Performance notes
The pellet form makes it easy to crumble over a bowl as a topper or hand out as a training reward, and the combination of tripe with pumpkin and prebiotics is aimed at digestive support, which fits the brand's general wellness positioning rather than a specific medical claim.
What buyers say
With 57 reviews averaging 4.3 stars and 200 bought in the past month, this product has a solid, if moderate, following consistent with a specialty topper rather than a mainstream staple food.
It's marketed as a topper or treat rather than a complete meal, so it's meant to be added to your dog's regular food or used as a training reward, not as the sole diet.
What is the main protein source?
The formula is built around beef tripe, combined with kale, pumpkin, prebiotics, and tart cherry, so dogs with a beef sensitivity should avoid it.
Does this help with digestion?
The listing states it's formulated to support digestive health through ingredients like prebiotics and pumpkin, though it's not a medical treatment. If your dog has ongoing digestive issues, check with your vet.
