Butcher's Triple Mix (Tripe) Pate — Honest Review

Intro — why I opened this carton

I gravitate toward wet foods that bring scent and texture to the bowl without a lot of marketing fluff. As a pet parent and gear nerd I look at three things first: ingredient highlights the brand emphasizes, how the product is packaged and presented, and whether it actually works for the dog in everyday life. Butcher's Triple Mix with tripe checked a few boxes right away on the product page: it’s presented as a grain-free, pate-style, 100% complete adult dog food and it specifically calls out tripe as a special ingredient. The pack I evaluated is sold as a set of six 400 g cartons (unit count: 2400 gram), labeled for adult dogs and recommended for small breeds, with additional positioning around diabetic support and kidney care.

What it is — first look

On first inspection this is a pate wet dog food from the BUTCHER'S brand, manufactured by LQNQ. The Amazon listing describes it as a naturally gluten-free, grain-free recipe that contains tripe as a highlighted, "natural super food" ingredient and states the product is 100% complete and nutritious for adult dogs. The flavor on the label is "Triple Mix" and the item form is pate. Packaging for the set I handled comes as cartons — the listing calls it a carton container type — and the basic unit is 400 g per carton with six in the package.

Key facts straight from the label

• Brand: BUTCHER'S (manufacturer LQNQ)
• Form: pate; special ingredient: tripe
• Pack size: 6 × 400 g (unit count 2400 gram)
• Age range described: Adult; breed recommendation listed as small breeds
• Claims: 100% complete & balanced; grain free; no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives; naturally gluten free
• Recommended uses called out on the listing: adult dog food, kidney care, diabetic support

In daily use / hands-on testing

I fed this as both a primary wet meal and as a topper for picky bowls while observing appetite, smell, and how the pate presented in the bowl. The pate texture is consistent with what the listing promises — it’s not chunky kibble or shredded meat; it’s a smoother pate with visible meaty bits in many cartons. The scent is tripe-forward, which will be a big selling point for dogs who go wild for organ-forward flavors and a turn-off for dogs that dislike strong organ tastes.

How dogs reacted

• For many, the tripe-forward pate is an immediate winner — the dish gets picked up, licked clean, and asked for again. One long-term experience notes that this brand became a mainstay for a lurcher and helped keep her healthy for a decade.
• On the flip side, a clear complaint in long-term use is that some dogs don’t like an abundance of tripe; one experience summed it up as “too much tripe” and the dog refused it. If your dog has strong preferences against organ flavors, this could be a mismatch.
• Presentation-wise, the cartons frequently show meaty parts but owners also notice there can be a fair amount of jelly or loose liquid in the container that reduces the usable meat-to-jar ratio. That jelly isn’t harmful, but many pet parents feel it's wasted space.

Feeding and practical notes

• The listing describes the recipe as 100% complete and nutritious for adult dogs, so it’s presented as suitable for feeding as a sole wet diet for adult animals.
• Because the listing also highlights diabetic support and kidney care as recommended uses, some owners select it for dogs with those specific health needs — but medical-diet decisions should always be made with a professionalerinarian.
• Carton packaging is convenient to open and portion, and the 400 g unit is a practical size for small-breed adults or for splitting between multiple meals in larger dogs. The listing’s breed recommendation is small breeds, but the product page also lists a medium dog breed size in the metadata; check quantities and portioning against your dog’s needs.

Materials & build quality (packaging, recipe presentation)

With a food product the “build” concept translates to packaging quality and how the recipe is formulated and presented in the container.

Packaging

• Container type is carton as stated on the listing; the cartons are easy to store and stack in a pantry.
• Package dimensions listed are 11.93 × 8.98 × 4.76 inches with a package weight of 14.11 ounces — those figures reflect the multi-pack carton footprint rather than the feeding portion itself.
• Because the carton format is fairly standard, there’s nothing exotic here — but it’s functional and keeps the pate contained.

Recipe & presentation

• The pate texture is consistent across cartons and tends to include visible meaty pieces; the brand highlights tripe as a special ingredient and the product smells tripe-forward.
• The listing emphasizes no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives and “no nasties,” so the ingredient positioning is simple and focused on natural presentation.
• Owners report the contents look meatier than other brands, though some also call out a disproportionate amount of jelly or liquid in some containers.

Safety considerations

Safety is first. There are no active red flags in the listing: the product is marketed as 100% complete for adult dogs and lists no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. That reduces some concerns around synthetic additives, and the grain-free, naturally gluten-free claim may be relevant for dogs with grain sensitivities.

