    I bought a bag of Ol' Roy Beefhide Twist Sticks with Chicken (23.6 oz.) at Walmart. Cost: $21.42. My dog, who normally goes through chew bones in seconds, had a terrible time taking a bone apart. She completely abandoned the red strips around it. Waste of money!

    I've bought Ol' Roy biscuits for years. 10/25/25 I got a box that will be my last. The bones look burnt and are extremely hard. I cannot break them up unless I use a hammer. My dog is a 12 year old Labrador and she is having trouble eating them. Best buy date is 9/9/26 but they will be petrified by then. I'm very disappointed in this product and will never buy again. Poor quality.

    Noticing my dog is not even wanting to eat his brand new opened beef stew. To test him I put right next to it some dry kibble. He ate a dry kibble right away, even though he has very few teeth. I used to add water to the dry kibble to make it soft for him and add bits of chicken and vegetables, etc. until I found this handy plastic container that looks so yummy but When you smell the food, it doesn’t smell at all like beef.. This morning, my husband just checked, where this food is made, which I never even thought to look at before, and it is made in Thailand. I think I’ll go back to making my own dog food again!

    My healthy dog became very sick after just a couple of these meals. Ol Roy is the worst dog food on this planet. My dog had the worst diarrhea, acted very weird just as plain sick. My rugs destroyed, one thrown out. I will never buy any product made by ol roy.

    This brand was a pure mistake, and I wish I had looked at reviews, or even better— stayed to my natural dog treat options. My 2 Year Old Large breed had a Pork Femur Bone, and has been sick with diarrhea, and vomit in a span of two days, which was the only two days she’s had it. I looked on Walmart's reviews and found over 200+ people with the same 1 Star Issue. I’m in the position where we are waiting it out/fasting her to possible having to take her to the Vet as it’s been 48 Hours of diarrhea and less than 24 of Vomit.

    I have 10 dogs that I've rescued and these are hands down their favorite treats. However, of the 10 dogs that range from a 20lbs. Pocket Beagle to a 150lbs German Shepard, 2 of them are allergic to them. They cause severe itching for some unknown reason. Must be one of the ingredients no doubt, but which one????

    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.
