Ol Roy Pet Foods Reviews

I bought Ol Roy puppy chow complete for my puppy and after she started eating it for a few days she got weak and was vomiting and having bloody diarrhea. Within a few days, she was dead. My poor sweet puppy! Ol Roy should be shut down, I've read so many stories after she died of other people having the same problem. I want justice for my pup!!!

We tried Ol Roy High Performance for our three dogs and they all started getting sick. I am talking vomiting, diarrhea and all. I found moldy chunks in the dog food bag after them being sick for three days straight. I immediately threw the nasty food away and bought a better food. The next day none of my dogs were ill. NEVER buy this crap!!!

I had two Boxers for approx 10 years (they were rescues). They were in good health and literally dropped dead. Oz was in bed in March. I said goodnight to him and went to my bed. He screamed about 5 minutes later - I ran and he was dead before I got to him (less than 50 feet). Three months later my other Boxer literally stood up in bed and fell off dead. They had nothing in common as far as genealogy. The only thing was their dog food... Ol Roy complete nutrition. Now I am worried about my other two dogs eating that food. I have about 80lbs left over.

My dog has been sick all night. Diarrhea, throwing up and dry heaving - this is not okay! When I looked at the food this is what I found. I then did research while up with her all night and found that this is an ongoing problem with this company. They should not be able to sell this at the store and should be recalled. Not acceptable at all! I am beyond angry that my dog is this sick from this food. Recall this before more dogs get sick!

I have recently bought a bag of Ol Roy dog food for my Rocco Boy as I always do... However this time he is sick. He is having bouts of diarrhea and is even pooping in the house and he never does that. I am so upset that my dog is sick and I have taken up all of his food. I want my money back and I will never buy this food for him again, especially after reading all of the horrible reviews.

My dog has had diarrhea since eating 50lb red bag purchased at Wal-Mart. I thought she got into something til I noticed no sooner does she eat, out it comes.

We got a 2 month old puppy 2 months ago. We decided to feed him Ol Roy puppy food because on the bag on it says same ingredients as Purina puppy chow. Well he has diarrhea on and off since we got him until last week when I got a new bag at Walmart. He started vomiting and liquid diarrhea and refused to eat his food. I took him to the vet today and told me that he has a bacterial intestinal infection from his dog food. They told me stop feeding him that food right away. Had to get a shot to stop the diarrhea and he is on antibiotics for a week. The poor guy is only 4 months old and this puppy food is awful! Please never feed this to your beloved pets! Not worth saving a few dollars if it kills your dog!

Ol roy Dog food made 2 of my dogs very sick and luckily we figured it out and stop feeding it to them. I have a 95 lb pup that is American bulldog/white Shepherd that has never missed a meal and the 8 months-- he now weighs 75lbs-- I have had him he has never been sick until we started feeding him ol roy complete nutrition-- we bought a 50 lb bag. I also have a 4 month old 20 lb blue healer who now weighs 11 lbs thanks to the same dog food because both have been throwing up. They have only been on this food for 2 weeks. I would never recommend anyone buy ol roy for any pet because it makes your pets ill and if you feed and continue to feed them this brand it could cost the animals life or a really expensive vet bill.

This dog food killed my dog last week. I bought a 50lb of ol Roy dog food last week cause I usually buy Old Yeller Dog Food but they didn't sell it at Wal-Mart So I bought a bag of Ol' Roy instead. The first day he ate about half of what I gave him and my female dog wouldn't touch it at all. Anyway 3 days Sam quit eating completely. He almost lost 100lb. He started passing blood out of his pee hole, out of his butt and mouth. So in about 9 days after buying it I had to have him out down. The vet did test and it was from the food.

I bought a 10 lb box of Ol Roy biscuits for my 6 month old catahoula. Up until now I have been buying milk bones which never make him sick. He did not show signs of being sick until the next day had major runs so I waited a few days. Gave him half within 15 mins, he had the runs again. I'm taking these back today, do not buy!

I was wondering if anyone has experience your dog getting sick every time he or she eats this food. I fed her for the first time last week and she got sick. I fed her today and I was thinking she was playing after she ate too fast and got an upset stomach. Today after she ate, went to. Shih Tzu and she is 2 months old .

We've been buying Ol Roy for our dogs for years. Back on about March 13, 2015, I bought a 15 lb bag. Our dog would not eat it. Set it in front of her, she'd take her paw and dump dish. Would not eat it. Bought another bag and has eaten it. There was something wrong with that bag of food. We thought something was wrong with our dog. Bought the new bag and she has been eating. Buy our food at Wal-Mart. Either store 1080 in Johnson City, TN or store 620 in Bristol, TN. Never kept receipts. Never had problems. Until now.

Ever since I added Ol Roy foods to my toy poodle's dry food (science diet), he's been very sick. I finally got on here to read some reviews on the brand and now it all makes sense! He's been sick since we added Ol Roy. I will take the unopened box back to Walmart and will never buy that brand again! I will stick to science diet instead!! So disgusted that Ol Roy would do this to our pets who are truly our family!

I buy the large cans of Ol' Roy for my dogs, but I refused to buy the beef flavor because it was more water than food. I only bought the top sirloin loaf in the can, and now it's nothing but mush. I'm changing from Ol' Roy to another brand. I'm tired of being cheated by greedy rich business people or all greedy rich people.

Had 3 labs. Ages 5, 7, & 8. Had been feeding them Ol' Roy Meaty Chunks & Gravy brand for 2.5 yrs. The 7 year old male ate a can one evening combined with a smaller than regular dry food portion. Within a few hours he began wrenching and dry heaving. Took him to the vet immediately. He had bloated. Ultimately his stomach got torted during this experience and we had to put him down. The 5 year old shortly after had the same bloating but no torsion. Ultimately he survived. They are treated well. Exercised at the appropriate times and given proper portions of water at all times.

I myself do not use Ol Roy. My mother however rescues animals of all kinds and cannot afford expensive food. I ship her a few 50lb bags of Ol Roy here and there. She has a shepherd mix that lived to be 21, several small Jack Russells that lived well into their late teens- early twenties, and countless other dogs none of which died earlier that 13 years of age. All of her dogs have had Ol Roy their entire lives (at least as long as they were with her). Let's face it, animals die for many different reasons. My dog passed away from a recalled dog food that cost me almost $60 for a 20lb bag. I won't say the name, but its initials are BB.

I fed this to my beagle for 1 yr and she died from complete kidney failure.

My German Shepherd has been eating Ol' Roy dog food for the last 6 years; now one week ago we picked up another 50lb bag like we do every week, and now she is very sick, she has been throwing up, diarrhea, vomiting blood, very lethargic, and excessive thirst. This has only started since this bag of food. I am now worried about my Husky/Malamute who is just one year old. He currently isn't showing signs of sickness just excessive thirst. I decided to put them on a liquid diet for the night and I will be getting a different kind of dog food in the morning.

I purchased a 50-LB bag of your dog food of Ol Roy Bacon flavor and it made my puppy to lose fur and the Ol Roy Complete Nutrition Dog food we been using for 5 years without no problems. We tried the Bacon Flavor - it harm my animals.

I have seen a significant change in my dogs from sickness to going blind. It disgusts me on why it is legal to sell such a terrible product. My animals are my family and this makes me extremely upset that this food caused health problems. I have done research on this product and the ingredients are inhumane.

There was some kind of parasite in the food and when I started to dump it out the bottom of bag, was full of mold. I am extremely pissed off; have never had this problems before. I will be telling everyone not to buy, and now after reading the reviews, I can't even find a number to contact the company.

The quality of the bones is getting worse. They keep falling apart and are almost always broke. I have big dogs and they like their bones whole instead of little pieces.

We had a dog and we have been feeding him that for the past few years. He loved it, but died suddenly at the age of 14. We have a new puppy and feed her this. Will it kill her? She did have unexplained diarrhea and unexplained bloating for the past few days :S

I have 10 dogs that will not eat nothing but Ol Roy Soft Moist Beef, they have been eating that now for 10 yrs or so and they are as healthy as can be! Thank God I have had no problems so far!

The past month I have spent $1,500 in vet and animal hospital bills. I have a 14 year old, female, mixed breed, who will be 15 in a couple of months. Years ago she had a bad reaction to Pedigree and had seizures. I ended up using Old Roy dry kibbles & bits, used it for years and she did fine. A few months ago I switched to Old Roy can food, thinking that the can food may be easier for her to eat. Evidently there is something in this that does not agree with her. She started having runny eyes, skin sores, drinking excessive and incontinence. I passed the incontinence off as old age and being spayed. For seven days now I have taken away all store bought dog food and treats and began cooking boiled chicken, brown rice, and carrots. All of her symptoms have stopped.

We bought this food last 5 yrs...my momma dog now has HIGH cholesterol AND thyroid problems. And this last bag we bought is so bad that my boz won't eat it!!! Color is off.. Smells OLD!! Something is wrong with it!!! Changing brands!! Pls look into this.... something isn't right!!

We've had our Chihuahua for 10 years. He was healthy and playful... very well trained dog. We would feed him Pedigree and found Ol' Roy had the same food for less so we started buying it. It didn't seem to affect him in any way up until he got bloody diarrhea and when he took him in he apparently had cancer in all his organs. He didn't make it through the night. I have 2 other dogs that eat the same food and have been throwing it up. I never in my life thought the food would kill my poor baby! How is this stuff being allowed to sell?

My husband purchased 5 cans of Ol Roy canned turkey and bacon dog food on 1/26/15. I ALWAYS buy ALPO but husband went to store and bought Ol Roy brand. My dog ate 1/2 a can yesterday with his dry food. Today he ate his breakfast and threw up 3x within a few hours. After I gave him his dinner he threw up again 2 more times. I WILL NOT FEED THIS TO MY DOG AGAIN. THIS IS CRAP AND TOXIC TO MY DOG. If my dog continues to vomit I will be going to a vet and an attorney. How can they sell this? I'm taking the rest of the cans back to Walmart and I will tell them why. I do have the e-receipt on my phone but don't know how to upload here.

I'm freaking out!! I just fed my 9 weeks old puppy 1/2 can of Ol Roy chicken puppy food because Wal-Mart didn't have any other brand for puppies. He refused to eat at first but I insisted so he ate some and 10 minutes later was throwing up all over the house!!! So I started to read all of this reviews and can't help but feel terrible for not researching it first! I'm just praying for my little dog not to get sick!! It's awful that this product is still on the market after so many complaints and bad reviews. If I would have known I would not have bought it.

Everyone asks me when they see my dogs "wow they are ripped what do you feed them" or "wow your dogs are in extremely great shape what do you feed?" I use Ol Roy Performance. Nothing beats it for the price and my dogs look like they eat that dog food that cost triple of ol roy performance. If I could post a pic I would to prove. My dogs are here with me.

