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.
I need to make a change to the previous post it is $0.12 more a day to feed Canidae over Ol’ Roy. Sorry for the Math screw up.
Hey Fay have you gone to the forums here yet? Some pretty sharpe people there. In one post a guy posts a picture of a animal after a coyote killed and ate the animal, guess what part of the animal they did not eat?? The major back bone annnd intestines. Just a little of my thought process on by-products, which is I THINK IS AWEFUL. I love this “exclusive of feathers, except in such amounts as might occur unavoidable”,,, I’ll bet you just about anything that most companys are using a heck of alot of feathers when they say they useing by-products. The word “unavoidable” is the key, it leaves the door wide open for them to use HUGE amounts and no doubt they do.
that is such bull i have fed my dog that for a year now and he has been to the vet one time and that was because of a broke leg and he is healthy as ever
i’ve been feeding my mutt Ol’Roy for 5 years. I took my mutt to the vet for the 1st time because she injured her paw. The vet remarked on how healthy she was otherwise. I think it’s because she gets lots of exercise and is happy.
OOOOO, a whole year. I feel sorry for your dog. It takes less than an hour searching corn, wheat and soy on the internet to figure out how bad it is for dogs. Are you that lazy???
Well, m dog started losing weight and looked muscle wasted after feeding hi
ol Roy for a week! Horrible dog food!! Should be take miff the market
OMG! You didn’t just say you fed your dog Ol’ Roy for a year and it has a broken leg and is healthy as ever!
ol’roy is horrible. I tried to switch from Blue Buffalo to Ol’roy because it was cheaper and my dog had diarrhea for the whole time I fed him that crap (past the one week food adjustment period) Ol’ Roy is not a good deal at all, your dog won’t live as long and won’t have as much energy. Ask any vet anywhere in the US.
I don’t personally feed Ol Roy, but again each dog is different and what works for one doesn’t work for all. Heck I’ve had worse luck w/ the $65 28.6lb bags of some premium companies of which names I won’t mention. But I’ve found my dog tends to do better on a middle of the road type feed. Check out this website it might be of informative help to some, then again maybe not, but I thought it was a interested article. http://www.woodhavenlabs.com/dogfoods.html also noticed how many of the premium companies no longer field trial their feeds, just laboratory testing which in my opinion isn’t very actual for real day to day situations for a K9.
Chocolate Lab Owner, while I agree asking a vet for information about a dog’s health is a good idea, I don’t think asking a vet about a particular brand of dog food is. While the Vet is calling Ol Roy trash and will happily pass off Science Diet on it’s customers which in my opinion is Ol Roy with a higher price.
Man, a dog will eat a turd if you let him. And sometimes dogs get too hyper, bother you at night, bark too much. I find that when I feed Roger the Ol’ Roy, he’s calmer and more quiet.
Yep, your fine product was invovled. Notice how they put thet crap store Wal mart at the front.
•In March 2007, the most lethal pet food in history was the subject of the largest recall ever. Menu Foods recalled more than 100 brands including Iams, Eukanuba, Hill’s Science Diet, Purina Mighty Dog, and many store brands including Wal-Mart’s. Thousands of pets were sickened (the FDA received more than 17,000 reports) and an estimated 20% died from acute renal failure caused by the food. Cats were more frequently and more severely affected than dogs. The toxin was initially believed to be a pesticide, the rat poison “aminopterin” in one of the ingredients. In April, scientists discovered high levels of melamine, a chemical used in plastics and fertilizers, in wheat gluten and rice protein concentrate imported from China. The melamine had been purposefully added to the ingredients to falsely boost their protein content. Subsequent tests revealed that the melamine-tainted ingredients had also been used in feed for cows, pigs, and chickens and thousands of animals were quarantined and destroyed. In early May, scientists identified the cause of the rapid onset kidney disease that had appeared in dogs and cats as a reaction caused by the combination of melamine and cyanuric acid, both unauthorized chemicals. The fallout from this recall is ongoing as of May 2007 so
I disagree my dogs have been eating this for a long time and they never have had to go to the vet, sure the are lazy but still stop writing bad reviews for something as stupid as DOG FOOD!
