The Buffalo Co. Buffalo Tripe – 100g Natural Dog Treat

The Buffalo Co. Buffalo Tripe – 100g

Air-dried buffalo tripe from grass-fed, free-range animals. Tripe smells strongly and unmistakably — unpleasant to people, irresistible to dogs — and that is precisely the point of it. It is the treat to reach for when a dog has gone off its food, is convalescing, or simply will not take a reward from your hand in a distracting place.

Nutritionally it is an odd one: 80% crude protein but only 11% fat, so it is leaner than paddywack while being far more palatable than most lean treats. The Buffalo Co. also point to the probiotics naturally present in the digestive tract the tripe comes from.

Performance & Benefits

• 100g of air-dried buffalo tripe, single ingredient.
• 80% crude protein with 11% crude fat.
• Exceptionally palatable — it works where other treats are refused.
• Carries calcium and phosphorus, and the probiotics naturally present in tripe.
• Free-range, grass-fed buffalo; no artificial additives, preservatives or colours.
• Tears easily into small pieces for training use.

Suitable For

• Fussy eaters and dogs that have gone off their food.
• High-value training rewards where distraction is the problem.
• Dogs needing a bit of digestive support alongside their normal diet.
• Adult dogs of any size, and puppies past weaning in small pieces.
• Not the one for a household sensitive to smell — The Buffalo Co. Buffalo Lung Steaks give similar palatability with far less odour.

Feeding

• Feed as a complementary treat alongside a complete, balanced diet.
• Tear into smaller pieces for training or for a small dog.
• Introduce gradually if your dog is new to offal treats.
• Provide fresh drinking water, as The Buffalo Co. ask.
• Reseal and keep in a cool, dry place; the smell travels.
