I have never fed it but am on a waiting list to get 20lbs. I have heard it stinks to high heaven though. If you can't find it don't worry about it, it's a good add-on to a diet but not imperitive.
I don't buy USDA inspected meat because..... I live in England
But I do understand what you are saying. Thanks Sarah!
In that case I shall give raw tripe a miss.
Snowy gets dried tripe anyway on occassions as a treat.
