Nutripe is a premium pet-food brand that specializes in nutrition for dogs and cats, with green tripe as its signature ingredient. The brand positions itself around the philosophy “Inspired by Nature, Fortified by Science”, combining an ancestral/whole-prey approach to feeding with formulations developed in collaboration with veterinary and animal-nutrition professionals. 1

The brand is associated with Valour Pets Global Pte. Ltd., a Singapore company. Nutripe products are manufactured using ingredients sourced principally from New Zealand and Australia, and the brand has distribution in markets including Singapore, New Zealand, Japan and the Philippines.

What can be established is that Nutripe is a Singapore-associated brand with a New Zealand production and ingredient-sourcing connection. Trademark records identify Valour Pets International Pte. Ltd. as the applicant for the Nutripe trademark in several jurisdictions, including a Philippine trademark filing in 2022. An earlier Brazilian trademark publication also records Valour Pets International Pte Ltd as the Nutripe trademark holder/applicant in 2014. 2

The New Zealand connection is particularly important to the brand. A New Zealand government report on the country’s pet-food industry described Nutripe as a brand co-managed with Valour Pets Global and noted production of Nutripe canned dog food at a Gisborne plant.

More recent industry materials identify Valour Pets Global Pte Ltd. as the company behind Nutripe and describe the brand as Singapore-based.

In simplified terms: Singapore-based brand management + New Zealand/Australian ingredient sourcing + New Zealand manufacturing for relevant product lines.

The brand’s identity is closely tied to nutrition (“nutri”) and tripe (“tripe”).

Rather than treating tripe as an undesirable by-product, Nutripe makes it the centre of its nutritional philosophy. Its signature ingredient is green tripe, which comes from the stomach lining of ruminating animals. The brand particularly describes its tripe as coming from the nutrient-rich abomasum, the fourth stomach chamber.

This is the fundamental idea behind Nutripe: Green tripe is not merely an ingredient; it is the brand’s point of differentiation.

Green tripe is arguably the most important feature of Nutripe.

Ruminants such as cattle and deer have a four-part stomach system. Nutripe explains that its green tripe is sourced from the stomach lining and is unbleached and minimally processed, retaining naturally occurring nutrients. The brand associates green tripe with proteins, minerals, probiotics, essential fatty acids, digestive enzymes and vitamins.

The term “green” does not mean that the tripe is literally green. In the pet-food context, it generally refers to tripe that has not undergone the intensive cleaning, bleaching and processing normally associated with tripe prepared for human consumption. Nutripe’s approach is therefore based on preserving more of the ingredient’s natural characteristics.

Why green tripe matters to Nutripe

The brand associates green tripe with:

• digestive health
• gut microbiome support
• natural digestive enzymes
• probiotics/beneficial bacteria
• protein and amino acids
• essential fatty acids
• vitamins and minerals
• palatability

Nutripe consequently uses green tripe across a broad range of its formulas rather than limiting it to a single product. 3

Nutripe’s central brand philosophy is summarized by the phrase: “Inspired by Nature, Fortified by Science.”

There are two components to this positioning.

Nature

Nutripe looks to the evolutionary diet of dogs and cats. The brand argues that before domestication, their ancestors consumed prey animals rather than highly processed modern foods.

Its formulas therefore attempt to reproduce aspects of a whole-prey diet, incorporating:

• muscle meat
• organs
• green tripe
• animal-derived proteins
• vitamins
• minerals
• functional ingredients

The idea is to provide a diet closer to what the brand considers biologically appropriate for carnivorous/omnivorous companion animals.

Science

Nutripe simultaneously emphasizes that its products are not simply raw-food products.

The company says it works with veterinary practitioners and nutritional scientists to formulate its products. It specifically mentions Professor Emeritus Nick Costa, described by the company as an expert in animal clinical nutrition.

This gives Nutripe a positioning somewhere between traditional/raw feeding ↔ modern formulated pet nutrition.

