For centuries, Indigenous peoples of North America honored the buffalo (North American Bison) as a source of life, utilizing every part of the animal for sustenance, medicine, and survival. One of the most intriguing practices was the consumption of the rumen’s liquid contents—often called “buffalo juice.” This predigested plant material, rich in enzymes, probiotics, and microbial life, acted as a natural gut health tonic, aiding digestion and providing bioavailable nutrients.
At Rawsome, we honor this ancestral wisdom through our freshly ground & frozen Raw Green Tripe and our freeze-dried, regenerative Tripica—each formulated to provide the same enzyme-rich, probiotic-packed benefits that Indigenous people instinctively recognized in the buffalo’s digestive system.
What Makes Green Tripe So Powerful?
Tripe is the stomach lining of ruminant animals like bison, cattle, and sheep. Unlike the white-bleached tripe found in grocery stores (which has been stripped of its nutrients), green tripe is unprocessed, retaining its natural enzymes, probiotics, and pre-digested plant fibers. It’s nature’s perfect gut superfood for carnivores.
How Rawsome’s Raw Green Tripe Benefits Your Dog:
✔ Packed with Digestive Enzymes – Supports efficient digestion, particularly for dogs with sensitive stomachs.
✔ Rich in Probiotics & Prebiotics – Helps maintain a balanced gut microbiome, boosting immunity and nutrient absorption.
✔ Ideal Calcium-to-Phosphorus Ratio – Naturally supports bone and joint health.
✔ Low in Fat, High in Nutrients – Excellent for lean muscle maintenance and overall vitality.
Why We Source It Right
Our ground and frozen Raw Green Tripe comes from ethically raised, grass-fed and finished animals, ensuring optimal nutrient density and the highest standards of regenerative farming. Each 2-pound portion is fresh-frozen to lock in the ancestral nutrition that modern science now proves is essential for gut health.
Introducing Tripica: The Ultimate Regenerative Bison Tripe for Dogs
For those seeking a shelf-stable, nutrient-dense option, Tripica is our premium freeze-dried bison tripe, sourced exclusively from the best regenerative ranch in America. Unlike mass-produced tripe, Tripica is hand-selected from 100% pasture-raised bison, ensuring every piece is pure, unprocessed, and brimming with gut-supporting benefits.
Why Tripica Stands Apart:
✔ Single-ingredient, freeze-dried bison tripe – Preserves maximum enzyme and probiotic content.
✔ Naturally rich in bioavailable nutrients – Provides the same gut, skin, and immune support as fresh tripe.
✔ Crunchy, hand-cut and rolled pieces – Ideal for oral health by helping scrape plaque while satisfying a dog’s natural need to chew.
✔ Sourced from the most regenerative bison ranch in America – Supporting soil health, biodiversity, and ethical ranching.
Options on How to Use Tripica:
• Serve as-is (1-2 small pieces) as a daily gut-boosting snack.
• Rehydrate with water for a fermented, probiotic-rich meal topper.
• Use as a high-value training reward that nourishes from the inside out.
Why You Want ONLY Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished Rawsome Products
The Importance of Sourcing Grass-Fed and Finished Pasture Animals vs.
Stockyard or Grain-Finished Animals
When it comes to the quality of animal products, particularly in raw diets for pets, the source and feeding practices of the animals play a critical role in the nutritional value, safety, and overall health benefits of the product. At Rawsome, we prioritize grass-fed and finished animals raised on regenerative pasture farms. But what does this mean, and why does it matter?
1. Grass-Fed and Finished vs. Grain-Finished
• Grass-Fed and Finished:
✔ Animals consume nothing but grass and forage (such as alfalfa, clover, and wild herbs) for their entire lives.
✔ The rumen microbiome thrives on a biodiverse diet, leading to a balanced microbial population that promotes optimal nutrient absorption and health.
✔ Higher in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins, providing superior health benefits.
• Grain-Finished (often Grain-Fed):
❌ Raised on pasture initially but later fed grains (corn, soy, etc.) to fatten them up.
❌ Grain disrupts the rumen microbiome, creating an imbalanced gut environment.
❌ Leads to higher omega-6 fats (pro-inflammatory) and lower omega-3 content—nutritionally inferior for pets (and humans).
2. Stockyard vs. Pasture-Raised (Regenerative Farms)
• Stockyard Animals (Grain-Fed & Confined):
❌ Raised in confined feedlots, often with limited space to roam.
❌ Fed processed grain-based diets, leading to an acidic, unhealthy rumen microbiome.
❌ Often given antibiotics and growth hormones to prevent disease in stressful environments.
• Pasture-Raised, Regenerative Farming:
✔ Animals graze freely on diverse plant life, leading to a healthier rumen and meat profile.
✔ Supports soil health, biodiversity, and ethical farming.
✔ Higher in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and naturally occurring probiotics.
3. The Impact on Quality: Biodiversity in the Rumen
The rumen microbiome is critical to the quality of tripe. The healthier and more balanced the microbiome, the more bioavailable the nutrients passed on to your pets. Otherwise you are negating the entire purpose of feeding this nutrient-dense food and treat.
• Grass-Fed, Pasture-Raised Animals:
✔ Support healthy digestion, strong immunity, and better nutrient absorption.
✔ Provide meat rich in omega-3s, vitamins, and minerals, mimicking a natural prey diet.
• Grain-Finished or Stockyard Animals:
❌ Imbalanced gut flora leads to poorer quality meat.
❌ Higher omega-6 inflammatory fats, which can contribute to chronic inflammation in dogs.
This is why at Rawsome, we ONLY source grass-fed, grass-finished pasture-raised animals!
From Buffalo Juice to Modern-Day Gut Health: Why Your Dog Needs Rawsome Tripe
Just as Indigenous people valued the fermented, enzyme-rich contents of the buffalo rumen, our Raw Green Tripe and Tripica provide dogs with the ancestral nutrition their bodies crave. With every bite, they receive the prebiotics, probiotics, and digestive enzymes essential for:
✅ A strong immune system
✅ Improved digestion and stool quality
✅ Optimal skin and coat health
✅ Reduced inflammation and better nutrient absorption
Why Quality Sourcing Matters NOW More Than Ever
At Rawsome, we believe that what your pet eats matters—not just for their health today, but for their longevity and vitality in the years to come. Choosing grass-fed, grass-finished, pasture-raised sources isn’t just about superior nutrition; it’s about avoiding harmful contaminants found in conventional meat sources.
Grain-fed animals are often exposed to dangerously high levels of glyphosates, the toxic herbicide commonly sprayed on conventional grain crops. These residues can disrupt gut health, increase inflammation, and weaken immune function. Worse, grains stored in industrial silos are prone to mycotoxin contamination, which has been linked to digestive issues, oxidative stress, and chronic disease.
When you choose Rawsome’s Raw Green Tripe and Tripica, you’re choosing products that are free from glyphosates, mycotoxins, and the harmful effects of grain-based feeding. Instead, you’re giving your pet the purest, most nutrient-dense food possible, sourced from regenerative farms that prioritize soil health, animal welfare, and long-term sustainability.
