In plain English

PetKind Tripe Dry Grain-Free Green Beef Tripe Formula Dry Dog Food is a dry food featuring beef tripe, beef, and chicken as its main protein sources.

The protein quality looks reasonable, with beef tripe providing solid amino acid coverage. The formula also includes organ meat, which adds diverse, high-bioavailability protein to the mix.

The biggest concern is the lack of an AAFCO statement, which means the nutritional completeness of this food is unverified. Also, there isn't a declared omega-3 source like fish or algae oil.

Good fit for dogs whose owners prioritize beef tripe as a protein source. Less ideal if verified nutritional completeness or a declared omega-3 source is important to you.

Why this score

At 46/100, this formula lands mid-pack. The lift comes from protein quality, worth 20 points to the final number: Reasonable protein quality. beef tripe delivers solid amino acid coverage. The ceiling on this score is 59, set because the AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement isn't disclosed on the retailer page (so our methodology can't verify the formula meets adult, growth, or all-life-stages standards). The cap isn't the binding constraint here. Fat quality would also need to improve to reach the next band.

7 total
Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    beef tripe

    Stomach lining. Strong-smelling but nutrient-dense, with natural digestive enzymes.

    Position 1. Named organ meat this high is a strong build choice. Concentrated source of taurine, glutamine, and B-vitamins.

  2. 2
    beef

    Real meat. Dense in protein and iron. Some dogs are sensitive to it, but for most it's an excellent base.

    Position 2: co-primary protein. Two named animal proteins in the top 2 is a strong protein build.

  3. 3
    chicken

    Real meat. Primary protein source, with the amino acid profile dogs actually evolved to eat.

    Position 3: significant protein contributor. Adds amino-acid diversity to the top of the deck.

  4. 4
    peas

    Cheap protein bulk. Fine in small amounts, but when peas stack with lentils and chickpeas in the top ingredients, it's the pattern the FDA flagged in its heart-disease investigation. See why →

    Position 4. Within the FDA's top-5 DCM-pattern threshold. Especially notable if multiple pulses stack here.

  5. 5
    chicken meal

    Chicken with the water cooked out. Per pound, packs more protein than fresh chicken. See why →

    Position 5: significant protein contributor. Adds amino-acid diversity to the top of the deck.

  6. 6
    turkey meal

    Turkey with the water cooked out. Per pound, packs more protein than fresh turkey. See why →

    Position 6: supporting protein. Modest contribution to total protein weight.

  7. 7
    pea starch

    Refined starch from peas, mostly carbs after the protein is removed. Counts toward the legume stack the FDA examined.

    Position 7. Moderate inclusion. Contributes carbohydrate and some plant protein.
