    I bought a 18 kg bag of dry. It was purchased about 2 weeks ago. I'm not a person who has a lot of money, so this was very disappointing to see! I bought this type because it was in my price range, now having to go out and buy another is not exactly what I was expecting to have to do!

    Old Roy pet treats have had used for many many years. Although today and I've been seeing little gnats I picked up a tree out of the box and there was a bungee type treat stuck to another treat and it had larvae for worms on it all over the Box. They are going out the door now. I've taken pictures of the box and of the number on the box and not certain how to get a hold of Mars pet care dog treats.com

    Trust me I’m keeping in mind that people will see this!! STOP BUYING THE BONES! We thought our sweet boy could enjoy a nice treat, not taking into consideration that these bones splinter. Our dog pooped blood and puked BONE SHARDS for 3 days. He had us so worried he was going to have serious illness from this. This product *smoked femur bone* and ALL bone products need taken off shelves!!! You have death and illness on your hands.

    In all honesty I wouldn't even rate it a 1 star... This dog food has hurt my 2 year old dog. Constant runny poops and his tummy is hurting so bad all he does is cry and whine all day long. I'm going and getting a different brand of dog food today due to it all started WHEN he started this brand of dog food. I wouldn't suggest it to anyone. He's always sleeping and always constantly thirsty. He's been shedding his fur like CRAZY.. I just hope this gets out there for the brand. And pray I don't lost my doggo over cheap dog food.

    I have bought almost every flavor hard kibble and every single time has destroyed my dogs' stomachs. After one little meal of it, their stomachs starts gurgling and grumbling. Shortly after their tum starts making noises, they get unstoppable explosive diarrhea, all day, until they're digestive is totally empty of Ol' Roy gut rot kibbles. I have to apologize to my dogs endlessly, that I ever attempted to try a new flavor of Ol' Roy, and that they'll never touch a ol' roy product again, only getting the best, blue buffalo. Don't make your dogs sick and sad, avoid OL' ROY at all costs!!! Cheap will kill your dog! I'm glad I learned, though it was the dogs that had to endure the tummy issues. Stay away from OL' ROY GUT ROT FOODS.

    We have been buying Ol'Roy Mini Knotted Bones for some time. This last bag we noticed our beagle has hesitant to chew them. She finally did as Beagles will eat about anything. She proceeded to vomit about and hour after eating them. She ate dinner then she vomited again on her daily walk. Then that night she vomited again in her bed. The next day she was lethargic the whole day (Sunday). Now Monday she seems to have recovered just before we were ready to take her to the vet. Contacted the number on the bag to report this incident. Will let you know how this turns out. Purchased at Walmart 12/02/24 BM0077B 103.

    I was wondering why my dog came down with worms. I feel bad because I’m also a delivery driver and I haven’t given these biscuits out to pets until I reached my hand in the box and realized one was up when I set it on my lap these worms were crawling all in them. This is disgusting and this company should be shut down.

    Ol Roy was cheaper than every other brand and I was on a tight spot financially and bought the cheapest big bag I could find. Ol Roy was 21 bucks for 46 pounds yet the bag is significantly smaller than the 30 pound bags next to it. My dog used to run around the farm day and night all the time, always hyper. He's 10 months old and now after just a few weeks being on Ol Roy he's always sleeping somewhere, doesn't want to play, won't catch a ball, just lays around and he's got bloody ears.

    Do not buy any brand of dog biscuits or treats. I just started buying these for my dog a month ago. I’ve spent over $1000 now treating my dog for a kidney failure and in two days, I have to put her down because she will not survive the next week. This is my service dog and my best friend that I thought I was doing something good by getting her these Ol' Roy treats and dog biscuits and now she’s vomiting, not eating, on IVs for being dehydrated and she’s lost 20 pounds all within one month and now I’m going to lose her in two days.

    I purchased 2 large Ol Roy bones for my doodles as a treat. I gave them to the dogs and they ran outside in excitement. I went out to check on them not more than 5 minutes and the bones were so splintered and broken into small pieces. I had to gather them up and throw them away. (Picture attached.) Not only was this a complete waste of money but if I wasn’t right there to monitor, those splintered pieces could have killed my dogs! I will never buy an Ol Roy bone again and want to alert everyone who might purchase one in the future!

    I bought a bag of the t-bone and bacon and I found black hairs baked in it. I have to change brands now. I have had to take a few bags back to store because sometimes it doesn't look like the same food. It looks like someone swept the factory floor and bagged it up to sell. What a shame. You wouldn't want to sweep up something for your family to eat I wouldn't think.

