Tripe Dry Green Tripe & Bison Formula Dry Dog Food
Verified Jun 15, 2026
This is a high-protein dry dog food featuring beef and bison green tripe along with turkey and chicken meals as the main animal protein sources. It uses peas and lentils for carbohydrates and includes added salmon oil, flaxseed, taurine, and probiotics for additional nutritional support. The formula is designed for dogs of all ages, including puppies and breeding females, and is formulated to be complete and balanced for all life stages.
Nutritionally, this is a well-balanced, higher-protein dry food with multiple animal protein sources and a solid fat profile for dogs at all life stages. The added taurine, probiotics, and omega-3 and -6 fatty acids are nice extras, and the calcium and phosphorus levels are appropriate for growth and adult maintenance. Because it is grain-free and relies heavily on peas and lentils, it may not be the best first choice for breeds where heart disease risk and diet are a concern.

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
Bison Tripe
Bison tripe is the cleaned stomach lining of bison used in pet foods as a novel animal protein and palatability enhancer that provides moisture, easily digested protein and palatable fats; raw “green” tripe is sometimes valued for naturally occurring digestive enzymes and beneficial microbes. It can suit both dogs and cats—especially picky eaters or those needing a novel protein—but has a strong odor, variable fat content and potential bacterial risks when raw, so choose reputable, properly processed sources and avoid for pets with pancreatitis or other fat-restricted/veterinary diets.
03
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.
04
Pea
Pea is a plant-based ingredient used in pet foods as a source of protein, soluble and insoluble fiber, and micronutrients (often included as whole peas, pea flour, or pea protein concentrate) to boost protein content and improve texture. While peas can provide digestible carbohydrates, fiber, and some plant protein useful especially for dogs, they are not a complete protein for obligate carnivores like cats and — when overused, particularly in concentrated forms or as a major component of grain‑free diets — have been scrutinized for a possible association with canine dilated cardiomyopathy and can contribute to nutrient imbalances or excess calories, so balanced formulation and compliance with AAFCO nutritional profiles are important.
05
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.
