satisfying chew (helping to reduce tarter and maintain your dogs teeth and gums).
So what exactly is Green Tripe?
Green Tripe is the stomach of ruminating* animals. These animals (i.e. cattle,
buffalo, sheep, deer, goats, antelope, etc.) are classified as being four-footed,
hooved, cud chewing mammals with a stomach that consists of four chambers. The
four chambers of such a stomach are known as the rumen, reticulum, omasum and
the abomasum.
The food the animal eats (i.e. grass, hay) is swallowed unchewed and passes
into the rumen and reticulum where it is then regurgitated, chewed and mixed
with saliva. It is again swallowed and then passed through the reticulum and
omasum into the abomasum, where it is then further broken down by the gastric
juices, amino acids and other digestive enzymes. Yummy! (Well, at least your
dog will think so!)
Green tripe does not necessarily refer to it's color. In this instance it refers
to the fact that it has not been touched - not cleaned, not bleached and not
scalded. It's actual color is brown, however, sometimes there will be a greenish
tint due to the grass or hay the animal had eaten.
So what is a 100% Green Tripe Compressed Bone?

(6" or 12") This makes for a long lasting healthy chew for your dog.