We have been feeding our 14-year-old Blue Healer Ole Roy food for several years. However, about 3 months ago we noticed that she was having some difficulty with her back end like she was having discomfort. The vet said she had a kidney infection and put her on some meds. She seemed to be getting better. But after a few weeks she started losing her appetite to the point of almost not eating. I gave her some treats and other goodies that were not Ole Roy and she gobbled them right up. Couldn't make sense of it. Then she started losing weight and began drinking excessively daily. We finally her diet to changed to Iams and she has not turned down one meal. Now hoping we haven't done too much damage and that she bounces back. She is a pretty tough girl but I am very concerned for her health still. Decided to check out Ole Roy reviews online and now it all makes sense! Stay clear of this Ole Roy crap they call dog "food"!

When we got to the bottom of the bag of our Ol'Roy bacon flavor dog food, the food was moldy. We have never had this problem before. The hardest thing is I have one dog, won't eat anything else.

My father bought this dog food early last year, because it was cheap and we were low on funds. Thought it was a great buy, till my dog got sick. My poor girl now has Autoimmune Disease because of this rotten product!

All of my 3 dogs died from the Ol’ Roy dog food I bought. Thanks to them I have no pet. :(

I had a litter of puppies to raise. 6 puppies. I went to Walmart to get a bag of puppy chow. They were out of Purina, which is what I normally get my puppies. The only thing they had left was Ol' Roy. I bought it thinking it wouldn't hurt. Needless to say, less than two weeks later, two of my puppies are dead, and two are so skinny and lethargic I doubt they will survive.

I fed my Red Setter Ol Roy for 15.5 years. She loved it and was healthy until age 15 when she developed cancer. I think it is the best dog food on the market today!

Munchers mini pet treat - I got a new puppy for Christmas. She became lethargic and had diarrhea. I thought it could be the switch from regular food to puppy food or the treats. I changed her food back but also stopped with the treats. The diarrhea subsided and she felt better. I left the food the same but gave her a treat this morning, since having the treat she is once again lethargic, loose stools, refusing food and water. So now I know it's the treats. Tomorrow we will visit the vet. Please do not feed these treats, I am certain they made her ill.

I bought a can of Ol’ Roy dog food, the one with cheese in it and it was moldy and black. This is what we are feeding our pets. I'm disgusted, I will never buy this brand again.

Bought olRoy lean bark n bacon for my 4 dogs yesterday. About 4 hours later they all had diarrhea and vomiting. They are lethargic and just plain don't feel good! It is the next day and they are the same, won't eat and needing to go out every 20 minutes to go potty. I feel SO bad for them and wished now I never bought olRoy treats. I see a bunch of complaints and something needs to be done about our pets getting sick because of us giving them a treat. It's terrible!

Today, I woke up to my dog dead from feeding it Ol Roy dog food. Didn't notice until I poured my other dogs the last of the food and in the bag is maggots in dried up chunks! Then I look to find there's a recall on their food yet Walmart still sells it!

Ol Roy Puppy Bones - I went to give my dog a few this morning and found mold in the box. I could never realize how a company could sell something that has a potential to kill an animal. These treats were stored in the original box in a cabinet away from water/moisture.

My Basset Hound is extremely lethargic today, has been vomiting, and had diarrhea with the vomiting last night. This has been now for 3 days. My husband a week and half ago bought the Ol'Roy biscuits from Walmart. Today I started researching causes for dog vomiting, and googled "vomiting and Ol'Roy biscuits" to find Consumer Affairs complaints up the WAZOO on this company! Many telling the same tale, only their ending with the death of their dogs!!! What in the name of GOD??? IS Walmart doing, Consumer Affairs what are you doing, and Ol'ROY you need to be SUED class ACTION Style/co defendant Walmart!! GET THESE OFF THE SHELVES NOW!!! If my Basset Hound dies you will PAY!!!

We purchased the Ol'Roy dog treats in Aug. 2014 from Walmart. We started feeding our 2 Boxers these treats, well one of the boxers liked to snag the other's treats all the time. We started to notice that she was loosing weight. We thought she is a rescue dog and a little older than the Boxer we already had, maybe she is just getting old. We ended up bringing her in to the Vet beginning Sept. 4, 2014, she was in liver and kidney failure, we put her down. The other Boxer was brought in for his yearly check up Sept. 6, 2014 all good health dog!! We continued to feed him the treats.

I have always fed my dogs the Ol Roy small breed (purple bag) and my cousin the Ol Roy complete nutrition (the red bag) and they are just fine and very healthy.

Well I have 2 American bulldogs, one female and one male. I also have money problems due to a car wreck so I went to walmart instead of going to a feed and grain where u can get good food for your dog. Any way I did the transition like u usually would by giving them a small amount of the new food everyday for a week so it is easier on them. Any way 3 days into giving them a very small amount of mixed food they both started having a bad case of diarrhea. Then shortly after they both started to throw up every day and started eating grass everyday and sometimes almost everytime when they went outside they would eat grass and throw up and now my dogs don't hardly play anymore like they use to all the time because they was happy and felt good. Now they just mope around and also now they only eat every other day unlike they use to eat 2 times a day. They have gone as long as 2 days not wanting to eat this so called good dog food, not, lmao.

I only give this treat to two of my dogs, a little 4 lb chihuahua named Chico and a schnauzer named Doodles who weighs 13 lbs. Doodles came down sick first - diarrhea, then bloody diarrhea. Emergency vet on Sunday saved her life, but she almost died. 5 days later our little Chico came down with the same thing and died within 12 hours. Vets could not find out why this happen. Last night I gave this treat to a little dog in our care, and this morning he now has diarrhea and is very sick. Won't eat, vomiting. Do not, I repeat DO NOT buy any Ol Roy treats or dog food. It makes my heart break to know it was my fault my little baby died and now two are so sick and may still die. I am having the treats tested. If it is the treats, I am suing this company big time. We should not have to go thru this pain and heartache of watching our little dogs bleed to death and die in our arms.

I can't believe this company is still allowed to sell this poison. There have been at least 582,792 cases of recalls because of consumer complaints. These people falsified information to the insurance company to make sure they wouldn't pay for all the expenses I incurred because of their product. My dogs stopped eating or drinking water. They had to be placed in emergency care with IV and other meds but one died. The food manufacturer submits information to the insurance company talk about a conflict of interest.

We bought our eleven-month-old puppy some dog biscuits at Walmart. It was the last thing he ever ate. The next day he was real lethargic. When my husband came home we took him to an emergency clinic. They ran some blood tests and put him on an iv. The next morning, the vet called to tell us that he did not make it through the night. I know it was the ol' roy beef basted dog biscuits we bought him at Walmart.

Wow I did not realize it was in recall!! But I recently had two puppies die from a disease called HGE. They say it comes from the food I am feeding my dogs. So I will be bringing my newly opened bag of high performance ol roy back to walmart tomorrow. Walmart food causes this to happen. I was just there, they still have it on the shelves. I will be putting my dogs back on a brand I know that is not in recall.

I have six beautiful pups born May 26 and 27, 2014. Their mom is my baby, so I was excited to help her birth her pups...which I did. Once they became 8 weeks, they stated eating dry foods. Now, time passes and they are eating way more (plus I have to feed mom who is a large breed) and finances became tight - I purchased Ol' Roy. Worse mistake of my life. All six of my puppies have been eating this food. Five have excessive diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy, extreme loss of weight, refusing food, excessive drinking and one is so bloated he looks to pop. The only thing done different in their lives is the food and I'm to blame for making that choice.

We have a German Shepherd who when we give her the treats she absolutely loves them, I mean really really loves them. In fact to the point she drives us crazy wanting more. The fact is she acts like a tweeker, this is no joke, I’m serious. That dog gets so hyper sometimes to keep her from bugging you to death you have to put her in the other room. The first box we had used was peanut butter flavor. After we got halfway through the box I quit giving them to her. I thought maybe it was the PB was reacting with her and stopped giving them to her. She loves her treats, but none of the other treats such as milk bones or beggin strips drove her so insane. In fact she would choose these over beggin strips.

We have always bought the best, highest protein dog food that we could afford but they weren't putting any weight on our usual 14 dogs. We thought we'd try something else and was told Complete Nutrition by Ol’ Roy would put weight on. We bought Ol’ Roy starting almost a year ago. Our dogs did start putting on weight but started having health problems. At this point in time we are taking our dogs off it because of all the health problems and sickness that started getting worse with the last two 50# bags we bought. We've had a lot of problems with diarrhea, vomiting, and one dog almost turned into a skeleton till receiving antibiotics. What is wrong with the dog food these days!!!! There is no reason to be selling poison dog food to the public. And this vitamin K thing that they put in it now I've heard is poison. What, does every bit of dog food come from China now?

My Yorkie started eating these 2-3 months ago. She has now developed some serious health issues. I am wondering if these snacks are the cause. The symptoms are similar to Cushings Disease symptoms...excessive drinking and urinating, panting, protein in urine, high blood pressure. Cushings has now been ruled out so we are now looking for another cause. Until very recently, she was a high energy and healthy dog.

I bought this food 3 times for my sampson and I feel absolutely awful. This food gave him diarrhea and caused him to lose weight and become lethargic and losing weight. He started going almost every morning in his crate. My teens had thrown out one bag because of maggots. We thought it was a fluke. Last bag had to be thrown away because we shook up the bag and found maggots in it also. I was horrified that my choice of changing his food was making him sick. Wal-Mart should be sued

We bought a variety pack strips in gravy and when we opened, it was already rotten and stunk up the house and the dogs wouldn't even eat it. This is the 2nd time this has happened. Problem being you have to have a receipt to get your money back and I didn't think that I would need it. This is what I always get. The exp date is 6/10/17... I would like to know if there is any compensation for this? The closest store to get this is 80 miles.

My dog loves Ol Roy's single Dog treats and they went back to the old ones again and he hates them. I gave him 3 of them and they are just sitting. He loves the ones that don't have the white casing and I am disappointed again that they went back to these treats. They take too long for them to eat their treat and they taste awful so my dog thinks, "I want the old treats back again". I spend 50 bucks a month on these treats and they go back to the one no one likes. I ran to every walmart hoping to find one place that may have still had the good one and no luck. VERY DISAPPOINTED BEING MY DOG IS ADDICTED TO THEM NOW.

I recently bought a bag of Ol' Roy dog food large breed and I feed it to my dog and she vomited. I thought it was something else so I fed it to her again and she ate it and vomited instantly with real bad gas. So I looked up the product and I seen thousands of complaints saying that they was killing dogs. I quickly returned the product and tried to file a claim against Walmart. They told me there was nothing they could do. I called corporate and got the same response. I filed a claim with "BBB" but they won't respond to the claim until I get a claim from Walmart. Shortly after that I talked to one of the people at Mars, manufacturer, and they have me a runaround. I told them everything their good has done and they did not care.

I fed my dog a can of Ol' Roy wet dog food as a treat. He rarely gets wet food. I gave it to him last night, and so far all day today he has had to go the bathroom a lot. I don't like leaving dog poop on my lawn so I pick it up ASAP. Well today I noticed it wasn't normal at first, extremely soft (this was his first visit outside). 30 minutes later he has to go again. I grab the shovel to pick it up and I can't, it's pure liquid. While I was rinsing away the mess he had to go yet again. This time it was 90% blood. My dog is whimpering as he goes to the bathroom. Ol' roy should not be allowed to continue selling products that leave their consumers in such upset and pain. I will never buy anything in this brand for my pooch again. I feel terrible that I fed him this. I wish I knew how bad this food was.

