Ol' Roy Dog Food?

Question

I have read some disturbing reviews on ol roy dog food...does ne one know if this is a bad brand because i just bought a whole bag of the puppy food they have for my new puppy and i just wanted to know if it is safe?

Answer 1

Around here it is the junk food only cheap A$$es give their dogs.

Answer 2

I totally agree with Dane Lover. Check the ingredients in Ol' Roy and compare it to something like Natural Balance or Solid Gold. I said it before and I'll say it again, AAFCO food trials and government regulations for pet foods are not regulated the way many people think. Just because a government agency allows companies to put by-products, corn, beet pulp, diseased animals, and even peanut hulls, and other garbage in dog food, doesn't mean I'm going to feed it to my dogs.

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Read more here https://biturl.im/aU7bx

The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don't achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren't putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.

The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.

Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.

Answer 5

What you need to do is look at the ingredients of any dog food.
These things are bad for dogs.
Corn meal
Animal by products
and anything your dog may be allergic to.

Corn meal is the worse for dogs. I happen to have 2 dogs that are allergic to chicken. So I get Purina Lamb and Rice formula.... however when reading the back of the package I see it has some sort of animal by product and I called Purina to ask them exactly what it is.

They found a polite way to tell me that is parts of animals such as hoofs, feet, etc. So I asked them if there could be chicken parts in there and they said yes, if your dog is allergic to chicken don't feed it to them.

Signs that a dog is allergic are:
Shaking of head from ear infections.
Licking of paws.

There are other's but those two are the give aways.

I have an adopted pug who's ear is all crinkled from hemoglobins from constant ear infections she was getting before we adopted her.

I have four dogs. Three pugs and a beagle. They do best on Solid Gold brand dog food. I recently bought Nurtro because I ran out of food and the store that sold it was closer to my home. However my dogs' coats suffered. They became stiff and dull.

We get compliments all the time on how soft their fur is and all I can think is that it is the food.

Answer 6

It not only is bad it is one of the absolute worst. It is like feeding gravy/fat soaked sawdust to your dog. Many, many dogs become nalnourished on this food and have other health issues.
It is crap, worse then crap....it has very little nutritional value for a dog..it is made with the absolute cheapest ingredients most of which is nothing more then cheap fillers/carbohydrates.

While other foods from the supermarket are better then Ole'Roy they aren't good either..they also contain cheap fillers (though not as bad as Ole'Roy)
You would be far better off staying away from foods such as Beneful, pedigree, Purina Dog Chow, IAMS/Eukanuba, Science Diet, Alpo and going with a good quality meat based food with no cheap fillers...foods such as Canidae, Blue Buffalo, Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul, Solid Gold, Innova, Timberwolf, California Natural, Premium Edge just to name a few.
It takes up to 3 times more of a low quality food for a dog to get proper nutrition then it does a good quality meat based food.
Remember dogs are designed to be meat eaters not grain eaters.

*******extensive studies have been done on dog foods(not by dog food companies, but by unbiased nutritionists/scientists) it is not other food companies that have bad things to say about the cheap foods especially the likes of Ole'Roy but rather those who know about canine nutrition, dog anatomy & digestion, etc..also all one has to do is look at the label & ingredients and compare to see the difference in amounts of the cheap fillers & by products compared to that found in good qaulity foods******

I suggest looking at the food lists in the Whole Dog Journal to see the "good" foods those designed with a dogs digestive system in mind.

Answer 7

i don't know about all the other people here, but i have a pure breed boxer, a pit bull and a German Shepperd. they all eat ol Roy and trust me, they're fine. I've tried all kinds of different brands, because my boxer is very sensitive, use to get sick a lot as a puppy, and of course she is very, very spoiled. but i have to say she loves ol Roy and she didn't get sick ( eating ol Roy since 3 years). i mean do you always eat premium food or do you go for the cheaper kind once in a while? so don't just listen to every body's opinion, try it out and you'll see if your dog likes it.... and if not buy something else!!!!

Answer 8

No its not got food. You want to buy premium dog food. That is generic and is full of fillers that don't help your dog but actually hurts them all this does is lead to more vet visits and a not as healthy dog. Iam's isn't the best but its only 15 for a 20 pound bag i think but the best kind isn't the kind you find at the grocery store. If you can find it in the grocery store thats not good. Candae Sun is really good but more expensive. It also depends on the dog. My dog's digestive system can't handle eukanuba because of the fat content. The dog food as a general rule should have two differnt kinds of meat such as chicken or beef and not have the word by-product followoing

Answer 9

Absolutely awful food. It is made with a low grade meat and contains the worst of worst preservatives. When your buy dog food check the ingredients, the first igredient should always be a meat and you never want to see a meat by product. The next 3 should be at least a protein source, You never want to see the preservatives BHA, BHT, and never ever want to see Ethoxyquin. All three are carcinogens. I saw thae awful review of Ol'Roy on the FDA website, if youlove your dog switch foods.

Answer 10

My husband works for the company that makes Ol Roy. Newsflash for you all. The only real difference in Ol Roy and something like Nutro (premium dog food made by the same company) is the packaging and the shape/color of the dog food.

I've fed my dogs Ol Roy for 12 years with no problems. My 11 month old boxer ate Ol Roy puppy food and is a healthy, active 70 pound ball of energy.

So consider this bullsh*t myth debunked.

Answer 11

I used to feed Ol' Roy Red to a dog I had and she never suffered any ill effects so go ahead and feed it, it's more than likely one of the name brand manufacturers trying to bad mouth them just to sell their food.
