Brit Premium by Nature Beef with Tripe, 400 g is a meat pâté with beef and tripe for dogs of all breeds from the Czech maker Brit. It can be fed as a complete food, a treat or a dry food topper. The pâté is free from grains, salt and GMOs, and the collagen it contains supports the joints. It provides 1065 kcal/kg — about 426 kcal per can.
Ingredients
Beef 36%, beef broth 35.5%, chicken 22%, tripe 4%, collagen 1%, minerals 1% and salmon oil 0.5%. Tripe — the stomach of ruminants — is rich in protein and very aromatic, so even fussy dogs eat food containing it. Collagen is a structural protein for cartilage and ligaments, and salmon oil adds fatty acids. Vitamins D3 and E, zinc, iron, manganese, iodine and copper are added.

Cons
- 22% chicken. Not for dogs allergic to chicken.

How to feed it
The daily amount depends on size, age, activity and living conditions. As a guide, a can contains about 426 kcal. If you add the pâté to dry food for variety, reduce the dry portion. Serve at room temperature with fresh water nearby. Keep an opened can in the fridge in a closed container, or the smell of tripe will spread through the whole fridge. More on portions in how much food to give a dog per day.
Why tripe is good
Tripe has long been used in raw and home-made dog feeding: it's easy to digest, rich in protein and, above all, smells irresistible. That makes a tripe pâté a good choice for dogs with a poor appetite, after illness, or for coaxing a dog to eat its dry food. More on home-made versus commercial feeding in home-made or dry food for dogs.
Pâté for training and play
An aromatic pâté makes a great training reward: offer it from a spoon or a squeeze tube. Spread it on a lick mat or into a rubber toy and freeze — your dog will spend ages licking it out, giving you time for other things. Count these treats in daily calories, especially for dogs prone to weight gain.
By Nature or Pate & Meat
Brit offers two kinds of meaty wet food: smooth by Nature pâtés and Pate & Meat cans with meat chunks in pâté and a higher meat content — for example Brit Pate & Meat Rabbit. If you want an even texture or a dry food topper, a pâté is more convenient. For allergic dogs there are single-protein cans such as Brit Mono Protein Lamb & Rice.
Who it suits
Owners of dogs without chicken or beef allergies, especially fussy dogs and those with a poor appetite, who want an aromatic grain- and salt-free meat pâté. More canned food is in the canned dog food section.
Verdict
Brit Premium by Nature Beef with Tripe is an aromatic grain- and salt-free meat pâté with beef, tripe and collagen. It suits fussy dogs well and works as a dry food topper. The downsides are 22% chicken in the recipe, and the herbs mentioned in the description aren't in the ingredient list.
