How necessary / fattening is tripe?

[lisajazz]

Pixel is still a bit on the porky side following her crate rest.

My vet told me feeding her tripe is a sure fire way to get her fat and she does have tripe as part of her raw. Is it really necessary?

Will it make her fat?

Also I ordered ostrich tripe chews from zooplus - will that be the same?

No it's not necessary and it's not really fattening in small amounts. I v rarely feed it because the smell kills me

Think I may give it a miss for a few months see if it makes a difference cause her portions aren't big.
