never had her teeth cleaned.
Don't have a clue how many dogs we have fed on dry dogfood over the years but it has been a lot and have never had a dog have its teeth cleaned.
For you guys in the heartland or down south, I am sure you can find an animal going to slaughter just ask the guy it keep and grind the the trip for you. Just to clarify, green tripe does stink to high heaven but it is not manure it is one of the stomachs in the cow, sheep, goat, etc.
Could you tell us what we need to grind tripe? Tripe is the stomach lining itself and not the contents. They use the term green tripe to cover the contents of the rumen which is just slightly chewed roughage and a whole lot of bacteria. It is a stinky way to feed fiber that maybe partially digested depending on how long it has been there which is important since a dog can't digest cellulose, before going to the first true stomach. You get the same benefit out of beet pulp since the avantage of both is it a source of fiber that the dog can digest.
And also what do you find so disgusting about nice clean corn, rice, soybeans, flax seed, or any of the other ingredients used in dry food?
I would guess you have never seen dogfood manufactured or understand even how it is done. You should try to visit a mill and see what actually goes in to the feed and all of the steps that are taken to find, purchase, store, and manufacture the feed to insure it is clean and healthy for your animals.
