Vital Essentials Beef Tripe Freeze-Dried Raw Dog Treats, 2.3-oz bag

These do stink but not surprising as tripe generally smells. I have cooked tripe for dog treats and the house always smells and smells worse than these. Tripe, however, is incredibly nutritious and dogs generally will work hard for a taste of it. We used these for work treats (my dog is a service dog) and as reward for allowing me to trim his nails. My dog loves these and I love that they are freeze dried raw. What I don't like is that it recommends using them within 30 days of opening.... that is a lot of treats to go through for a 10 pound dog. However, I would still keep these in our treat rotation as I prefer feeding him raw based treats and treats that come from various animal body These do stink but not surprising as tripe generally smells.

I was leery - I’ve smelled tripe! These don’t have the odor of most tripe. My dog loves them and it’s a digestive boost! Small pieces perfect for training or treat dispensers.

My pupp loves those . She’s raw feed and loves her tripe in meals,however, when raw its pretty smelly. Those treats have no odor and I like that even though they are pretty small, you can still brake them to smaller pieces.

My dog loves these. They are just chewy enough that it takes him a moment to finish-usually he chomps a treat and it's gone. These have a fraction second longer staying power.

My pup's favorite treat!!! Will definitely repurchase! LOVE LOVE

Our three small dogs love these!! They find them very tasty and even the one with no teeth can eat them. They’re not cheap but are an awesome special treat!!

I bought this for my 10 year old cat - to improve her health. When it arrived the product is hard like small crunchy cheetos. I thought - she's not going to eat this - it's too big. But I pulled one out. She DEVOURED IT. (And no it is NOT PUTRID STINKY). I gave her another, and another. Then sealed up the bag. I now just put them into her dry kibble dish to eat whenever she wants. Sometimes she seems to not like how "big" they are - so I will use my kitchen shears to cut them into smaller "rounds" and leave them in her kibble. She actually prefers them this way now. I think she was so "deprived" of whatever is in tripe that she gobbled it up. Now, she still eats it all but prefers it cut up. I bought this for my 10 year old cat - to improve her health.

I think she was so "deprived" of whatever is in tripe that she gobbled it up. Now, she still eats it all but prefers it cut up. It is hard, crunchy and "cleans her teeth". I give her about three of the package pieces (cut up) per day in her dry kibble with Plaque-Off. I heartily recommend this product. And I am in the process of getting a new service dog and will definitely use this as dog training treats. They are freeze dried, but not the "powder-puffs" that will disintegrate in a treat pouch, pocket or your fingers. Good, SOLID product. And again - NO SMELLY or slimey or powdery difficulties as a treat. And if you take the time to cut them into "rounds" simply by cutting pieces off the "puffs" ( each round will be a little smaller than Temptations treats) they are GREAT for treat balls for cats and dogs or for small treats you can give lots of during training. THANK YOU!! I will definitely reorder. … more

Well, I tried, neither one of my poms were too happy with the beef tripe or salmon freeze dried treats. They did try to enjoy them but they were not too crazy, like yappy crazy for them! The look I received was "what is this....are you kidding!" "Do we have to chew these?" "Where are the cookies!" So back to their favorites. Sorry!

My order came in less than 24 hours. So much easier than going to a store. You guys are great!!! Ty

These treats are all natural and give your dogs nutrition they need, My dogs love the taste.
