Questions & Answers

11 Customer Questions

Most tripe products have quite a strong odor, especially in heat. What sort of smell do these have?

Answer by Chewy • Jul 07, 2018
Overall, customers have not reported a strong odor with these treats however, smells are subjective to the individual. It is recommended to store freeze - dried products in a cool dark place, these are best if fed within 30 days after opening.

can this be used to supplement fresh or frozen tripe in a raw diet

Answer by Chewy • Oct 01, 2018
This product's only ingredient is tripe, so it could be used to substitute fresh or frozen tripe in your dog's raw diet.

Can you provide calcium and phosphorous mg per ounce of product, please?

Answer by Chewy • Dec 06, 2021
At this time, Vital Essentials does not test for calcium and phosphorous in their treats as they are not intended as a complete and balanced meal.

Perfect in many ways

This treat is the right size, not too big, it's freeze dried so doesn't get your hands messy, and smells great to a dog. Perfect in so many ways!

Wow!

"Wow!" is a direct quote from my dog, Annie. I've been following a well known dog trainer in on-line classes and podcasts. She mentioned how all of her dogs love

"Wow!" is a direct quote from my dog, Annie. I've been following a well known dog trainer in on-line classes and podcasts. She mentioned how all of her dogs love tripe. I decided to try these tripe treats as a "high value" treat. I give these some what sparingly because I want to keep these as special treats to reward recalls and other similar skills. Annie is eager to work when these are coming her way. She can smell them, so she's especially obedient when they are part of the rewards.
