Tripett Lamb Tripe Dry Dog Food

Verified Aug 26, 2026

Dog · Dry All Life Stages All Breed Sizes

This is an all-life-stages dry dog food built around lamb tripe, lamb, and lamb meal as the main animal protein sources. It uses lentils, chickpeas, and peas for carbohydrates, and adds herring oil and flaxseed to supply omega fatty acids, along with probiotics and a variety of fruits and vegetables. The nutrient profile and AAFCO All Life Stages formulation make it suitable for puppies, adults, and pregnant or nursing dogs when fed as directed.

KibbleLab Score
8.3 out of 10

Strong Choice

Overall, this is a solid, moderately high-protein dry food that can work for many dogs, including puppies and pregnant or nursing females, as it meets AAFCO standards for all life stages. Lamb-based proteins and tripe make it appealing for dogs who do well on lamb, and the fat level is reasonable for everyday feeding. The heavy use of pulses (lentils, chickpeas, peas) as main carbohydrate sources does raise the same heart-health questions seen with many grain-free formulas, so I’d be a bit cautious with breeds already at higher risk for heart disease.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Lamb tripe, lamb, and lamb meal provide animal-based protein as the foundation of the diet.
  • The protein and fat levels are appropriate for an all-life-stages dry dog food for most healthy dogs.
  • Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from herring oil and flaxseed support skin, coat, and overall health.
  • Includes added probiotic cultures, which may help support a healthy digestive tract.

Considerations

  • Lentils, chickpeas, peas, and pea starch are major carbohydrate sources, making this a legume-heavy, grain-free diet.
  • Current research links some legume-heavy, grain-free diets to heart issues in certain dogs, so this may not be ideal for breeds prone to heart disease.
  • Contains lamb and fish, so it is not a good choice for dogs with known allergies to these proteins.
  • Formulated by AAFCO profiles rather than feeding trials, so real-world digestibility has not been formally tested.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
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.
02
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.

04
Lentil
Lentils are a plant-based source of protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber and micronutrients (notably folate and iron) commonly used in pet foods to add bulk, promote satiety and help moderate post-meal blood sugar. They can be a useful ingredient for dogs when properly processed and balanced with animal-derived amino acids, but lentil protein is less digestible and incomplete for obligate carnivores like cats; high legume inclusion can also increase gas or digestive upset and has been discussed in the context of diet-associated heart concerns in dogs, so lentils should be used in nutritionally complete, vetted formulations.
View ingredient
05
Chickpea
Chickpeas are a legume commonly used in pet foods as a plant-based protein, source of digestible carbohydrates, and supply of soluble and insoluble fiber that helps with stool quality and satiety. They can be a useful ingredient for dogs but are not a complete protein for obligate carnivores like cats and may cause gas or digestive upset if underprocessed; additionally, high inclusion of legumes in some grain‑free diets has been discussed as a potential factor in canine dilated cardiomyopathy so diets should be balanced and any concerns discussed with your veterinarian.
