Tripe Dog Treats
-
pkzipper So, somewhat on the same topic I have a 1.5 year old south African mastiff who has bad reactions to chicken and we think beef. He gets diarrhea if he eats any significant amount of either of those. We have him on a lamb dry food but other than rice. rice water and pumpkin does anyone have a good dog diarrhea remedy?

pkzipper Sort of, not by itself but it was in a dry food with venison and that was a large issue for him. The vet keeps checking and finding a certain overgrowth of something in his gut but this one was more just me not paying attention and giving him some steak, a treat with chicken in it and a few other things. Just ordered some pro/prebiotics and we will see what happens from there.
I am interested in if anyone has tried the BARF feeding with their dogs and if so, what do you mix up and how often do you give it to them?

So I Did it!! I made the treats with some success. I used 10 lbs of clean tripe and ground it through a 5/16 plate and used carrot fiber as the binder.
They did not turn out the way I wanted but they are manageable and the Dog loves them.
What was not quite right was the firmness of the finished product. Tripe is a lot more fatty than I thought so no amount cooking was going to firm them up. Not sure what the answer will be to firm them up; more binder or another ingredient like liver.

pkzipper Sure gel would probably help with that but it looks like sodium phosphates (an ingredient in sure gel) can be an issue for dogs. Maybe try Soy protein blend that seems to have a more dog friendly label. The last thing I will suggest is Super Bind. That might actually be a better idea…what it has is carrot fiber and potato starch. The potato starch becomes a gel when it reaches 130° so it would hopefully grab a lot of that moisture.
So, I’d probably try Super Bind, then if you don’t like that (and you are doing it again) try the soy protein blend and see if that is better?

Jonathon you want to watch soy proteins with dogs, it causes skin allergies similar to the mange. They will scratch and it until the bleed. I have had several dogs who were allergic to soy products, carrot fiber and potato starch are much more friendly to the stomachs

I’ll second Super Bind as an effective binder. Great stuff.