The Whole Prey Diet is another major component of Nutripe’s brand identity.

According to Nutripe, the objective is to reproduce the approximate quantity, variety and freshness of animal components that dogs and cats evolved to consume.

Its formulas therefore emphasize combinations of meat + organs + green tripe + functional ingredients + vitamins/minerals rather than simply producing conventional meat-flavoured kibble. 4

This philosophy is particularly visible in the PURE and WILDCUTS lines.

Nutripe has expanded considerably beyond its original canned-food positioning. Its current portfolio can broadly be divided into five formats:

PURE — Wet Food

PURE is Nutripe’s wet-food line. The brand describes PURE as being inspired by the natural diet of dogs and cats, using relatively high levels of protein from muscle meat, green tripe and organs, supplemented with vitamins and minerals.

The newer PURE formulas are promoted as gum-free, with the brand specifically stating that they contain neither carrageenan gum nor guar gum.

Examples include:

• Beef & Green Tripe
• Chicken & Green Tripe
• Lamb & Green Tripe
• Salmon & Green Tripe
• Mackerel & Green Tripe
• Ocean Fish & Green Tripe
• Green Tripe formulas

Some formulas are designed specifically for dogs while others are for cats.

ESSENCE — Dry Food

ESSENCE is Nutripe’s formulated dry-food range. Unlike a simple “meat + kibble” proposition, Nutripe emphasizes functional nutrition. The formulas contain prebiotics and probiotics, while digestive enzymes are added to support digestion and nutrient absorption. 5

Dog formulas include varieties based around proteins such as:

• Australian beef
• Australian salmon
• Australian pork
• chicken
• other meat combinations

The brand also has ESSENCE products for cats.

WILDCUTS — Freeze-Dried

WILDCUTS represents Nutripe’s freeze-dried/raw-inspired direction. The range is designed to provide the characteristics of raw feeding in a more convenient, shelf-stable form.

The brand describes the process as a cold/low-temperature freeze-drying approach intended to preserve nutrients, flavour and aroma while avoiding the need for conventional cooking.

Recipes feature ingredients such as:

• New Zealand grass-fed beef
• lamb
• chicken
• ocean fish
• green tripe
• goat milk
• Manuka honey
• fish oil

The range is available for dogs and cats.

KRUNCH — Oven-Baked

KRUNCH is one of Nutripe’s newer product directions. Instead of conventional high-temperature extrusion used for much commercial kibble, Nutripe describes KRUNCH as slow/low-temperature oven-baked. The purpose is to produce a crunchy food while attempting to retain more natural flavour and nutrients.

The formulas combine green tripe with ingredients such as:

• grass-fed meat
• free-range chicken
• pasture-raised lamb
• fish oil
• flaxseed
• seaweed
• other functional ingredients

KRUNCH therefore represents Nutripe’s attempt to bridge the gap between premium kibble and minimally processed food.

NATURAL — Air-Dried

The NATURAL range is primarily positioned as an air-dried supplementary product/treat for dogs. Nutripe says the air-drying process helps retain nutrients and natural flavours without artificial additives or preservatives.

Nutripe’s nutritional proposition revolves around several pillars.

High animal-protein content

The company emphasizes meat, organs and green tripe as central protein sources.

Gut health

This is arguably the strongest functional-health theme in Nutripe’s branding. The brand highlights:

• probiotics
• prebiotics
• digestive enzymes
• green tripe
• goat milk
• functional plant ingredients

as components that can support digestion and the gut microbiome. 6

Skin and coat

Some formulas contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, including those derived from fish oils, which Nutripe positions as beneficial for skin and coat health.

