Your experience with Tripe?

[preciousprince]

So I've read how great green (raw) tripe is supposed to be for dogs, and I finally got some for Perri to try and it came today. I got the Dr. Harvey's freeze dried green tripe, the product is called power patties. That's all that's in it, and it's from quality grass fed cattle - not organic, but not fed antibiotics, ect. (yes I called lol). So I broke just a few small pieces off for him, and he seemed to like it. However he threw it up almost immediately - like 2 minutes later.

The Whole Dog Journal had a good piece on tripe last year and it said how easily digestible it's supposed to be and well tolerated by dogs with food sensitivites ect so I was surprised that it obviously didn't sit well with him. I opened up the box it came in when I got home from work and he was sniffing at the bag so I gave him a bit then, before his dinner. So maybe it was having it on an empty stomach? He was fine afterwards - ran around outside, ate his dinner, and is still normal. I'll try it again on a non-empty stomach, but maybe like an early afternoon. I almost did the second try right after his dinner but realized if he were to throw it up again he'd throw up his whole dinner along with it and I didn't want that.
So I was wondering who else gives tripe and what your experiences with it are. Does your Malt tolerate it ok?

I've never used the raw green tripe..never had access to it but mine have eaten canned green tripe before and loved it. And I give them solid gold dehydrated green tripe as treats and they love those too. They've never had a problem with it but each dog is an individual