Today I am very worried about my shit-zu girl hiccup. She has the diarrhea and is getting sick and doesn't want to move and barely goes outside. She has been like this for 2 days, she hasn't wanted to eat and drinks large amounts of water. She gets sick all day long after eating the dog food so we took it away from her and her siblings. We are hoping it's just a small flu and it will pass but we were given the food with her when we got her and started showing systems of parvo but no bloody stool yet. I'm hoping we caught it before anything happens.

My dog, a 6 year old black lab, has been on Ol Roy complete nutrition for the last 5 years or so, without any problems before. Just after Christmas 2013 we switched him to the diet version of Ol Roy. I bought the first 40 lb bag, no problem, then the next time I went to Walmart I bought 2 of them. I stored the extra one in the closet. First bag was ok, then when I switched over to the second bag, it was infested with Pantry Moths. They were everywhere!

We don't normally buy Ol Roy. This month, things got real tight. Two of our three vehicles broke down. So, we didn't have what we normally would have to spend on dog food for our two dogs. After feeding this crap of them for two days, my dogs have diarrhea and it smells horrible. They aren't as playful. I stopped feeding it to them. Guess what? They aren't sick anymore. ALL stores, not just Wal-Mart, need to pull this POISON off their shelves. I wonder if this company actually like dogs or if they are trying to kill all of them.

I purchased wet dog food because I like to mix it with the dry, which is usually the Ol' Roy brand - the kind that makes gravy. Lately, my dogs won't eat the dry, either dry or with water added to make gravy. I always buy some kind of wet/canned food for my little old dogs, but usually get a different brand which was not available at the store on shopping day so I picked up the Ol' Roy brand. I CANNOT stand to feed it to them because it smells like feces! It's absolutely HORRIBLE!

My dog is 14 years old, and sometimes picky about eating so I picked her up something different which was the ol' roy soft & moist beef flavor pouches. Gave her half a pouch, she ate it up. About 2 hours later she was throwing up, she threw up all night - a total 7 times. Couldn't keep anything down. Took her to vet next morning. He said it was something in the food she ate.

10-yr-old Doberman Service dog that I depend on for life itself. After eating "ROUNDS" dog-food the kind that looks like green olives, She lost all her body weight and drinks 2-3 gallons of water per day... and can barely walk. That food is the reason I know for sure... She's still hanging in there, But if she dies I want you to know the folks that make this stuff will have killed more than just "A dog" but me as well. The backlash will come down with full media coverage the likes of which that could result in this company's future the very same as my dog.

I am a Vet Tech in St. George, Utah and we had two 6 week old puppies come in that were exhibiting the same symptoms. They both were acting lethargic, and had been vomiting. The client told us that he just bought the Ol Roy food because he was low on money. The SAME DAY he bought it and gave it to the puppies, they came into my clinic for what seemed like a toxicity or poisoning. They were both lethargic, and unresponsive. After an injection of calcium and some Karo syrup and dextrose, the female responded well and was eating on her own. The male never regained consciousness and actually became worse as the appointment went longer. I had pulled up a review of the food and in almost EVERY article there were dogs with the same symptoms as the puppies! Distended abdomen, vomiting, etc. and out of those articles the ones that didn't die, wound up with liver damage. Needless to say, the little male didn't survive.

I always buy the Ol Roy kibbles and chunks & chews but the last bag I got had no kibbles & chews. I have been getting this food for my 2 dogs and this is the first time it was like this. You may want to look in to this matter. The UPS number is 8113100183.

I been bought Ol' Roy complete nutrition from my local Walmart near Lebanon and Reading PA. I gotten a 50 lb bag for $19.99. Well, I been noticing my Yellow Labs, the dogs, have been puking a lot and I noticed they are not able to digest their food. I also noticed they do not really eat the food so I gotten them moist with their food Ol' Roy because of the price I could afford it. The youngest dog who weighs 80 lbs digests it well but on occasion gets sick on the floor. The oldest dog who is 11 is not digesting this well.

I got a Pomeranian that I think is mixed with a Mini American Eskimo. She is just over 2 years by a week now and wonder why she seems to keep getting sick. I take care of my dog very well! Vet Visits for all her shots on time. I had her spayed, and every time she don't look herself, right back to the vet. As the vet tells me everything seems fine, they don't see her every day to see what her symptoms are. I've done lots of research on things. It could be for small dogs and one thing the vet did mention that was the same as my research... Collapsing Trachea. She never had the symptoms before 2013 came to a end. Allergies to food came to my mind to but cannot afford allergies test to be done yet. A lot of product with chicken additives and fat preservatives is a no go. This goes along with turkey.

We were short on money and bought our 3 dogs Ol' Roy Complete Nutrition 50 lb. bag. We noticed that our Lab was extremely thirsty in the evening after eating the dog food. The next morning she had extreme diarrhea. I thought nothing of it until our Chihuahua and Pomeranian stopped, did not want to eat the food and both developed extreme bloat and stomach cramps. They both have whimpered for 2 days now. I have an Veterinarian appt. this morning to have them checked out. I HAVE THROWN THAT LOUSY FOOD OUT!!!!!! I HOPE MY 3 DOGS SURVIVE THIS MESS.

We purchased Ol' Roy Beef Basted Biscuits 5 days ago. We fed a couple of them to our beautiful dog for 3 days after that. Yesterday, my husband came home to a very sick dog who had multiple piles of vomit and she was lethargic. She proceeded to throw up numerous times, had a large bowel movement that ended up with diarrhea. More vomiting occurred.

I had a 10-year-old Doberman Pinscher, and bought Ol' Roy Large Breed dog food for her in early December because she was low on her normal food, and Walmart was out of it. I figured it wouldn't hurt her for me to mix the last 1/4 bag of her normal food with Ol' Roy, and have her eat that for a couple of weeks. I couldn't have been more wrong. Roughly a week after I started feeding her the Ol' Roy, she died. She was fine at 8pm, and had been running around, playing with our kids earlier in the day, then at 8am the next morning, we found her body, surrounded by bloody diarrhea.

I have an American Mastiff/Pit mix and a Great Dane, both approx. 8 yrs old. They used to get Purina One, then as money got tight, they got Purina Dog Chow, then to Ol' Roy. They've been eating that for quite some time now, but our mix dog started drinking an increasing amount of water. This has also led to him peeing a substantial amount more frequently and more in volume. He occasionally coughs, has developed a severe case of dry mouth, and has almost totally quit eating the dog food. He has lost a total of 19 pounds and is now down to 93 from 112.

Never will I purchase any commercial dog food at Walmart or any discounted store again. In fact, Ol' Roy foods are the worst. The company indicates that all foods are packaged in the USA, but the manufacturer of their dog food is from China. My dog got very, very sick from eating this crappy dog food and eventually died from Acute Renal Failure. Now, I make homemade dog food of which I KNOW what is in the meal.

We had 5 puppies and 2 dogs, only one of the puppies didn't eat the Ol' Roy. The one that didn't eat it is perfectly healthy. We were buying the Ol' Roy because we're on a fixed income and my female dog had a litter of puppies. The dad is just fine but he didn't eat the Ol' Roy either. The puppies were born on October 17th. Today is January 25th and we just had to euthanize our beautiful puppies and the mom and her cousin. The puppies were full of life and healthy until they started eating on their own which was the Ol' Roy. Also I should mention that the mom and cousin were both vaccinated well before this happened. All puppies and Chance and Luna (mom and cousin) started showing signs of Parvo shortly after eating it. As I said previous, Chance and Luna were both vaccinated. There's nothing else it could have been.

On Thursday January 9th, I ran by Walmart and bought a bag of treats. First time I have ever bought anything "Old Roy". I thought well they didn't have any chicken Pepperoni treats and so I tried the chicken because he loves chicken the best. I gave him 2 treats about 2" long that night. The next morning, I saw where he had thrown up. That day after work, I go home and there is "loose stool" throughout my house. I knew immediately he was not well. Throughout Saturday, the loose bowel movements continued. No more throwing up. The last time I took him out Saturday night, I noticed there was blood in his stool when I cleaned him off. Sunday morning around 2:30, I awakened to him throwing up. It was pink. I knew then there was blood in it.

My long haired Dachshund has been eating Ol Roy Moist and Meaty Brand dog food, for a while... the ONLY reason she eats this, is it is the only thing she likes, besides her baked chicken breast... She is very picky... I had bought her a new box & started feeding her a package & as soon as she started eating a few bites, she was vomiting, then she lied down & became very lethargic... It soon passed... I thought okay, maybe just some kind of tummy upset. She then felt better. She ate her chicken breast... felt better. So the next day, she went to eat her Ol Roy, after a couple of bites, she started vomiting again & was sick... I noticed the food had a strong odor... stronger than usual. I thought maybe something was wrong with this batch...so went out & bought another box... fed her a couple bites of it... vomiting again!!!! Needless to say, there is definitely something horribly wrong with this food!!! I don't know what, but this food needs to be recalled!!! Please don't feed this to your dog. I stopped! It has a strange odor. I am lucky she didn't die. I should have not given her any after the first time she vomited, after reading some reviews about this food!!! She is a lucky dog. She will never eat Ol Roy food again!!!!

Bought Ol Roy for my two Pomeranians, now one is dead, and other one is dying. Dog food is being analyzed by a laboratory. Please don't buy Ol Roy dog food for your dog. Walmart should take these claims seriously and pull it from the shelves.

Ol' Roy Krunchy Bites & Bones - I was running low on my normal Dog Food & had my 18 yr. old grab me a bag. He came home with Ol' Roy. I figured 1 day of a different food would not hurt, I could not have been more wrong! 5 dogs, (3 Aussies, 1 Heeler, 1 St. Bernard), only the 5 yr. Old perfectly healthy St. Bernard ate the Ol' Roy, the others turned up their noses to it. 2 hours after my Healthy Saint ate the Ol' Roy, she started to vomit. I pulled the food & just figured, it was a different food & gave her a belly ache! I went and bought their regular food. 6 hours after the vomiting, 8 hours after the consumption of Ol' Roy, my Beautiful Healthy Saint Bernard died in my living room! After a very emotional day, I called WalMart to let them know, and I let them know THE REST OF THAT BAG WILL BE GOING TO AN INDEPENDENT LAB MONDAY FOR TESTING! Tomorrow I am calling Ol' Roy and the FDA.. I want answers, Why would you make or sell a product that killed my dog? My story has too many consistencies with other stories to be anything else other than the food!

A couple of months ago, we began feeding our Shi-Tzu a small amount (heaping teaspoon) of wet dog food along with the dry to make it more palatable. We started with Beneful, but after several weeks began using Ol' Roy Healthy Mix to save money. Last week (Christmas night) we noticed that our dog started to act lethargic and was drooling heavily. Not long after she began to vomit and had uncontrollable diarrhea. She would lay on her bed with fixed eyes and labored breathing, wouldn't drink or open her mouth at all. After several hours of monitoring her and contacting the vet, she began to show signs of improvement.

