Ol Roy dog food
Thinking about feeding your dog Ol’ Roy dog food? If so please think again. Ol’ Roy dog food is probably the worst dog food on the market right now. I wouldn’t feed Ol’ Roy dog food to my worst enemies dog. Ol’ Roy dog food and treats have been involved in numerous dog food recalls.
First five Ol’ Roy dog food Ingredients:
- Ground yellow corn
- soybean meal
- ground whole wheat
- corn syrup
- poultry fat
I have looked at the first five ingredients of a lot of dog food brands and I have come to the conclusion that this is the worst first five ingredients I have ever seen. First of the first ingredients of Ol’ Roy dog food in CORN. Corn is pretty much useless as far as a nutrition stand point. Corn does your dog absolutely no good. If that wasn’t bad enough lets go head and through some grains in the first five AND THEN lets through sugar in the first five. Who puts sugar in the first five ingredients of dog food? Are you kidding me?
A lot of people decide to buy Ol Roy dog food based on the fact that it is cheap. Thinking like this will catch up to you in vet bills. Your going to take your dog to the vet twice as much as you would if you fed your dog a healthier brand of food.
When looking for dog food, look for a brand that has at least two sources of meat in the first five ingredients, and contains no corn or grains.

Two questions….
What kind of dog? And was it an outside dog?
To anyone using Ol’Roy-you should check out the ingredient list for Costco’s Kirkland Signature-it has waaaay better ingredients,and just a few dollars more. And Kirkland actually has real meat.
Let’s go one step further.
How much is one 30lb bag of Ol’ Roy and one 30lb bag of Whole Earth Farms?
we use to feed my mini schnauzer this 3 years ago when we still had him
i wish we would have read the labels more. I always read the labels now for my new puppy but i feel so bad that we fed him this crap.
Well today I compaired IAMs lamb and rice to ol’roys and they were basicly the same formula. So I bought it. No sense in paying more for the SAME EXACT thing. Oh and dummys the First two things listed was Lamb and Rice. HAha.. Yay.
Unbeivaleble comparing one lousy food with another lousy food. Annnd I found no food that is made by Ol roy that had lamb in the first 5 ingredients.
1.Ground yellow corn..Bad as it gets
2.soybean meal.. Wow, super bad
3.ground whole wheat…Goodness me o my Terrible
4.corn syrup…Ha, corn again
5.poultry fat,.can’t get worse
Ya know what lady GO posion your dog with this CRAP. But when your dog gets tumours, skin issues, leaky eyes, hair falling out and stinky ears DON’T COME CRYING TO US HOW YOU WISH YOU WOULD HAVE LISTEN TO US. I have been there and done that, CHEAP fOOD and I learned my lesson. Have a good day and I wish you poor animal all the luck in the world because he is gonna need it.
Just punch in “Dogfoodrecalls” you will find besides having a terrible formula it contains anti freeze and other great stuff your dog needs.
who cares if lamb is in the first five ingridiants or if its the last why does that matter lamb is lamb its in there no matter where it says it at if you cant afford purina or beniful or the expisive stuff ol roy is just fine dont listen to half the morons on here dog food is dog food its your choice its your money and its your dog buy what you want for it i buy ol roy and my dogs are happy healthy and great and im happy cause its not causting me fifty
bucks a bag
Hey Jenn-In a way your right-Iams and Ol’Roy are pretty much the same thing they also compare with these brands-Beneful-Bil Jac-Eukanuba-Hill’s science diet-Hill’s Prescription diets-Abady-Look if your going to buy ANY of these brands – You might as well pick the cheapest one – I mean why spend a bunch of money if it’s all basically the same ingredients?? ALL the brands I mentioned receive a 1 star rating.Thats on a scale from 1 to 6.- Their are 42 pages of 1 star brands,just scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on each page number to see all the WORST brands-While your their you can also find a really good brand too.Just click on foods with a 4-5-or 6 star rating. ANYWAY check this out- http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food_reviews/showcat.php/cat/7/page1
Jt, by the sound of it, you wouldn’t have any idea if your dog is happy and healthy. Don’t give advice out if you don’t know what you’re talking about. Believe it or not dog food is one of those things where you get what you pay for. Even if your dog seems happy and healthy eating that food, it is almost a guarantee that it’s not getting the proper nutrients. These aren’t humans, they’re animals. Just because we can get by eating food that costs less doesn’t mean an animal can. Think about it. How much corn would a wild dog/wolf/coyote eat?
if we can’t afford expensive dog food at least feed our babies with a reputable brand, right? Ol’ Roy dog food already has a bad reputation
jt- the reason that you want Lamb in the first 5 ingredients is because they list ingredients by weight- so the first 5 are mostly what the food is made up of with the other ingredients making up a small portion of the food- if corn is the first ingredient- then that’s basically what your dog is eating-dogs are carnivores and should be eating real meat NOT grains like CORN WHEAT SOY.And dog food should NEVER have sugar in it. If price is an issue you could try Costco’s Kirkland Signature-it’s only a few dollars more and it actually has real meat in it-And NO corn-Go check out their ingredient list-it really is a good food for the money.
michelle u r right
Choose a food with meat as the first ingredient. Look for meat with a name — chicken, lamb, turkey — rather than the generic term “meat.” You should also see meat or other high-quality nongrain proteins such as eggs or cottage cheese listed later on the label.
If Ol’Roy is all you can afford then you should add some healthy extras to it like Steamed Carrots-Broccoli Fat Free cottage cheese-Pureed apples-Blueberries-Eggs-maybe some cheap cuts of meat-watch out for too much fat though-it can cause Pancreaitis . If you have an Aldi’s in your area you can get these items VERY CHEAP.
Today at the dog park I found myself scoping out other dogs and trying to figure out what the owners feed them. Geez, it was so easy to tell which one’s were on a crappy dog food like this one. They were the ones with goo & runny eyes(lots)some even had bald spots below their eyes, dull coats(some were really bad) and some had dirty ears. Some I could tell a mile away, because their coats were in such poor shape and some even had a little hair missing. It was really sad because it was so obvious in many dogs.
Jess your right-And I can’t figure out why people that care enough about their dog to bring them to the dog park don’t take the time to research dog food.It’s a shame that the veterinarians push Iams and Science Diet ECT they are no better than Ol’Roy.I really wish public schools would offer pet nutrition classes with good information so our kids could learn-and maybe teach their parents a thing or two!!Then we could break the cycle of BAD dog foods and put these companies out of business.
Why not push companies like Purina and Iams to just make better food?
They have the nutrionists and scientists. They have the money to buy better ingredients. They have the production facility.
Honestly, any one of these huge commercial pet food companies could totally up the ante and make one heck of a dog food that would have everyone out of business. Unfortunately…..it hasn’t happened yet.
