Sorry for the ignorance.  I sometimes feed tripe to my dogs & noticed that my usual suppliers are offering Ox tripe now & it's a lot cheaper.  Is there a reason for this, is it poorer quality & how would it effect the dogs' stomachs.

OX and Bef refering to meat byproducts like liver are interchangeable.  Ox/Beef tripe is better than that of Lamb/sheep/Mutton.

Thanks, so feeding ox tripe is acceptable.  Normally I use minced beef tripe.

Ox tripe is just another name for Beef tripe, like Ox Liver instead of Beef Liver, though have never seen Beef-Tail just Ox-tail..

> though have never seen Beef-Tail just Ox-tail..

ROFL!!!!!!!  

I buy in bulk and get the ox tripe at cost price and its cheaper than normal tripe. My boys love it, but boy is it very very stinky!!

Sue - do you buy fresh or frozen? I'm looking for the best way to buy and store tripe as I'm considering moving onto a raw diet.

I buy it in frozen blocks from Berriewoods along with other raw frozen foods. Each block is easy to defrost, or cook what ever you decide, but smells worse when cooked.. Yuck..
