Tripe Dry Single Animal Protein Lamb & Lamb Tripe Weight Management Dry Dog Food

Verified Jul 20, 2026

Dog · Dry Puppy Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a lamb-based dry dog food that uses lamb meal and lamb tripe as its main animal protein sources, with sweet potato and potato providing the carbohydrates. It’s formulated as an all-life-stages diet with moderate protein and fat to help support healthy weight, and it includes added omega fatty acids, probiotics, and a variety of fruits and vegetables. It’s suitable for puppies and adult dogs who do well on a single-animal-protein lamb formula, including dogs needing calorie control.

8.8 out of 10

Strong Choice

Overall, this is a high-quality, lamb-based dry food with a moderate calorie density that can work well for many dogs needing weight management while still meeting all-life-stages requirements. The protein and fat levels are on the leaner side for a dry food, and the use of lamb meal plus lamb tripe provides good-quality, animal-based protein. It also offers a nice mix of omega fats, probiotics, and fiber sources, making it a solid option for healthy adult dogs and many puppies who tolerate lamb and potato well.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Single animal protein from lamb (lamb meal and lamb tripe) is helpful for dogs that need to avoid other meat proteins.
  • Moderate protein (about 29% on a dry matter basis) and relatively low fat (about 11% dry matter) with 3130 kcal/kg makes it well-suited to weight management while still meeting all-life-stages needs.
  • Includes omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, probiotics, and mixed fiber sources (sweet potato, beet pulp, flaxseed, alfalfa) that can support skin, coat, and digestive health.
  • Complete and balanced to AAFCO standards for all life stages, so it can be used for adult dogs and many puppies as a main diet.

Considerations

  • Main carbohydrates are sweet potato and potato, so this is not grain-inclusive; some pet owners may prefer a grain-inclusive formula for variety or if their vet recommends it.
  • Lamb and lamb tripe are animal proteins that can be allergens for some sensitive dogs, especially if they’ve eaten a lot of lamb-based foods before.
  • Calcium is relatively high at 1.8% on a dry matter basis, which is fine for most puppies and adults but may not be ideal for very large-breed puppies where precise calcium and calcium-to-phosphorus control is important.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Lamb
Lamb is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a high-quality animal protein that supplies essential amino acids, iron and B vitamins and is often chosen for its palatability or as a “novel” protein in elimination diets. It can be higher in fat and calories than some other meats and may still cause allergic reactions in sensitive animals, so owners of overweight pets or those with food sensitivities should consult a veterinarian and use proper handling/cooking practices if feeding raw or homemade lamb.

02
Lamb Tripe
Lamb tripe is the stomach lining of lambs commonly used in dog and cat foods as a highly palatable animal-based protein and flavor enhancer that also supplies fat, digestible amino acids, B vitamins (notably B12), iron and other trace minerals. It can provide natural digestive enzymes and, when unwashed, beneficial microbes, but its strong odor, higher fat content and risk of spoilage or pathogen contamination mean it should be properly sourced and handled, introduced gradually to avoid GI upset, and included as part of a balanced diet rather than the sole ingredient.
03
Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber, vitamins (notably beta‑carotene), minerals and antioxidants, often helping with stool quality and serving as a binder or energy ingredient. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and can support gut health, but because cats poorly convert beta‑carotene to vitamin A and require preformed vitamin A from animal sources, sweet potato is not a substitute for meat-based nutrients; its relatively high carbohydrate content also means portion control is advised for overweight or diabetic pets and it should be cooked for best digestibility.

04
Potato
Potato is commonly used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate source and functional binder, supplying starch, fiber, and modest amounts of vitamins (B6, C) and potassium—often included as cooked or dehydrated flakes, starch, or protein concentrates. While it provides energy and helps formulate grain‑free recipes, potatoes are not a primary protein for dogs or cats (and are not nutritionally required for obligate‑carnivore cats), can contribute to excess calories or affect blood glucose in diabetic animals, and must be cooked and free of green skins or sprouts to avoid solanine toxicity; allergies are uncommon but possible.
View ingredient
05
Flaxseed
Flaxseed is used in pet foods as a plant-based source of alpha‑linolenic acid (ALA) omega‑3, soluble and insoluble fiber, and modest protein, often added to support skin and coat condition, digestive health, and kibble texture; ground seed or flaxseed oil is more digestible than whole seed. Dogs can partially convert ALA to long‑chain EPA/DHA but cats convert ALA poorly and therefore still need marine sources for essential DHA/EPA; flax is calorie‑dense, prone to oxidation if not stabilized, and contains lignans (phytoestrogens) and trace cyanogenic compounds, so it should be processed and used in moderation.