Joint support

Nutripe frequently incorporates New Zealand green-lipped mussels, which contain compounds such as glycosaminoglycans and omega-3 fatty acids. The brand positions these ingredients for joint and cartilage support. 7

Immune support

Ingredients such as:

• kelp
• cranberries
• vitamins
• minerals
• green tripe

are used in various formulas and positioned as supporting immune health. 8

Ingredient sourcing is an important part of Nutripe’s premium positioning. The company states that its core ingredients are sourced ethically from New Zealand and Australia, with an emphasis on:

• natural ingredients
• free-range animals
• pasture-fed animals
• hormone-free ingredients
• non-GMO ingredients
• sustainable sourcing

9

New Zealand is especially important to Nutripe’s identity. Many of its products highlight New Zealand meats, green tripe, green-lipped mussels and other ingredients. This gives the brand a strong association with the New Zealand premium-pet-food ecosystem.

One interesting characteristic of Nutripe is that it does not rely on a single manufacturing method. Instead, it uses different preservation and preparation technologies depending on the product:

Nutripe states that its preservation methods include freeze-drying, air-drying and canning, allowing the company to avoid artificial preservatives.

This variety is strategically important because it allows the brand to target different types of pet owners—from conventional kibble users to raw-feeding enthusiasts.

Nutripe states that all of its products are grain-free.

However, the company also includes an important qualification: some of its grain-free products are manufactured in facilities that also process products containing grains and eggs, so trace amounts may potentially occur.

Therefore, “grain-free” should be understood as a formulation claim rather than necessarily meaning an allergen-controlled manufacturing environment.

Nutripe states that it does not use artificial preservatives or artificial colourings in its products. It relies instead on processes such as canning, air-drying and freeze-drying for preservation.

Some individual product pages additionally highlight:

• no artificial colours
• no artificial flavours
• no artificial preservatives
• GMO-free
• carrageenan-free
• BPA non-intent

depending on the product.

Nutripe operates across both major companion-animal categories.

Dogs

Its dog portfolio includes:

• wet food
• dry food
• freeze-dried food
• oven-baked food
• air-dried treats

The company offers formulas for different life stages and sizes, although suitability varies by individual product.

Cats

Its cat portfolio includes:

• wet food
• dry food
• freeze-dried food
• oven-baked food

Nutripe’s cat formulas pay particular attention to nutrients such as taurine, which is essential for cats.

Nutripe uses AAFCO nutritional profiles for a number of its products.

For example, its PURE Beef & Green Tripe cat food is formulated to meet AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for Adult Maintenance, while several ESSENCE and WILDCUTS dog formulas are formulated against AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages, with certain exclusions such as large/giant-breed puppies where specified.

This distinction is important because “premium,” “natural,” or “raw-inspired” does not by itself establish nutritional completeness. Nutripe’s individual formulas need to be assessed according to their specific nutritional statement and intended life stage.

Sustainability is another component of Nutripe’s corporate identity. The brand says it seeks to:

• source raw materials ethically
• work with sustainable suppliers
• use natural ingredients
• support animal welfare
• reduce environmental impact
• use recyclable packaging

Nutripe also states that it does not conduct caged animal testing. Where palatability trials are necessary, it says they are observational and non-invasive and take place in home environments.

The company frames sustainability not merely as an environmental issue but as part of its broader mission to protect pets and future generations.

Nutripe’s philosophy can essentially be summarized into four ideas:

1. Protect what you love

The company starts from an emotional premise: pets are family, so pet nutrition should be treated as an important part of their wellbeing.

2. Respect the animal’s natural biology

Nutripe looks toward ancestral diets and whole-prey feeding as inspiration.

3. Use green tripe as a functional ingredient

Rather than hiding tripe, the brand makes it its signature.

4. Combine nature with nutritional science

Nutripe does not position itself purely as a raw-food brand. It combines natural ingredients and ancestral-diet concepts with formulated nutrition and modern processing technologies.

In the broader pet-food market, Nutripe occupies an interesting niche.

A simplified positioning map would look like this:

Traditional commercial pet food
↓
Premium formulated pet food
↓
Nutripe
↓
Raw / freeze-dried / whole-prey feeding

Nutripe attempts to combine the convenience and nutritional formulation of commercial pet food with the ingredient philosophy of raw and ancestral feeding.