Fed our Cairn Terrier Ol Roy moist and meaty on 12/20/13 around 5:30pm, and by 12am she was dead. I bought the box of food back in June and used one pack from it. Didn't use again until now. She ate and was fine until about 10:45pm when she started coughing and then acted like she was having a stroke or something. She was weak after that and and couldn't stand well. She had small amount of diarrhea a little later. I held her for 1/2 hr and then she got down and went to get a drink of water. After that she seemed a little better but still wanted to be held.

I purchased Ol' Roy Pure Balance Potato and Turkey Dog Treats. After feeding him 3 small treats last night, he developed severe diarrhea that was full of blood. The packaging stated that it was corn, wheat and soy free but the food had to have been contaminated with wheat, dairy or egg for my dog to get so sick.

Please don't buy this food. I just found a clump of dried clump of dog food with maggots in it, sick to my stomach.

My breeder used Ol Roy's. When she came home she had diarrhea so I didn't want to aggravate it by changing foods. I'm mixed Ol Roy's dry food with canned Ol Roy's and part "Taste of the Wild." After a couple days on this diet and no longer on Mother's Milk I thought she had parvo. She was demonstrating the same symptoms as other post throwing up undigested food, being lethargic and diarrhea so bad that it was water. I took her to the vet and it has cleared up. But I would advise anyone not to use this food.

I bought a large bag of Ol Roy dry food for my dogs. I have their treats and only recently bought their canned food because my dogs (mainly my beagle) was having constipation problems. My beagle's stomach sunk in, wasn't going to the bathroom. That's when I bought the canned food and their maker on Gaines-Burgers. She began going to the bathroom, but her stomach is now bloated. Her stools smell like a dead body. I'm worried that I really should bring her to the vet, but I don't have the funds to take her. I found out after talking with several people I know, they all had issues with their pets because of Ol Roy.

I have an American Mastiff that my husband and I rescued 9 years ago from a very bad situation. We bought him Purina dog food at first and he would not gain any weight and kept refusing to eat. We went and tried other name brand dog food and he was not looking healthy and he was not active at all. We went and bought Ol Roy dog food and fed it to him and he started to become active and gained weight and we have kept him and our two chi-weenies and our pit mix on Ol Roy and they are perfectly healthy and very active. We have fed it also to many dogs that we have rescued and re-homed over the last 10 years.

I bought some OL' ROY HEALTHY MIX WEIGHT pet food and feed it to my dog and she vomited, so I thought she was just under the weather. So I got some can food and feed her and she was fine so I let a day go by and tried to feed her the OL’ ROY again and she vomited so this went on for several days. I feel so guilty I keep giving her that dog food. I took her to the vet and she said the dog food had made her so sick she had a stomach infection and had to be put on several medications... Thank God, I took her to the vet when I did .Walmart took the complaint and gave me my money back for the dog food. They were really nice at Walmart. Ronnie even called later the next day to see how my dog was. But he said someone from the OL’ ROY manufactory would be in touch with me within 10 days that was NOV.7. I haven't heard nothing.

I am going back to Kibble 'n Bits and taking dogs to the Vet!!! After feeding my two dogs OL' ROY, they begin eating grass like cows and started throwing up. The bag said compare to Purina Puppy Chow. Do not buy OL' ROY; it will make your dogs sick!!!

Our dog got very sick recently. We believe she had an ulcer, bloody stool, low red blood cell count. The only change in her diet were Ol' Roy biscuits we bought at Walmart. Threw away the biscuits, feed her hamburger and rice, and got a script for Carafate. She appears to be fine now but I would never get this brand of dog food again.

October 19, 2013, we purchased 50 pounds of Ol' Roy dog food at (red bag) Walmart in Athens, TX. After a week, our 7 dogs are vomiting the dog food. It isn't digested in the vomit. I haven't seen a recall of this dog food. Our dogs aren't eating anything but this dog food. I'm not happy that our dogs are sick.

Our dog died after eating Ol Roy dog food. Our dog was not only a pet but a well-trained coon hound. We got the food at our local Walmart not noticing that it had clumps (we still have a couple samples) in it until the next day. When we took the food back to Walmart, they said they had been getting a lot of complaints about it and returned our money and we got another brand dog food. But it was already too late. Our dog had trouble standing, he was breathing hard, his stomach was swollen and his gums were pale. Our dog weighed around 90-100 pounds and our little grandson played with him and he was so gentle with him yet he was a vicious hunting dog.

We recently bought the above-listed product for our three dogs and within hours, all three developed symptoms of salmonella. Whether contaminated or not, I don't know; however after reading the ingredients the product contains garlic powder and onion extract. Both of these ingredients are toxins to a dog's liver. Hours after stopping use of this product, the symptoms were gone. From here on, I will never use any product made by Mars Petcare and I will ALWAYS read the label first.

I bought this to save some money. Within the SAME week, my dog died. This was just 2-3 months ago. My dog was healthy, no other problems before feeding her this food. Within 1-2 days, we noticed she was acting different, she was not eating or anything. Her death was quick and immediate after changing to this food. After my dog's death, my daughter called me to the potty box that we happened to have just cleaned about the same time we got the food, there was NOTHING in it. PLEASE, IF you are considering changing to this food, DON'T (not unless you WANT your dog to die)!!!

About 5 days ago, we bought a bag of Ol' Roy, thinking that it was our best option until payday... We took our dogs out this morning and I noticed that my 7-month-old wasn't acting normal. His eyes were really slanted and bloodshot. We gave him some water and brought them inside to cool down. Since then he has thrown up 6 times and it's becoming more frequent. After reading all these reviews, I absolutely know what's going on. I'm doing everything I can to save him.

I had recently moved to Michigan, my other half has two dogs and I have two as well. We decided to go from name brand food to Ol' Roy (Walmart Brand) to save money since we are starting out. My Jack Russell had a stroke within three months of this change in diet, which in all honesty I never attributed to a change in his diet. All the dogs have been lethargic since the change in food. Last week we bought a new bag of food Ol' Roy Healthy Nutrition... For the past week, all the dogs have had diarrhea with blood in the stools. We offered our own mix of rice, meat, with eggs added and after three days it seemed to stop. Went to a brand name high end dog food that they tolerated dry very well, and thought the worse was over. Last night, we added Ol' Roy canned to the mix. I'm now back a square one with all four. I so wish I had made the connection earlier. Thank you all for reporting this and more importantly, we need to put a stop to this. Far too many of our four-footed family members have passed away.

Today my husband and I went to Walmart to buy dog food. With money tight, and 3 dogs, we bought a 50-lb bag of Ol Roy at a great price. I tried to look at the bag to see what the ingredients were but didn't see any. I decided to research the dog food online and after reading these comments, I AM HORRIFIED. I immediately called my husband and said "DO NOT FEED THIS TO OUR DOGS!!!! We are returning this and purchasing a better product today." To everyone that posts on here, please know I thank you for saving my dogs.

I bought Ol Roy dog food a few weeks ago for the first time in years. Within a week of buying it, our rottie mix was sick with diarrhea. I just thought it was her body adjusting to the food. Within a day from getting sick, she died. Exactly a week later, our rabbit dog died. We bought 2 bags of food and both dogs were fed from separate bags and are kept on separate properties. Neither one have had contact with each other. What I find funny is these 2 died and the chi we have that refused to eat this food is perfectly fine and was with the rottie mix all the time. So I'm starting to think like everyone else that it is the food and needs recalled.

After feeding my dog this a few times and she started head tremors almost seizures. After stopping Ol’ Roy rounds, my dog was back to normal.

I bought Ol' Roy 50lb Dog food on Wednesday, September 4th, 2013, from Walmart in Katy, TX. I have a Yellow Lab mix and a German Shepherd Mix, neither of them ever have issues switching dog food so I didn't think much of it when I bought this bag. I gave them each 2 bowls on Wednesday. On Thursday, they both had HORRIBLE diarrhea. I figured they were just adjusting to the food which never happens but I would give them a day to get rehydrated and try again. Friday morning, I go to let my Lab out and there is a mix of Diarrhea and bright RED BLOOD all over his kennel. BLOOD!!!! I freak out and look up reviews on the dog food right away because that is the only thing that has changed in the past week.

I bought a bag of Ol' Roy Dog Food (the kind that is comparable to Gravy Train) last week from Walmart. Since then, my 12-year-old Shepherd has been having violent episodes of diarrhea and she's crying all of the time. I noticed (a little more than a few days ago) that she has been wanting to go outside to relieve herself more frequently than normal and I finally got a look at it when she accidentally defecated in the house and found that there is blood in her stool. The only thing that has changed in her diet is that I started feeding her the Ol' Roy Dog Food that I bought last week. It pains me to see my dog suffer and I am completely HORRIFIED by all of the posts on this site... I'm praying that my dog makes it through this... She's been a member of my family for 12 years!!!

Three days ago I purchased a 40-lb. bag of Ol' Roy Gravy Mix for my animals... I have 3 dogs together because they get along, and two together separately, because they get along. On the first day of opening the new bag, dogs (three together)... started throwing up... The others (2 together) started diarrhea... 5 are Bull Mastiff Shar-Pei mix. The other is a Chihuahua. Day two, the 3 dogs together stopped eating completely. The 2 dogs together still had diarrhea, one now pooping out BLOOD, LITERALLY BLOOD!! I go outside today, to feed the three together, and noticed the boy tucked in a corner... DEAD.... I have examined the bag, no mold or rot but in the middle of the bag, it was moist. I have been looking online for recalls and am surprised to see all these reviews and yet no recall has been done... What do I do? I now have 4 sick dogs, and they each belong to one of my kids.... This is a disgrace!!!!!!!!

First time ever I fed Ol' Roy, it made my older dog bad sick, but she pulled through. Then the 2 smaller Chis died within 3 days of eating it. When the third got sick, I rushed her to the vet and HE told me it was what I fed her.! I fed all 3 the same food. The second one died on the front seat of my car on the way to the vet. I have called WALMART and have been passed around to several places! The last was the Simmons Co. (856-662-7412), the maker of the food. They make it for Walmart exclusively and is sold by Walmart. CALL the Troubleshooter on Channel 11 and tell Diane Wilson what your experience was! The more we yell and the louder we get, someone will listen!!! I told them I want money to be paid back to everyone who lost their pets and the vet bills!

My shepherd's main diet is Natural Balance brand of dry dog food, which is one of the top brands on the market, no grain, etc. etc. I typically add a small amount of canned to her dry diet. Someone else shopped for me this past week and brought me the wrong brand, which was Ol Roy's. I decided to add it to her food anyway, knowing it was only for a few days till the supply I was brought would be gone. What a huge mistake!! Within a few hours she wasn't acting normal at all, very hyper and breathing hard but I had not made the connection to the food yet. By the 3rd day, she was vomiting, had diarrhea, was rapidly losing weight and her fur was falling out in chunks all over the house! That's when I made the connection!

