Tripe Dry Green Tripe & High Skies Formula Dry Cat Food
Verified Jun 6, 2026
This is a high-meat dry cat food for all life stages, built around beef green tripe plus chicken and turkey meals as the main protein sources. It combines moderate protein and fat with a relatively high carbohydrate level from sweet potato, potato, oats, barley, lentils, and pea protein. Added taurine, omega fatty acids, and probiotic cultures round out the formula for everyday feeding of kittens through adult cats.
Nutritionally, this is a solid all-life-stages dry food with multiple named animal proteins at the top of the ingredient list and an appropriate balance of protein, fat, and minerals for most healthy cats. The use of green tripe, poultry meals, and added taurine supports good amino acid availability, and the inclusion of probiotic cultures and omega fatty acids is a plus. The main nutritional downside is the fairly high carbohydrate content for a cat food, and it relies on formulation rather than feeding trials for AAFCO compliance.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Multiple named animal proteins (beef tripe, turkey meal, chicken meal, fresh turkey and chicken) make up the core of the diet, offering good-quality, varied protein sources.
- AAFCO complete and balanced for all life stages, so it can be used for kittens, adults, and pregnant/nursing cats if portions are adjusted appropriately.
- Includes several probiotic fermentation products plus omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which can support digestive and skin/coat health.
- Mineral levels (including magnesium and phosphorus) are clearly defined, and taurine is supplemented at a generous level for heart and eye health.
Considerations
- The carbohydrate level is relatively high for a feline diet, coming from potatoes, sweet potato, oats, barley, lentils, and pea protein, which may not be ideal for very carb-sensitive or overweight cats.
- Contains common protein allergens such as beef, chicken, turkey, and duck, so it would not be suitable for cats needing a limited-ingredient or novel-protein diet.
- Legumes (pea protein, green lentils) are included among the carbohydrate sources; while DCM concerns are primarily documented in dogs, some owners prefer to limit legumes in pet foods.
- AAFCO adequacy is based on nutrient formulation rather than feeding trials, so actual digestibility and real-world performance have not been verified through trial data.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Beef Tripe
Beef tripe (the cow’s stomach lining) is used in pet foods and treats as an animal-based protein source and palatability enhancer, often found in raw, frozen, or minimally processed diets and supplying digestible protein, fats, and some vitamins and minerals. It can also contain natural digestive enzymes and microbes that some claim support gut health, but it is often high in fat and odor, so owners should consider product sourcing and processing, monitor fat-sensitive pets (e.g., those with pancreatitis), and handle or cook it properly to reduce bacterial risk.
02
Turkey
Turkey is commonly used as a primary animal protein in dog and cat foods, offering highly digestible, high‑quality protein and supplying essential amino acids along with B vitamins, phosphorus and zinc to support muscle maintenance and metabolism. Its fat level varies by cut so products can be lean or richer; some pets may develop allergies to poultry, cooked bones are hazardous, raw meat carries bacterial risk, and owners should rely on balanced commercial formulations (and ensure adequate taurine for cats) if turkey is a main ingredient.
03
Chicken
Chicken is a common animal-based protein in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, and energy-dense fats that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health; for cats it also contributes toward dietary taurine but must be present in sufficient amounts or provided via supplementation. It is prized for its digestibility and palatability, though some pets develop sensitivities or allergies to chicken, and nutritional value and safety depend on ingredient quality and processing—raw chicken carries pathogen risks and whole bones can pose choking or GI hazards.