Its biggest point of differentiation is not simply “premium ingredients.” Many premium pet-food brands make that claim. Instead, Nutripe’s differentiation is: “Premium pet nutrition built around green tripe.” That gives the brand a recognizable identity within a crowded premium pet-food category.

Nutripe has a somewhat unusual geographic identity. It is Singapore-associated at the brand/company level, while its marketing and product identity are strongly connected to New Zealand.

This is reflected in:

• Valour Pets Global being identified as a Singapore company;
• New Zealand being a major source of ingredients;
• Nutripe products being made in New Zealand;
• the brand’s repeated emphasis on New Zealand pasture-fed animals;
• international distribution across Asia and other markets.

Consequently, calling Nutripe simply a “New Zealand pet-food brand” is somewhat incomplete. A more precise description is: a Singapore-associated premium pet-food brand with strong New Zealand sourcing and manufacturing ties.

Nutripe is not limited to Singapore. The company’s FAQ identifies availability through authorized clinics, pet-specialty stores, grooming facilities and online pet-food stores in:

• Singapore
• New Zealand
• Japan
• Philippines

The brand has also appeared in international pet-industry publications and has sought overseas distributors, indicating that international expansion is an important part of its business strategy.

One of the most interesting things about Nutripe is how its portfolio has evolved. Its identity originally centered heavily on green-tripe wet food, but the brand has progressively expanded into different processing formats.

A simplified evolution is:

Green-tripe wet food
→ formulated dry food
→ air-dried products
→ freeze-dried/raw-inspired products
→ oven-baked food

The launch of WILDCUTS expanded Nutripe into freeze-dried raw-inspired nutrition, while KRUNCH, introduced as a newer range, expanded the brand into oven-baked dry food.

This allows Nutripe to maintain the same central ingredient philosophy while offering different levels of convenience and processing.

If you had to reduce the entire brand to five characteristics, they would be:

🥩 Green tripe

The defining ingredient and strongest point of differentiation.

🌿 New Zealand sourcing

A major part of its premium/natural image.

🐕 Whole-prey inspiration

The brand looks to the natural diet of dogs and cats.

🔬 Science-backed formulation

It works with veterinary and nutritional experts rather than relying solely on raw-feeding ideology.

♻️ Ethical/sustainable positioning

The company emphasizes responsible sourcing, animal welfare and recyclable packaging. 10

From a consumer/industry perspective, Nutripe’s strongest asset is differentiation.

“Premium pet food” is an extremely crowded category. Brands commonly compete on claims such as:

• natural
• grain-free
• high-protein
• human-grade
• limited ingredients
• raw
• holistic

Nutripe instead has a very specific proprietary identity: green tripe + whole prey + New Zealand ingredients + functional nutrition. That makes it relatively easy for consumers to understand what makes the brand different.

However, it is also important to distinguish brand claims from independently established medical effects. Nutripe makes various claims regarding gut, immune, joint, urinary and other health benefits, but individual ingredients should not automatically be interpreted as treatments for disease. The nutritional suitability of a product depends on its specific formulation, life-stage statement and the individual animal.

Nutripe is a Singapore-associated premium pet-food brand operated by Valour Pets Global Pte. Ltd., with strong New Zealand sourcing and manufacturing ties. The brand specializes in dog and cat nutrition centered around green tripe, a minimally processed ruminant stomach ingredient that Nutripe considers naturally rich in proteins, enzymes, probiotics, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Its philosophy, summarized as “Inspired by Nature, Fortified by Science,” combines whole-prey and ancestral-diet concepts with modern nutritional formulation and processing. Its portfolio now spans wet food, dry food, air-dried products, freeze-dried/raw-inspired food and oven-baked food. Across these ranges, Nutripe emphasizes New Zealand and Australian ingredients, grain-free formulations, functional nutrition, animal welfare and sustainable sourcing.