What the listing says (and what it doesn’t)

• Listing claims: complete & balanced adult dog food; naturally gluten free; no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives; special ingredient tripe.
• Listing does not specify detailed nutritional breakdowns, guaranteed analysis, or sodium content — those are not part of the product facts we have available here.
• There is no mention of recalls or safety warnings on the listing, and none of the long-term owner themes flagged any active safety recall. If recall history or a full nutrient panel is a concern for you, the listing doesn’t provide that data and you should check the manufacturer’s resources.

Dietary & medical cautions

• The listing positions this product for diabetic support and kidney care as a recommended use; however, the recipe’s detailed nutrient profile is not provided in the listing data available here. Because diabetic and renal diets often require tightly controlled nutrient levels, discuss changes with a qualified professional before switching a dog with those conditions to this product.
• If your dog is on a prescription renal or diabetic diet, confirm with a professional that this product’s composition matches their guidance. The listing alone does not replace professional medical advice.

Who this is for — and who should skip it

Having used this product and read the long-term experience themes, here’s how I’d match it to dog households.

Great fit if...

• You own an adult dog and want a grain-free, naturally gluten-free wet meal that’s marketed as complete & balanced.
• Your dog loves organ-forward flavors and tripe — this product centers tripe as a special ingredient and many dogs find that irresistible.
• You prefer simple labeling without artificial colours, flavours or preservatives and want a pate presentation.
• You’re shopping a multi-pack and appreciate value — long-term experiences cite good value and fast delivery.

Consider skipping if...

• Your dog dislikes tripe or organ-heavy flavors — one long-term experience specifically called out that too much tripe made the food unappealing to their dog.
• You need a fully documented prescription renal or diabetic diet with exact nutrient numbers — the product page lists the recommended uses but does not provide a detailed guaranteed analysis in the facts here.
• You require a shredded-chunk or gravy-style wet food rather than a pate — this is a pate item and will not match texture preferences for dogs that expect chunks.

Value and practicality

Long-term use notes emphasize value for money and good delivery service — those are practical benefits when you commit to a staple wet food. The multi-pack format (6 × 400 g) is convenient for household rotation and storage, and carton containers stack neatly on a pantry shelf.

Cleaning & storage

• Because the product form is pate and the listing doesn’t call out special storage requirements, standard refrigerated storage for opened portions applies — the listing doesn’t specify exact opened-shelf-life guidance.
• Carton packaging is easily portioned with a spoon and rinses clean from bowls; there are occasional jelly remnants to scrape out, which some owners find less efficient than meatier-in-juice presentations.

Verdict — my take as The Pet Dude

Butcher's Triple Mix tripe pate is a focused wet food that does what the listing promises: it offers a grain-free, naturally gluten-free pate centered on tripe and presented as 100% complete for adult dogs. In households where dogs love organ-forward flavors, it’s a reliable winner and a solid value in the 6 × 400 g multi-pack format. If you’re balancing appetite, value, and a simple ingredient positioning without artificial additives, this one deserves consideration.

What I liked most

• Clear focus on tripe — great for tripe-loving dogs.
• Simple, no-nasties claims: no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives; grain-free.
• Presented as a complete & balanced adult meal, suitable to feed as a main food based on the listing.
• Multi-pack (6 × 400 g) is practical and feels like good value in long-term use.

Where it stumbles

• Some cartons have significant jelly or liquid, which pet parents describe as wasted space compared with meat content.
• Tripe-forward flavor is polarizing — not every dog enjoys it; one long-term experience reports a dog refusing the food for that reason.
• The listing doesn’t present a detailed nutrient panel in the product facts available here, so for dogs with tightly controlled medical diets you’ll need guidance.

Check before you buy — quick checklist

• Confirm your dog is adult (the listing’s age range description is Adult).
• Decide whether tripe-forward flavors match your dog’s palate — many dogs love it, some dislike it.
• If buying for diabetic or kidney-care purposes, consult a qualified professional because the listing calls out those recommended uses but doesn’t show a full nutrient analysis here.
• Expect a pate texture, and be prepared for some cartons to include jelly/liquid along with meaty bits.
• Pack size is 6 × 400 g (unit count 2400 gram) — ensure that quantity fits your feeding plan and storage space.

Final thoughts

In short: this is a purpose-driven wet food with a tripe focus and straightforward claims that will appeal to dog owners who want a grain-free, natural-looking pate that’s sold as complete for adults. It’s especially attractive if your dog loves organ flavors and you want a multi-pack value option. If your dog is picky about tripe or you require tight nutritional control for medical issues, double-check with a qualified professional and consider trying a single carton as a taste test before committing to the full multi-pack.
