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.

Let’s go one step further.

How much is one 30lb bag of Ol’ Roy and one 30lb bag of Whole Earth Farms?

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.

i have two pitbulls one is 14 months old and the other is 3 months, my older dog was being fed diamond brand food when i bought her so i thought that i would stick to the same food, problem is she wouldnt eat it just didnt like it. so i switched her to a different diamond food and still the same problem, i went to the pet store and was introduced to blue buff. i bought it and she started having the runs, she seemed to always be sick. so after much frustration i bought a bag of ol roy she ate it fine and seemed to enjoy it. after a couple of months i noticed how much she was going out to to the poty. she didnt have the runs but she did poop alot, i decided to call my vet and she told me to try purina pro plan, something they dont sell, but she thinks highly of. both my dogs are doing good on it and my yard is not full poop, to clean up. my female is 70 pounds and looks great, while my male 20 pounds and looks just as good, people always comment about how good they look. just thought id share my experience.

I never really knew the difference in dog foods until I found this site. I have/had a Saint Bernard, I got him about a year ago as a puppy. My mother has always used OL’Roy for her dogs, so that’s what we used. We bought a new bag a week ago, feed the dogs and everything was fine. Well later that night my saint starting vomiting and aspirated and choked. We didn’t know what happen until last night my daughter’s dog started doing the same thing, luckily we were awake for this one and we were able to save her. Long story short, there is something wrong with the dog food. My dogs wouldn’t eat it, which I thought it had something to do with my saint being gone, but I fixed them something else and they devoured it. They were starving- so if you buy OL’Roy be careful because I lost one, and almost another in just a few days.

Beverly, if you are on a budget you could try Kirkland Signature dog food it’s available at Costco and it’s about the same price as the Ol’Roy but the ingredients in the Costco brand are much better,it actually has some real meat in it!! And no CORN.You should really check out the ingredient list for the Kirkland Signature and compare,much higher quality ingredients-And budget friendly!! Also if you don’t have a membership ask a friend to pick it up for you!!

Dear WeimsRus,
I will apologize up front for butting in, as it is really none of my business what you choose to feed your pets, however my love for all animals prompts me to comment. I work for a vet and we see countless animals that had a life of eating Ol Roy or Special Kitty. By the young age of 5-6 they are going into kidney and or liver failure among other things. When the major pet food recall happened in 2007, these animals were the hardest to get to recover if at all because their systems were already so taxed. Before this age we see skin infections, ear infections, eye infections, diabetes and the list goes on. When the food is changed. They recover if possible or at least do much better. You don’t have to spend top dollar, Purina Dog Chow or Purina One is only a couple dollars more and is better than Ol Roy ANYDAY! The review on this website is spot on except for the 3.7 stars. It doesn’t deserve 1 star in my eyes! If you see the suffering I do, you might change your mind.

My 13 yr. old Shitzu Sammy started losing MASSIVE amounts of hair a couple months ago and developed ‘hot spots’ all over his body. I have fed him Sam’s Club brand “Member’s Mark – Exceed” since he was a pup, it’s similar to IAMS, which is what he was eating when I bought him as a pup. Then I read about the corn allergies and the use of genetically modified corn and I decided to try and find a dog food WITHOUT any corn in it. The only one I could find was Ol’ Roy CANNED dog food. Their dry dog food does contain corn. It’s been about a week and a half and Sammy’s skin has made an amazing improvement, he’s scratchy much less and losing much less hair. I will admit that I have used a ’skin and coat’ supplement in his food, but I think the major factor here was no corn. It’s hard to say, but so far, so good.