    Sadly, my dog Chewy was caught up in the Ol Roy 2007 dog poisoning horror. It was so terrible, and some 17 years later I’m still upset by the loss of her and the lies the company told to the media that they would cover vet bills. I filed all the paperwork. I kept calling the hotline until it disappeared. I never received a penny. There is no price on a dog, but a company should be responsible for what they’ve done. And what they promised to the public, it was all a lie and a scam. Still waiting for my $1600 Ol Roy. Shame on you. She was my FAMILY. I loved her. And I trusted you to sell healthy products as advertised.

    I have two Labradors one male one female. The male went to college with my daughter. I trained my female to be a service dog. Nutrition for my dog is one of the most important things. I fed her expensive food and gave her only one treat Old Roy Munchy Bones. This Labrador has had diarrhea for a year and a half. Every single day I watched her struggle to go to the bathroom. I changed foods over and over. The veterinarian couldn't figure it out. It's not like she got a tons of different treats. We gave her one munchy bone a day unfortunately we are focused on the food destroying her health. After a year her nose was all dried her teeth were starting to have silver lines in them then her health rapidly started declining to where she put on 10 lb in 2 months but only eats the food of a 30 lb dog. This Labrador is 99 lb at this point. I was getting ready to go to University of Florida to see the best veterinarians.

    My dog just turned 3 years old and I was watching her die slowly. I couldn't take her anywhere because I can't clean up her poop. Finally we put her on an intestinal prescription diet. I took everything away including the Ol'Roy munchy Bones which she lived for the moment I gave her one of these. However every time I host down the grass where she pooped I could see the white solid pieces that did not digest. When we put on a prescription diet it was instant. Within 2 weeks she was a brand new dog. Her poop has been solid for the last 5 weeks. This week I have her brother for a month. The male still eats these munchy bones. I felt bad so I cut 1 munchy bone in 4 pieces four. For a dog who's now down to 90 lb already a quarter of a munchy bone is tiny however instant diarrhea and struggling to poop again.

    I finally found the culprit that was killing my dog. Unsure if it was just a coincidence I stopped for a week again and just yesterday gave my dog a 1/4 of a munchy bone again. I just spent 15 minutes watching that dog tried to poop in six different areas all water again from these munchy bones. There's no more mystery on what was killing my dog. It is definitely these Ol Roy Munchy Bones. This is men over half of her three year life sentenced to the misery these bones have caused to her system. The thousands of dollars I spent the heartbreak watching her struggle. The countless hours of reading about dog food and ingredients The only thing I did not study was these Ol Roy Munchie Bones. It was right in front of me the whole time the slow killer of dogs. I just googled what these Bones do to dogs and noticed this site that is overwhelming in negative reviews.

    I don't know how the FDA does not shut this down as this company is actually killing dogs. I had a Labrador that ran every day, was full of energy, went everywhere with me to a Labrador that was laying around struggling, no more energy, her nose messed up, her teeth with silver lines in them. However these past 5 weeks She has for being revived instantly when I stopped giving her these bones. I still wouldn't have known what was causing it until I gave her a small piece and she went instantly back to diarrhea and struggling. This is criminal for a company to allow this dog killer. I am getting ready to send a picture of these to my veterinarian to warn every client to stay away from these bones.

    There are two things I am sure of what this review. My dog was dying at the age of three from the moment I gave her these bones. For the past 5 weeks she has been away from these bones and she is back to a full of life dog running and having fun and most of all pooping solid. One tiny piece of one of these bones again She went right back to being sick. There's no arguing on what caused so much damage and cost so much in vet bills.

    I was drawn to a particular dog food brand at Walmart due to its reasonable price for the provided quantity. However, my dogs fell severely ill within a week of starting this food. I have spent the last four days attending to their health, with the situation worsening to the point of needing to take them outside every 35 minutes. They are still suffering from the food's effects. Prior to this, my dogs were perfectly healthy, raising concerns about the pet food's safety measures. I am seeking clarity on the accountability process for the negative impact this food has had on my pets. Currently, I am left with a large bag of dog food and uncertainty about the possibility of a refund, given our limited family income. It is my hope that no other pets endure such a harrowing experience.

    First: trying to pull up your corporate office is impossible. Second: in the last month this was $9 and change. Three weeks ago it was $10 and change, last week it was $12 and change, today it is $13.97. I would love to know how much money y'all have stolen from us in the last years. People are abandoning their pets left and right. Not only can't we afford to feed our families we can now no longer afford to feed our pets.

    We buy the same flavor and size bag every time as we have large dogs. We got a bag and the food inside looked nothing like the food on the outside for starters and it was apparent the recipe changed with no heads up or anything. New recipe contains red dye and our dogs' hair fell out. 3 out of the 4 dogs. So now we changed brands.

