laneka Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Mmmmm, must ask my dog meat man. I have just enquired about green tripe and am going to order some when I put my next order in. They say it is brilliant for dogs. I must admit, I think both tongues and tripe are rather yukky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I've never fed them. Main reason is that I've never seen them. I feed a BARF diet so would grab some if I saw them :rolleyes: Sound really yucky tho', but am sure that Pele would love them :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that by law it has to be bleached :D Here's an article on the benefits of Green Tripe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavandra Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I buy 3kg of Lamb tongues each week, $4 a kg.........Occassionally I get Beef Tongues & have them chopped into segmants by my butcher, they are much much tougher & require some work to eat. They are $2.50 a tongue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I am going to get it from, they are going to mince it for me. Just read that article, I am definately going to get some. Thanks for that and good luck in your quest for green tripe.

Sandra777 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Dog's don't get the chance, eat 'em myself. Um Um Um!!!!!!! A while ago I did get the contents of someone's freezer which had been in a power outage and that included a couple of beef tongues which the dogs liked very much. Just a muscle meat like rump or shin or any other muscle. Little dogs might need the skin slit for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Butts Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) Hi Laneka, I notice you're in Victoria. I have been trying to get green tripe for for my sick girl for ages and can't find it anywhere. Whereabouts do you source yours from please? Mmmmm, must ask my dog meat man.

stormie Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I got some sheep tongues with Orbit's last meat order and he turned his nose up at it! I snuck a couple into his mince mix though and he's eaten them, but as yet won't eat them on their own. They were only $1 for a 1kg packet and I've still got about 3 full ones left if anyone in Sydney wants them to try for their dogs?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 We send our own organic cattle off to the abbatroir to be butchered & I have always asked for ALL the offal to be returned....tongue, liver, kidneys, heart etc, but I have to BUY it back off them. I think there is something wrong there ....having to buy back pieces of my own beast...have never done it as I am sure I wouldn't get my own organic offal back !!!!

anniek Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Once a week maybe twice, mine get a whole tongue cut in half lengthways for dinner. It is a very good "chew" and lasts them longer than most bones. I pay around $2 - $2.50 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boronia Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 If you are having trouble cutting up the tongue just part freeze it then it is easy- peasy to cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meea Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I would love them - I have not been able to get any from my butchers even the ones that bone their own meat. Where are you tho'?? Meea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutton Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'm not vegetarian and they still gross me out - give me any sort of other offal or whatever and I'm fine...but there's something about tongues... same lol eeeew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you looked into getting a travelling butcher to process your animals? Might be more cost effective too? There are a few up here they seem to do a good job.

shells Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Dog's don't get the chance, eat 'em myself. Um Um Um!!!!!!! My sister loves them. She boils them up and slices it for sandwich meat (note to self dont accept a "ham" sandwhich off her next time I visit) What about pigs trotters? Anyone feed them? I noticed my butcher selling them quite cheaply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) I haven't tried tongues for my (very sensitive to just about everything) dog. I would imagine that if your dog is sensitive to "beef protein" (inconclusive, at this stage) then that would count for the offal/tongue as well? I'd love to feed the tongue as a "boneless bone". Because of digestive issues, I've been unable to feed him bone and I could with an extra hand in keeping his teeth clean. Is there an advantage (especially to sensitive tummies) between the beef or lamb tongues? Is one (in general) better than another? If I were to get a beef tongue, I think I'd be asking my butcher to cut it - don't think MY sensitive tummy would cope with doing it myself.

Sandra777 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 What about pigs trotters? Anyone feed them? I noticed my butcher selling them quite cheaply. Mine love pig trotters. But not for the sensitive stomach as they're quite fatty and lots of softer bone/gristle which they can chew and swallow easily but perhaps not digest so well. And being pork it can be hard for some to digest anyway. Pigs heads are great too - mine just leave the jaw and the row of teeth - not a nice thing to stand on!

Erny Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) I agree with Sandra777. I tried pig trotters for my (now proven, very sensitive) boy a long while back. It proved to be the absolute wrong thing to do. Suits me anyway. They give me the heebies. Mind you, so would tongue. <sigh> .... but we do what we do for dog's sake, don't we? Lol.