I fed my poodle Science Diet dog food her whole life. She was a very loved and pampered member of my family. She was 8 years old and never sick a day of her life. I had to go to Texas and take care of my Mom who was very ill and left my poodle for my husband to take care of. He purchased Ol' Roy dog food for her and she became ill with peeing everywhere and throwing up and diarrhea. When I came home from Texas, she was in the hospital and I did not recognize her. She was very thin. Over a thousand dollars later, she was dead and I am completely convinced it was from the dog food. The sad part was my husband just did not understand as I did the importance of quality dog food. I never would have bought Ol' Roy. They should not be allowed to continue as a company!

I had bought Ol' Roy for years because my dogs' favorite was Krunchy Bites and Bones. One day I brought home a bag and noticed it was more colorful than it used to be. It gave ALL (ten of them) of my dogs diarrhea and they lost weight and became dehydrated so quickly. I actually returned the unused amount and got a refund. I bought some food at my local farm supply store and it cleared right up. I thought it may have been a coincidence and a couple of years later, I was already at Walmart and bought a small bag of the Ol' Roy Dinner Rounds (they love them as treats). Same scenario. They all got diarrhea again. I don't know what new ingredients they have been putting in their food but it is dangerous and dehydrates them quickly. I will never buy Ol' Roy food again.

I have been a loyal customer of Walmart for some time. Have been purchasing Ol' Roy Complete Nutrition 50-lb bag for my Chocolate Labrador Retriever. On my most recent purchase, I found a different style and color of the packaged product. What used to be multicolored RED food bits, now contained smaller BROWN bits. Less than two weeks of regular feeding, my dog became ill and started to avoid eating just the Ol' Roy food. He's eating and drinking any thing else I give him.

My dog just turned 2 years old on 7/17/2013 and was admitted to hospital on 7/29/2013 with kidney failure. He was on IV for 10 days and his BUN was up to 175 before it began to come down. We immediately stopped feeding him all Ol' Roy dog food and he is on a special diet. We are still not sure if he is going to make it or if he has suffered permanent damage. I wish I had understood the importance of diet before this and will NEVER feed my dog Ol' Roy again.

We have 3 babies (dogs), now & then we try the Ol'Roy Dog Food. Approximately 2 & 1/2 weeks ago, my husband bought the 40lbs of Ol'Roy dog food, which is described above. Last night I was getting them some food, which more than half the bag was gone. This was Sunday night @7:00p.m. on 08/18/2013. I noticed on the side of the bag close to the bottom, black color inside bag & some clumps of dog food stuck together and had a little green tint but mostly black. I put the dog food in my hand, it was mold. Also took a while to get it off of my hands. This is our first time ever seeing this in any type dog food. That was scary, sure don't want my boys sick and threw the rest of food out. For now on, I definitely will be checking the dog food more thoroughly!

Ol Roy Dog Biscuits, Best by R1/03/JUL/2014, 4:19 - My dog became sick (diarrhea) after being given Ol’ Roy Dog Biscuits. A dog we will taking care of also became ill.

I bought a new bag of food on 7/15/13. My dog ate the food for 1 or 2 days and then stopped eating. He began losing weight very quickly. I tried other foods but he would only eat a little and continued to lose weight. When he started vomiting on 8./5, I took him to the vet and he was diagnosed with kidney failure, heart worms and other intestinal worms. After 2 days of IV fluids and numerous IV drugs, I took him home and he died 48 hours later. He was unable to breathe and I was constantly with him to reposition or prop him up. He was a sweet dog and only 6 yrs old. I wish I had found this site sooner.

I have two little puppies that are two months old. They are full of energy, and last night, they were just staying in their little doggy bed with no energy whatsoever. In the morning, I went to feed them and when I saw their doggy pee pad, there was diarrhea and blood everywhere! I was freaking out because they are my little babies. I didn't know what it could be and the only thing I can think of is their dog food because I don't give them treats.

I purchased Ol Roy dry dog food on 7/20/13. After the dog ate 1/2 bowl, it would not eat any more. Was throwing up and died on 7/25/13.

I went to feed my dog this morning and as I poured from the bag of Ol' Roy Pure Balance dog food a dead mouse fell into the dog dish. The mouse appeared to have been dead for quite some time and was almost petrified! Absolutely mortified that I have been feeding my dog this food for some time and to find this at the bottom! Do not buy PURE BALANCE DOG FOOD!!!

My dog passed away soon after starting her on Ol Roy canned food. We took her to the vet and they said it was something she ate. So sad about this. She was only a year old and a very much a part of our family. I want to get it tested but how? She had bloody poop and vomit.

We had started using Ol' Roy when money was tight. We have lost 2 dogs this week. Bloody stools, weight loss. We had thought that maybe they had gotten into something in the yard and checked and found nothing. When I checked this site and saw the same thing from everyone else... I was shocked and so darn mad. We ran and paid more money and bought better dog food and when we fed the other dogs, they sat there and ate like they were starving. Walmart and Ol' Roy should feel so darn low! Shame, shame on you both!!!

I would buy my Jack Russell Ol' Roy dog treats, the ones that look like Milk-Bones. She would have a seizure about once a week. When I finally made the connection I immediately stopped giving them to her and the seizures stopped. I'm wondering what was in the treats to cause a seizure. I'm also wondering how many dogs have died from whatever is in them. I will NEVER buy anything by Ol' Roy again. I am putting this out there to make people aware of how dangerous Ol' Roy brand products are for their pets.

After using expensive soft dog treats for years, a little over a month ago, I decided to switch to a harder dog biscuit in order to help my 3 dogs' teeth stay cleaner. So I went to Walmart & bought a 7.5 lb box of Ol' Roy Multi flavor dog biscuits for small/medium dogs. I divided the box of biscuits into 3 plastic containers to keep them fresher. Yesterday, I got to the bottom of the 1st plastic container & saw these little brown specks. Looking closer, I realized they were live bugs, so I brought out the other 2 containers. I dumped them out on the counter & both of them also had little brown bugs crawling around inside. It seems that they are inside of the biscuits, not on the biscuits. I freaked out.

This happened in 2010. It's hard to write. I was asked to care for a friend's 12-year-old family dog while she attended to her father who had cancer. The dog stayed at her home, indoors. I let him out 3 times a day. He smelled awful. He was scratching himself raw, refused to eat, and was mostly unresponsive toward me. He acted very strange when he got up to walk. It looked like he was having a hard time balancing and he kept holding his head at an odd angle. I noticed the Ol' Roy dog food bag in the garage and did some online investigating and discovered some very negative reviews. I contacted the owner about his condition and told her the bad food reviews. She said she would take him to a vet when she returned and to stop feeding Ol' Roy. Unfortunately, her father died and she had to stay longer than expected.

I keep seeing on the internet Ol' Roy Dog Treats have been recalled. I have looked and cannot find which ones are recalled. I give these to my babies and would really like to know which ones it is. Somebody, PLEASE help.

I bought a box of Ol’ Roy Dog Biscuits. I opened the box and flies flew out of the box. I took it back to Walmart and got another box. I opened it, no flies, but it was full of worms. I told the manager and asst. manager and pet manager that there were flies all back on the shelves in the dog treat section!!! They still have all that crap on the shelves. Thank goodness I never fed my 3 dogs any of that mess!!! They need to shut Ol’ Roy down!!!

Ever since I bought a 50-lb. bag of dog food, my 9 dogs have done nothing but poop all over the place. And then I googled Ol' Roy dog food and find out there is a recall on the dog food I bought. This really sucks. Now I've got to find more money so I can go get a different kind of dog food.

We purchased Ol Roy for our dog, which she ate. At 11pm my husband said he could hear her moving in her cage so he got up to take her out and found her covered in hives. I have given her Benadryl and taken the food back to Walmart. Everything I see on the internet says it takes 24 hours to go away. If they aren't gone by morning, I guess we will be at the vet. Very disappointed after reading all the comments. I will never buy this brand again!

We have used Ol' Roy dog food for many years. We have had problems occasionally with moldy food and bad bags. This has been few and far between and the times it has happened, the company has easily replaced/reimbursed us with no problem. This time, the food does not "appear" to be bad with mold or out of date issues... but something is wrong with it. Last week, when we opened a new bag and fed it to our dog, he began having uncontrolled diarrhea and vomited all over the house. We promptly took him off the food and put him on a rice/baby food diet to heal his stomach.

We have been feeding our Bull Terrier and Jack Russell Ol Roy-Pure Balanced for a few months now. Three days ago, our BT stopped eating and became very lethargic. I ended up taking her to the vet yesterday (6/14/13); $639 later, she has been diagnosed with acute kidney failure. She did improve with the vet's treatments and came home today, but still not herself. After reading these posts, I wonder if it's the dog food? Our Jack Russell seems okay so far. Our BT DID NOT have any vomiting or diarrhea, just stopped eating and very lethargic. How do we go about getting the food tested and filing a complaint as some have posted?

I have been feeding my dogs Ol Roy dog food for about 10 years. Recently, my Red Heeler, who is a very active and energetic dog, has been refusing to eat his food. He has become lethargic, is staggering and has lost body weight. Last night (June 2013), he puddled and was lying in his urine on the kitchen floor. He has slept indoors since the above symptoms began so I could observe him. I always purchased the large bags in multiples when on sale at Wal-Mart and dispense them as needed in easy to access plastic barrels. This is a farm, and he is a well-trained working herding dog with my purebred livestock. Therefore, I am familiar with many aspects of animal nutrition, pharmaceuticals, vet care, etc. also having a University background in bio-science.

I had been feeding my dog Little Champions wet food in packets since I got her for about 6 months. She was very healthy and frisky, but then I started researching dog foods and realized this really wasn't a very good food for her. Last night on my way home, I figured I'd pick up a more premium food for her and grabbed some cans of Pure Balance canned food for her made by Ol Roy, after reading the ingredient list and being satisfied. She seemed to really like it to my relief and ate all of the half can I put out for her.

We switched our dogs to Ol Roy because Walmart was sold out of our usual brand. One dog had already died, and one of them is very sick. After reading this, I'm sure that crappy food is what killed our dog. I called the number on the bag. The guy I spoke with was very polite and apologetic, and said he would make sure we got our money back. Got a follow-up call, and they were rude as hell; said I can send the food in, but she doesn't know what they would test it for because there is nothing wrong with their food and they've had no complaints. But they will be glad to give me a gift card to refund my money. I filed a report with the FDA as well. Can't believe they're letting innocent animals die and hiding it, and going to lie to me when I know other people have complained, too.

About a month ago, my husband and I purchased a bag of Ol Roy dog food from Walmart. Our dog, two days later, started vomiting and having diarrhea 7-10 times a day!!! His vomit smelled of stool, and the poor guy couldn't even make it to the bathroom outside; he was so lethargic. I kept him on the food, thinking he got into something, but it just continued. We fed our little dog a different food, but she got into his bowl and that night was vomiting and having incontinence with diarrhea. I believe it is the dog food, and something has to be done about it!!! We bought our dog some new food, and he is completely back to normal.