    I even went back to make sure the flavors and brands matched our old bag and everything matched except the food on the inside. Not happy. We have a St Bernard, a St Bernard Malamute who are almost bald in some areas because of the hair falling out. Our dogs only got this dog food, no other brand and very limited if any human food. The bowl on the left was old bag, the bowl on the right was the new bag, major difference. Could have at least told people they were adding red dye or something.

    My fiancée and I are both disabled veterans and we were having our dog professionally trained to be a service dog. We only feed our dog Life’s Abundance highly nutritional dog food and supplements recommended by the breeder. I purchased an Ol’ Roy large femur bone as a treat for my dog. I have never done this before and was not aware that the FDA warns that these bones may kill your dog. I was not aware that Walmart has tried to get the manufacturer to put a warning label on these bones that is highlighted and better than the current warning that just says to supervise your pet with the bone. What is to prevent Walmart from doing the right thing and put their own warning on the shelf? I am sure it boils down to profits.

    The manufacturer still hasn’t put sufficient warning labels on these bones, only on their company website. Google this and you will see how David Frick has no sympathy and compares it to a child choking on a Lego…. his response “tough”. I gave our dog the bone for less than an hour while she was right next to me, she was enjoying her treat. Later that evening, she wouldn’t eat and had diarrhea. Our dog just laid down, wouldn’t play or go for walks, all of this is abnormal. Over the next week she had two vet visits and ended up in the emergency veterinary hospital. Her stomach lining was bleeding and her kidneys began to fail. All this while, she stopped eating after chewing on the femur bone, she had to have a feeding tube in the emergency hospital. Our dog was in great pain and her kidneys continued to shut down, we sadly had to let her go. She never came home.

    Once I googled these Ol’ Roy products, I was appalled by all the dogs that have died, gotten sick or were seriously injured. The more I checked into Ol’ Roy product’s, it’s obvious it all boils down to money or else these products wouldn’t be still on the shelf. Our vet bills cost over $6,000 to save our dog and all the thousands in professional training was in vain. We miss our dog, she was a family member and hopefully this post will help others.

Within a matter of hours the youngest (3) started. Now a day later my last dog, the middle child (4) has started too. The only thing that changed was the dog bones.

    We bought Ol Roy Adult Dog Food from WalMart a couple of months ago. Our dog was eating it like he was addicted, not sure what hidden ingredients are in this dog food, as dog food manufacturers are not regulated by the FDA. We noticed that after he ate his dog food, he was lapping water like there was a water famine. So last week, we took our dog to the vet for a hurt leg. She did some blood work on him because she thought his belly looked swollen. She called us back immediately and said that our dog's liver enzymes were elevated and his albumin was low.

    The swelling was from leaky gut and he was losing protein through third space losses (ascites). Now he's on two different antibiotics, milk thistle to detox his liver, and specialty dog food that has no preservatives, no soy, corn meal, barley or white rice. Mostly vegan with fish, chicken or beef, no xylitol. I had to order it special from a vet who specializes in this problem. Our vet said it could be gall bladder, toxic substances, hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver or liver cancer. We won't know until he finishes the antibiotics and has been on the milk thistle treatment. We are convinced there was something in that Ol roy dog food.

    When we first bought the product about 1 week ago, our dog did not want to eat it. After a week of trying, we decided to cut it up to tiny pieces and she finally ate it. We thought that maybe it was just too big for her to chew. The next day she had diarrhea for the whole day, it was literally like water coming out of her. I also noticed that her right eye was droopy. The day after she was throwing up all day and even today she is still throwing up. We obviously threw the treats out right away. Not sure if other owners have went through this with this product, it definitely has made us not want to buy anything from that brand anymore.

    I fed my dog a combination of the dry and wet food and he had an epic throw up. Additionally, the cust service rep was uninformed about their own product as they inquired as to the exp date and could not guide me as to where to find it. She also lied and told me this food had never been recalled. Although upon further investigation I found that Ol Roy had in fact had issues in the past. The rep didn't offer any replacement. The rep didn't even apologize or advise to stop feeding my dog this food. Total lack of concern. Why should I tell her how to handle an upset customer? Totally lacking in customer service.

    My dog is a chewer... and loves these 6" rawhide bones. She is a small dog..so these are big for her. She gnaws and chews on these... breaking off very small bits at a time. We have never had a choking or throwing-up problem. We also remove it when it becomes a nub.. or too small for her to hold... as I am aware some dogs without supervision will swallow too big of pieces without chewing. My dog will throw up or have an upset stomach with other brands that are not rawhide... so we LOVE these. Please keep them on the market.
