Butchers Tripe Mix (GB label) review

Name: Butchers Tripe Mix (GB label)
Brand: Butchers

82.4/100Outstanding

WetAdult

The GB labelled Tripe Mix, and it lands in our Outstanding band. Tripe at 39% including its broth is the backbone of the recipe, and every animal carries a percentage. Chicken at 41.5% keeps it from being the all red meat tin the name suggests.

Where to buy: coming soon

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that need tempting back to the bowl. Tripe does the persuading
Owners feeding without cereal
Dogs built for red meat, with beef and its tripe the largest share
Owners who want organ meat named: liver at 3%
Single dog households, with single cans as well as packs

Worth watching

Chicken in near equal measure, so no good for a dog avoiding poultry
Salmon oil, which stops it working as a single animal diet
Strong smell. Cover an opened can and use it within a day or two