We have 3 dogs. We switched them to Ol' Roy dog food because Walmart didn't have what we normally buy. One of our dogs died Friday after getting extremely sick, vomiting and diarrhea. He was very lethargic, lost control of his bowel and bladder. We have another dog, sick and dying. The vet won't treat him because he said it will just cost us a lot of money and he doesn't believe there's any chance of saving him. The only one we have left seems to be acting okay; we switched his food in hopes to keep him from getting whatever killed our other dog. I believe the only reason he is still okay is because he comes with me to my mom's and eats her dogs' food every day. I thought our dogs had just gotten into something they shouldn't have but after reading all this, I am sure it was the food because they were perfectly healthy before we switched dog food. I, never in my life, thought people would be so greedy to let innocent animals die.

My seven-year-old registered American Water Spaniel became very sick, lethargic, and died of complete organ failure. My three other dogs were getting sick also but we switched them to another brand of dog food and they are now fine. We are devastated at the loss of our beloved dog.

Our 3 dogs and they are big dogs are raised on Purina Dog Chow and we ran out of dog food so our son went to store and got a 50-lb. bag of Ol' Roy Complete Nutrition because they were out of the Purina. I fed them once. The next day, they were puking, had diarrhea, just lying around and this was not normal for them. I went on the internet and found out this crap about Ol' Roy which should be out of business for selling this garbage. I cannot believe the ingredients in this dog food either if that's what you want to call them.

I complained to the store which I bought the bag of Ol' Roy complete nutrition 55 pound bag from today. And they refused to pull the bags from the shelves and actually treated me as if they were going to throw me out of the store for telling other people about this product and how it killed my dog. I was very upset at the store’s blatant refusal to listen and their comments that Ol' Roy is a company brand owned by Walmart and perfectly safe. This stuff is the one thing that I fed my dogs differently. And right after I fed them, it got them sick, and my Shih Tzu/poodles became lethargic and began vomiting white phlegm and having very liquid stool. I quit feeding them this junk because I was not sure but suspected the food of being the cause.

A few months ago, we started feeding our 7-year-old lab Ol Roy complete Nutrition. He gained a lot of weight, but still seemed fine. A few weeks ago, he was weak and didn't want to play or run like he normally does. He seemed to have had a stroke and/or seizure. This morning (May 7), he collapsed and died. Seven years old. Research what you are feeding your dog. Educate yourselves. Don't let this happen to you. It's completely horrific and 100% avoidable.

I bought on May 6th at Walmart a large bag of the Grilled Strips. It was late afternoon and gave my Yorkie Poodle about 4 strips, all total. She was fine when she went to bed, but this morning she was shaking uncontrollable and confused. I am positive that this dog food has poisoned her system and getting ready to call my vets. I was shocked to see what was said about this company online. Also informing Walmart as well. Date on package is 10-10-14 3101TP220528.

My daughter just went to feed the dogs and there in the cup was a desiccated rat's head with kibble stuck to it. The fangs featuring very prominently.

Two days ago I bought a bag of 'Ol Roy Pure Balance chicken and brown rice dog food. I was surprised that the ingredients list actually looked good. My mini schnauzer wouldn't eat any, but he's often very picky with his food. So, I bought a couple packets of 'Ol Roy chunks and mixed one in. My dog ate it all up. He seemed fine but had a wet stool later on. I just thought it was due to the moisture in the wet packet. Then yesterday I put just a little bit of a new packet of 'Ol Roy chunks and mixed the 'Ol Roy Pure Balance with it. He reluctantly ate half of it. Since last night to now, he has had several loose bowels and has vomited 2 times. He has never responded this way to any other food. I don't know if it's the wet chunks in the packet or the dry or both, but it's all 'Ol Roy. This morning I just gave him a small amount of the dry, but he just hurriedly left it all there in the bowl and will have nothing to do with it. He seems to have food poisoning symptoms. I won't be buying this again and I feel it's a dangerous product. I got this dog food at the Walmart in East Gadsden, AL. So, buyers beware.

After switching from Purina, I bought Ol Roy Complete Nutrition for my dog. Now, he's pissing blood (kidney stones). My dog looks like he's in pain. Thanks to Ol Roy. Stay away from this brand and in fact, shut this company down. They are killing dogs. Anti dog! This product will kill your dog. ** you, Ol Roy ** you.

Just last weekend, we went to Wal-Mart to purchase our normal household supplies. Since we were there, we bought the Ol Roy Dog Treats. We got the box with the Corgi on it since we have a Corgi. Since then, our Corgi has been getting sick outside multiple times during the day and night. He has bad diarrhea. It's so hard to watch your little baby outside going 4 and 5 times at once and then running outside in 5 more minutes. I don't know what's in these treats but I will remember never to buy them again. After reading the reviews, I should have checked into them first before purchasing any project from this company. I feel very bad for all the people who have pets that died from eating this. They need to take this stuff off the market and do it now!

I purchased a box on a Thursday and fed this to my Fox Terrier/Jack Russel mix on Friday and Saturday. By Sunday, I could tell she wasn't feeling herself. On Monday, when I came home from work, she had peed in the house (which she never does) and was vomiting. She would also pee in her sleep. I took her to the vet on Tuesday, and they did blood work. They told me she probably ate something she shouldn't have and the peeing was just incontinence. I purchased a different dog food and within 2 day, she was back to her old self again. I think from reading all the reviews about this dog food, I feel lucky that she is still alive and looks like her kidneys have healed. It’s been 2 nights without a wet bed. Unfortunately, this $6 box of dog food has cost me $300 in bills. I’m just wondering why it is still on the market with so many issues.

We rescued a dog and took him to the vet. They did several tests on him: heartworm test, allergies, intestines, lungs, heart; everything checked normal and he was declared in good health. However, he would not eat the IMAS dog food or several others. So, while in Wal-Mart getting bird food and water, I noticed the O'Roy healthy meals. I thought it might be okay as it states chicken, carrots, peas, and chicken broth as ingredients. We gave it a chance and gave him one helping, but he only ate half; not much.

I started feeding this to my lab last summer. She suddenly started throwing up every time she ate; she lost 30 lbs. and ended up in acute kidney failure. I stopped feeding her Ol’ Roy dog food and started her on meat only. She is slowly making a comeback. Why isn't this food being recalled or tested? My lab is 11 years old and has never had any health problems until I feed her Ol’ Roy dog food and treats. I can promise you I will never feed this to her again.

My 7-year-old rat terrier/Jack Russell mix was in perfect health and suddenly started having seizures. I took her to the vet and they gave her medications for the seizures. She still continued to have seizures, developed incontinence and died within 2 weeks on 3-15-13. Today, my friend's 4-year-old lab suddenly developed seizures and vomiting. They were both being fed the same food and her vet told her it was the food causing the problems. I have read all the other complaints and am convinced that the food poisoned her to death. Why is no one doing anything to stop this? I just wish I would have known before she died, maybe I could have saved her.

We feed our dogs Ol Roy Complete Nutrition 50lb bag when finances dictate. We lost our Shih Tzu 2 years ago and didn't understand why she suddenly started vomiting, having loose stool, and urinating blood. She died. We thought she had come into contact with a wild animal or something. My Neapolitan Mastiff suddenly (4 days ago) became lethargic and refused to eat. I thought maybe an upset stomach and tried hand feeding her table food; my baby as greedy as she was spit out table food! She would only take bottled water. I thought she would get over it in a day or so. She died on day 3!

If I could give negative star numbers, I would! I had fed my 2 dogs Ol' Roy Complete Nutrition dog food in the red bag from Walmart for years. Over time, my older dog, a Boxer, began constantly leaking urine and having accidents in the house. We thought it odd as she had been a perfectly well behaved dog for several years before but stupidly did nothing to further check into this. These last few months, the Boxer lost extreme amounts of weight. She went from 70 lbs to just 48 lbs. We tried adding Ol' Roy canned food to her diet just to get her to eat something. She also was having diarrhea and drinking tons of water. The urine leakage became constant, leaving a trail everywhere she went and her bedding was soaked all the time.

My Shih Tzu was raised on Ol' Roy Kibbles, Chunks and Chews, but always hated the red and brown pieces. Well about 3 weeks ago, our baby girl (Shih Tzu) was throwing up and passing blood through her rectum. She had been eating nothing but the dog food. I hate to say our baby passed away and the vet told us that he saw nothing wrong with her, only diarrhea in the intestinal tract that he could see on the x-ray. We still have the dog food and our outside dog that will eat anything, still won't touch it. I will have it tested, but I wanted to give people a head's up!

I have been purchasing Ol' Roy Kibbles, Chunks & Chews Savory Beef & Chicken Flavors Dog Food for about 1 year due to my budget. My dogs seem to love the flavor of the food so I kept purchasing it. About 2 weeks ago, my Lab mix had the worst diarrhea with blood in it (he also would cry while trying to go) for 24 hours. I took him to the vet and had his stool tested for parasites (I thought he picked up something from a dog park). The vet called me back the next day saying all test came back negative. He bounced back and didn't have many issues.

I started giving my dog Ol' Roy (complete nutrition) 4 years ago. A few months after, he had his first seizure. From then on, he had seizures every 2 months. The vet said this was normal for poodles after age 3. One year ago, I decided to switch to a different Ol' Roy mix (crunchy bites & bones) because when he vomited, the red dye would stain the rug. He hasn't had a seizure since. I am concerned about the possible bad effects of the current Ol' Roy brand he's eating, but so far he seems okay.

I lost my two babies. I purchased them a bag of Ol' Roy Kibbles, Chunks and Chews on Friday, and by Thursday they were both dead. One was a black lab and the other a beagle. We found the beagle still alive and rushed her to the vet. She was in kidney failure and having seizures. I did a complaint with the FDA and also Ol' Roy. Ol' Roy tested the food and said it was fine. They will not send me the results of the test; they just said everything was within limits. The FDA needs more complaints for them to follow up on it.

I have been using Ol' Roy Dog Biscuits off and on for training and rewards for my Boxer and Puggle with no incidents. My Boxer is getting older now. She is 8 years old and very grey but still very active. Last night, my son was up late and heard scratching in her kennel. When he came downstairs, he found her lying in her cage seizing, foaming at the mouth. That is the first seizure she has had. I started researching the cause and found your site. She has been having loose stools lately, but I just wrote that off because she tends to have a sensitive stomach. Now that I have read all the stories on this site, I will definitely dispose of the Ol' Roy Biscuits and never purchase them again. I hope that my Boxer will not have another seizure. I am also going to contact my vet and let them know of the link I have found.

We have never used any other product by Ol’ Roy except these biscuits, and we have never seen an adverse reaction. Lately, we have been finding the tiny bugs all over the house, which is strange in Ohio in winter. Today, I went to get him a treat and the container is full of them. It looks like they ate their way out of the biscuits because they are full of holes. They went into the trash right away. I will find something better for my baby to have for a treat, and it won't be from Wal-mart.

