tripe, liver, heart and kidney plus vegetables, fruit, egg and green lipped mussel (at least this is what Amazon shows)   As TREATS I would say this should be ok.

Laurie, this is freeze dried raw, not canned

Aye Aye cap. Thank you for your input *flying kisses *. Hoping to brace myself because of the smell
