Yes, lamb is expensive and even on sale it's still around 4 dollars per pound so I only feed that sometimes. What you're doing is exactly right for scrubbing those teeth. A more dense bone will not help the process along but could actually chip a tooth! *Horribly diseased* teeth and gums will take about 3-6 months of prey model feeding to look good so give your dog some time!
Fresh tripe looks like a furry, green/brown blanket and does nothing for teeth cleaning but is indeed very good to feed to our dogs! Green, unbleached tripe is the only kind that has nutritional value and it's against the law to sell it this way for human consumption. So what you're seeing at your grocery store is bleached, cleaned and processed tripe. Unless you have access to a slaughterhouse or local farmer, you will have to order green tripe online. My local raw food coop sells this and while I don't purchase anything else from them, tripe is what I do buy and one of the only things that I will feed ground. I found out about my coop by joining the raw feeders supplier's list on yahoo groups. Here are some online places you can order from: GreenTripe.Com Main Index Hare Today, Gone Tommorow Prey 4 Pets Product List |
I love the first website and I've seen it before but the shipping is just way too expensive. But THANK YOU so much for posting the Prey 4 Pets website because the shipping is much more reasonable!! I just placed an order!!!
THANK YOU!