I took my dog (1.5 year old) to the groomers one day and decided to pass the time at Walmart. I thought I'd get my dog a treat for suffering through a bath and came upon Ol Roy gravy mix. It was 95 cents and someone had told me it was one of the better brands to buy that wouldn't hurt my wallet. So when I got home with my dog, I opened the pack and mixed it with her regular dry food. She ate it all and the day went on like normal until about 9 at night. Every hour until about 3am, we were running outside because of her diarrhea. She would then go inside and shake and cry. Sadly, the diarrhea didn't end for 24 hours. She wouldn't eat or drink. It scared me to death. I called the number on the bag, but they never answered or called me back. I will never buy or recommend this to anyone.

Okay, my dog of 13 years ate some Ol Roy can dog food. Needless to say, kidney and liver and almost $1,000.00 later, my dog is still alive. Thank God. But no more of this. Caution! My poor baby! I love my dog too much!

We didn't realize how seriously sick our dog was until reading all of the posts. I wanted to share how we nursed our sick dog back to health. Our Golden Retriever started having seizures off and on about a year ago. When we can't get her normal brand or when our budget was tight, we bought Ol Roy dog food. About 5 days ago, our dog got really sick in the middle of the night and puked all over the house. She puked again the next night and the next morning was lethargic. I put her on a 24 fast to let her stomach rest. With that 24 hours, she had her 5th seizure. This one was the worst one she had. Her first meal after her fast was rice, pumpkin and chicken broth and put it through the blender. She ate it slowly. We fed her that 3 times the first day. The second day, I added cooked chicken and continued feeding her 3 times a day for the next 2 days.

I had my dog on Ol' Roy a few months ago. She had a stroke and it took a couple of weeks until she was normal again. We didn't think anything of the food possibly being the culprit. Once that bag was finished, we purchased the same brand we had been using before we had switched to Ol' Roy. We had run out of that. While I was shopping at Walmart yesterday, I just grabbed another bag of Ol' Roy to save myself another stop to get our usual brand since I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old I have to get in and out of the car.

Ole Roy Pure Balance - My dogs have lost weight and continue with diarrhea. Unless you look close at the bag, you don't realize that Ol’ Roy makes this. I am having my dogs tested for damage.

My mother-in-law purchased a bag of the Ol' Roy Bacon Treats (not exactly sure the exact name because she has already disposed of the treats) a few days ago. Our one dog would not eat the treats at all - thank goodness. Our 2nd Husky, however, was eating them before going to bed in the evening as a treat after dinner. He would awake in the middle of the night a couple of hours after eating the treats to vomit (this happened 2 nights). I am a veterinary technician, so we went through everything he had been getting and found that these were the only changes to his diet. As soon as we stopped giving the treats, the vomiting discontinued. As we did not have the treats tested, I cannot say without a doubt that is what was causing the vomiting but I am pretty confident. I would advise other owners who are giving their dogs these treats to monitor their pets very carefully.

Our Great Dane lab mix dog has been eating Ol’ Roy dog food for three weeks now. We have been noticing him getting unusually skinny and he has had diarrhea and just tonight, had been vomiting. I just saw everyone’s review on the food and immediately stopped him from eating it. I hope we aren't too late. We are going out to buy him real food in the morning. I felt so bad. I gave him some of our leftover dinner - rice and steak. Anything else we can do to help? We already lost one child this week due to a miscarriage we don't want to lose another. Wal-Mart needs to be sued for selling this food.

I think I am one of the lucky and observant dog owners. I tried the new no-grain dog food by this company but I was mixing it with the better, more expensive food to transition my dog. I noticed after a couple of days, my dog’s stomach was making a lot of noise and he was lying around. I told my husband that I thought the dog food was making him sick and not to feed it to him. I got him new food, Purina One, and he is back to his old self again. We threw the other stuff out. Now I am reading all of this. *

I bought the Ol Roy Bark and Bacon dog treats for my dogs on an early Thursday morning. The dogs were fine on Thursday and Friday. My one dog ate more of the treats than the other. By Saturday morning, he was throwing up. I didn't know what was wrong. By Sunday, he was very lethargic and would not eat. I had to pick him up to go to the bathroom. By Monday, he could not lift his head. I rushed him to the vet where they did numerous tests. They ruled out everything else and discovered he had kidney infection. All his tests came back negative and he was perfectly healthy except for this kidney infection. I went online about these treats and see that many people had problems with this Ol Roy dog food. I believe this is what made him sick. Luckily, he did not go into kidney failure and the doctor believes he will survive.

I believe Ol Roy dog food just killed 2 of my dogs. I bought a 50lb bag of the complete nutrition from the Highland, CA Walmart on Sunday. I had it to my dogs for the first time last night and now they are both dead. My 4-year-old Akita ate all of her food and she passed when I got home today. My 13-year-old lab didn't eat much and he was clinging to life. They are both now gone. No poison or unusual things in the yard. I have the bag and will be getting it tested. Please don't buy this product and I hope Ol Roy and Walmart get their lawyers ready!

I bought Ol' Roy Soft & Moist & fed it to all 3 of my dogs & every one of them was vomiting it up. I will never buy Ol' Roy again.

I bought Ol Roy 50lb bags of dog food. So far, it has killed 2 of our dogs (before we figured out what was killing them). Now we have a third dog who has been sick and is dying. This is outrageous. They aren't just dogs, but our family members. I was there when the mom gave birth and I helped nurse them when she didn't have enough milk. Now my babies are dead and dying, just like all the others on here (after reading on here and seeing someone else had a cat died). My cat has been sickly for a while. I just thought she had something, but I have taken her off the Walmart food and she is somewhat better I hope.

I found maggots in my cabinets. Luckily, they were dead and I couldn't figure out where they were coming from, so we did the bleaching and "Lysoling" and scrubbing out of one cabinet where I found them at. This was last month. Today, I went to give my dog a treat and the whole bag was covered with maggots. Well... I found the source of the problems! Now I have to throw everything out as I have 4 birds here and a cat. I am so sick to my stomach. I will be filing a bbb.org claim, and, yes, please let me know about the lawsuit too. I normally do not feed this stuff. I was given this treat sealed. I am so disgusted. OMG! All open food now has to be tossed! Thanks, Walmart!

Ol’ Roy killed two of my dogs. I am very angry. It was just like the rest of the reviews. They died very quickly and with the same symptoms. Please contact me at ** if you would like to make a complaint. I would like to file a lawsuit.

I bought the red bag of Ol Roy. All 3 of my dogs now have diarrhea. I hope they don't die. I will never buy this or any dry dog food ever again. Fresh cooked meals from now on. It's sad to read of all the dogs that died.

I lost 5 dogs and 1 cat! My husband brought home a bag of Ol Roy complete nutrition, in the red bag (UPC 05388 02287). Within a week, my fur babies started dying! Symptoms were thick foam vomit; purple skin color on belly; body/legs got stiff; at first, extreme thirst; blood for stool and then watery blood leaked out without them even realizing it. They got to where they wouldn't even blink! Vet care did nothing! With the cat, I went to pick her up and she was as if she was paralyzed all over. No blinking. Right before death, they appeared to have a seizure. To say I am devastated is an understatement. I want this crap taken off the shelves now!

I just recently went to Wal-Mart to buy Purina Dog Chow, and they were out. So, I looked at the 50lb bag Of Old Roy Complete Nutrition that said compare to Purina Dog Chow and bought it. I fed her (my 2-year-old German Shepherd) the Old Roy, and she ate it very good for a few days, and all seemed to be well. I went into her kennel on a Wednesday, and she had vomited all of the food up. I brought her in the house. She then drank massive amounts of water (2 or more gallons a day). The vomiting continued, and she would not eat anything.

We got Ol' Roy dog food for my dog because our local Wal-Mart was out of the standard Purina. He immediately started vomiting and having diarrhea. We thought it was just a result of switching food and switched back, but within a week, he was dead. The vet said it was kidney failure, but he was in perfect health not [more than] 3 months ago at his last checkup. Has anyone heard of any type of recall or recent lawsuit? I heard there were some issues with Ol' Roy a few years ago that caused pet deaths.

So I went to the store last night and bought my puppy some of this Ol' Roy Gourmet food for dogs. Since my puppy ate it, she has been throwing up. And now, she will not eat or drink anything. She is not playful and is very lethargic. I have only had my puppy 3 weeks. I am very scared for her that she may die after reading all the complaints on here.

I have been feeding my dogs Ol' Roy for years and have not had a problem till now. One of my dogs had a mishap with fire ants last week, but was pulling through that quite nicely. I usually go through a 50-pound bag of food a week with my 8 dogs and noticed that the current bag wasn't moving that fast. The dog that was attacked by ants started acting lethargic and the other dogs weren't eating. First, I thought he got into ants again or something. I was babying him and treating him with Benadryl. He was acting like most of the other dogs I have been reading about here. He passed away last night, and now all of the other dogs have diarrhea and are vomiting. I have immediately pulled up any food that was down (this is not a usual at my house) and cleaned the bowls. It must be the food. No recalls have been made yet, and after reading all this, I have no idea why. I work for the company that markets this food, and I will be contacting as high up as I can to get them to look into this. I am so distraught at the moment.

My Chihuahua was 10 years old and seemed to be having trouble eating hard dog food. Other than that, she was very active and seemed to be quite healthy. I decided to buy her Ol' Roy Soft & Moist dog food, and she seemed to like it and ate with no problems. The next day after work, my 5 year old son and I found her dead in the backyard. Of course, we were hysterical and very distraught. After reading these complaints, could it have been the dog food? What steps do I take now? RIP sweet Jinksie.

Ol Roy Healthy Mix Original (dry) - I have been buying Ol Roy for awhile and never run into any issues, until this last bag. I am having the same problems as most of these other folks. My dog became lethargic and got severe diarrhea and vomiting. Now she won't touch the food. The problems stopped the day after she began refusing the food, so I'm pretty sure there's a correlation there. She'll eat other food just fine and is feeling much better, now that she's off the Ol Roy.

I have bought this product for my dog, and she was ill right after eating it. She vomited several times, had diarrhea, and then was lethargic most of the day. I will make a complaint at the local Walmart where I bought it!

Recently, I purchased 2 boxes of Ol’ Roy soft & moist, beef & cheese flavor, 12 individual servings pouches. Well, when I opened the boxes, they only had 8 pouches in the sealed boxes. Both boxes were that way, which is really unusual! I was very disappointed. I purchased both boxes from walmart.com last week. (UPC codes: 0 78742 22704 7, Best by Aug 2013, 22216002 1442L01) The codes on the boxes were the same. Thank you.

Ol Roy High Performance - I have fed this dog food for years. I have hunting dogs; Staghounds, Jagdterriers, and Patterdale Terriers. I noticed the last bag I bought (a 20 pound bag) was darker in color than usual, but fed it thinking it was just me since I have just been in an auto accident and have been getting over a concussion. Our store in Siloam Springs was out of the 50 lb. bags so I grabbed a 20 lb. bag to get me through the night. The next bag was lighter in color and was the usual 50 lb. bag I have always bought.

I have fed my dog, Tank, Ol' Roy Soft and Moist Beef and Cheese flavor every evening for years. On Thursday, September 13, 2012 at about 6 pm, I bought 2 boxes of the food. I came home and fed him around 7 pm. His one packet of food for dinner and one hour later, he had a massive seizure and died. He was 9 years old and had previously (2 weeks) received a clean bill of health from his vet. This was a brand new box of food and had never been opened. I am worried that this food needs to be recalled because I would hate for any other dog owner to experience a traumatic experience like this if there was a problem with the food.

I have fed our dogs the high performance version of Ol Roy dog food (Wal-Mart's own brand) for several years. We are unfortunately on a very tight budget, and of the cheaper brands, this one seemed to have somewhat better ingredients and protein levels. We purchased a large bag in the beginning of August, as usual. For a few days, I didn't really realize how "off" the dogs were until I observed (stepped in, more like) ample evidence that all three of them had the squirts. They are up to date on their shots, and they didn't seem otherwise ill, if kind of low-energy. I looked around to see if they could have found something toxic to eat, but I found no such issues inside or out.

My husband had bought a bag of Ol Roy Pet Foods, the 40 pound bag of meaty chunks and gravy back in February for my older dog. She had passed away. We didn't think it was the dog food until today, my 1 year old pom had eaten the food since we had run out of his regular dog food. Same symptoms as my older dog - vomiting, not eating or drinking and could hardly stand well. Needless to say, my little 1 year old pom died today. Something has to be done. These two pets were our family and know they are no longer with us, but Ol Roy is still out on the shelves. Action has to be taken.

I bought my puppy Ol Roy because I figured a bigger bag for a better price was a win-win situation. So, I took him off of Purina Puppy Chow and bought the red bag of Ol Roy. I fed it to him when we first bought it and instantly, his entire mood changed. He became less respondent, started having the runs, his bladder had weakened, and he started throwing up all the water he had consumed. I didn't feed him for three days. Though it sounds harsh, it's the only way his stomach would flush out naturally. I put him back on Purina and he was much better and more active. He would let us know when he had to go outside and the runs stop.

Wrong size biscuit - I purchase a 4.7lbs box ($4.78 + tax) of Ol' Roy multi-flavored biscuits (small/medium) from the Walmart store. The actual size of the biscuits are smaller than what is pictured as the actual size. My K-9 crew (4 Shih Tzu, 2 male and 2 female) love the biscuits.

I switched to the Ol’ Roy dog food (the 55-pound bag). Since I switched, my husky has been sick with the runs. After 3 days, he became violently sick vomiting (foamy, foul-smelling and nasty color) and he wouldn't move or drink. We rushed him to the emergency vet. They ran every test possibly, couldn't come with an answer and basically told us to be prepared to lose my dog. The nurse asked me what kind of food we gave him and said that this brand had recalls before. They pumped my dog full of fluids and antibiotics. We took him home hoping he would get better. We gave him tons of water; he came through it and is getting a little better every day. This vet visit because of your brand of dog food cost me $647 and almost my dog’s life. For anyone, I ask you to please not give your dog any of their dog brand products.

Someone gave us a few cans of Ol Roy. We gave one to our dog which he loved. He seems fine a few hours later. After reading this site, I threw out the rest. I hope this doesn't kill my dog.

I purchased a medium ($11) bag of Kibbles and Chews. I have eleven shih tzus and they all enjoy this dog food, especially the white chewy bits. This, in particular, had absolutely no chewy bits at all. This is upsetting to me because I know my dogs enjoy these bites the most. They will dig out the entire bowl to get to these pieces first. So this upsets me that they will go over a week without their favorite part of their meals. I am very disappointed that they basically will suffer by going without something they love for over a week. I am disabled and a widow with teenagers, so I cannot afford to go out and get another bag.

I gave my dog Ol' Roy Healthy Mix dog food at 6:00 pm on 7/19/2012. On the morning of 7/20/2012, my dog had seizures so I took him to the vet. They gave him an IV and placed him on human phenobarbital. My dog is just one-year old and I never had any problems with him before as I always use science diet. I was at Walmart last time and since they do not carry science diet, I decided to pick up Ol' Roy Healthy Mix. I then realized that it was the reason why my dog had seizures. The next morning, I changed his food back to Science Diet. I did not give him any medicines and he has been fine. So if you love your dog, please do not give him/her Ol' Roy dog food.

I gave my dogs Ol Roy since the brand I usually buy was out and in the middle of the night, the puppy had severe diarrhea. The next day, my older puppy started throwing up and by the next morning, my older puppy was violently throwing up and unable to move and it look like he had a seizure and passed. He would have been 3 next month. I was able to get the younger puppy into the vet and started her on antibiotics and so far, she is good.

We tried a new dog food, Ol' Roy Moist & Meaty. I gave my dog half the packet, and he inhaled it. Later that evening, I fed him the rest of the packet, which he devoured. In the middle of the night, we discovered he had been vomiting. All that next day, he became completely lethargic, vomiting in place, diarrhea without even moving - just where he lay. He couldn't lift his head, wouldn't drink water, or even become enticed with a treat. Thinking perhaps his body was just not used to a new dog food, we waited.

I bought a bag of Ol' Roy Dog Food to save money over the cost of Purina Puppy Chow and it was the biggest mistake of my life. I fed it to my Lab puppies and 4 out of 6 died within days. Not an easy death, suffering, throwing up, bloody bowel movements and the lack of ability to eat, drink or move. I will forever feel guilty for making the mistake of feeding my puppies this food. When I talked to the company, they told me that the food tested good but had grass, pencil shavings and weeds in it. When I told them that it had to have been in it when I bought it, they told me that it was not their responsibility but Walmart's. I called Walmart and they said it is not their responsibility and that they are sorry for my loss! What is wrong with these people? These puppies are my babies. I am angry!

Thinking I was getting a bargain, I recently bought a 10lbs box of Ol Roy multi-flavored dog biscuits at Walmart. I gave our Chesapeake Bay Retriever two in the evening. That night, she was not acting like herself. I got up with her in the middle of the night and she was lying with her feet and tail tucked tightly under her. Her body was trembling like exaggerated shivering. She seemed okay the next day, but this seemed like a warning sign that perhaps these dog bones made her sick. They didn't look or smell abnormal in any way, but after reading all these reviews, I am throwing the bones out.

My sister gave me and my husband Ol' Roy Meaty Loaf the 22 oz. can for our two welsh corgis and one of them has passed due to a truck. The other is puking and has been since he had just a little bit of the food and it’s all foamy. I do not like seeing my dog like this and I will make sure that the word is passed around to never buy this brand again. He is one of my children and I do not stand for my children to be hurt.

I gave the dog food to my dogs outside. I have 5 big dogs and I only gave them this kind of dog food and it made all 5 of them sick. I don’t know what happened. I gave them the gravy kind and it didn’t make them sick. The only reason I gave them this kind is because the store I got the other kind was because they were out of the kind I bought them. So, I would like to know if you will refund my money and replace 44 pounds I got. I got 5 of them. I always buy 5 of the gravy kind. But like I said, they were out of that kind so I had to buy 5 of the other kind. I paid $21.98 for them and all of it came to $115.90 that is with tax and all. So, can you replace them and refund my money?

My 6 dogs got very sick after eating from 2 different 40 to 50 pound bags of Ol' Roy Dog Food. Luckily, we figured out it was the dog food and took it and put it in a dumpster in town. Any chance of getting refunded? I don't want a lawsuit. I just would like a refund.

I hadn't had any problems with Ol' Roy (Mini Chunks with gravy) until the last 12-pack. My male Chi acted drunk, was unable to walk, navigate and then had a seizure. My female was vomiting severely and she is a new momma. I don't know what the hell is going on but they aren't getting anymore of Ol' Roy.

Quality of dog food - I bought a bag of Kibbles 'n Bits Ol Roy dog food because my little older dog likes the white and soft dog food in that bag. All I got were red chunks and maybe 15 white ones.

I switched from Beggin Strips to Old Roy bacon strips. Within weeks, my Shih Tzu started vomiting and died. My Cocker Spaniel died 20 days later. She too began by vomiting. She had a vet appointment later in the day and died before I could get her to the vet. I don't know for certain that the Old Roy strips caused the death, but that was the only change in their diet and lives in many years. We miss them severely.

I bought a 40 lb. bag of Kibbles Chunks and Chews from Wal-Mart in April. I fed it to my 112 lb. Rottweiler. He seemed to be okay at first, then he started with serious diarrhea and a few days later, he seemed lethargic, started vomiting a clear phlegm, wouldn't eat anything, not even steak. We took him to the vet but he seemed to be getting better, then started vomiting again. I changed his dog food to Pedigree and gave the remainder of the bag to my sister-in-law for her dogs. I received a call tonight telling me that both of her dogs were vomiting. Please do not feed your dog Ol Roy dog food. After reading these reviews, my heart sank. I would be heartbroken and very angry if I lost my dog. I will never feed this to my dog again!

I had just brought home a 20 pound bag of Ol Roy dog food for my 2 dogs and left for work. The next morning, my husband said when he went to feed them, he put the cup in and when he brought it out. It was full of ants. He found table scraps to feed them that night. Upon further inspection of the bag, we discovered that the entire bag was ant-infested and no, I do not have an ant problem in my house. This was a new sealed bag.

I bought Ol’ Roy from Wal-Mart in Jacksonville, NC. My 2 dogs ate it and I had to take one to the emergency vet because he was throwing up and had severe diarrhea and could not walk. Now, my other one is doing the same thing. They need to step up to the plate and take it off the shelves before more dogs are harmed by this bad food. These dogs are my family, not just pets.

I made a mistake of buying an Ol’ Roy dry dog food (with gravy mix). When I fed it to my German shepherds, I noticed they started to get sick and vomiting a lot. I woke up with both my dogs dead before I could get them to the vet’s office! How can Ol' Roy not care!

I bought a 50-pound bag of Ol' Roy High Performance dog food on April 16, 2012 and fed all six of my dogs their weight appropriate amount of dog food that night. I had just finish off a bag of Ol' Roy and so was feeding a small amount of the previous bag with the new bag of Ol' Roy. The next morning my 9-month-old Carolina dog mix had explosive diarrhea in his crate. Once let out into the yard, he vomited and had watery diarrhea shoot out of his butt. I cleaned him and his crate up and let the other dogs out and watched them eliminate. All had solid excrement, but it was tinged with a small amount of bright red blood. Since I had to work that day, I left my 9-month-old pup out in the yard all day thinking it was just something he had eaten and it would pass.

A friend made the mistake and bought the wrong dog food. She bought Ol’ Roy dry food. I noticed both of my dogs were both vomiting. I could not get them to drink water or eat their regular dog food. I am watching them now to see if I can make my pets better. This stuff needs to be stopped. Our pets are important to us! How dare you not make this right with these families? Better yet, how can you make it right? The poor animals are suffering!

I just got a female English bulldog about 2 weeks ago. I had got her from a friend who found her. She is an older dog, but I wanted to breed her with my 2-year old male bulldog. After a week, she started gasping and vomiting; then my male started. The only thing that has changed was the food that has recently been bought: Ol’ Roy dry dog food! I have tears from watching them suffer. It’s killing me—and the vet isn't open. I really hope this business gets shut down due to their lack of humanity that they are making pets endure! Shame on you!
