One only needs to read the ingredients on the bag to see why it is of very low quality...The way I see it you pay (for good food) now or you pay later in vet bills & you dog's health...The Diamond Naturals line is a good & inexpensive food...I think it runs about 25.00 for 40 lbs.

Bad Ingredients

I haven't been about to find a list of ingredients online for it! Look at your bag to see what inferior ingredients this stuff has in it.

Bad Ingredients in Old' Roy: Ground Yellow Corn (is the first thing on the list, ground yellow corn makes the dog fat, stops the heart up and makes the coat look bad and greasy, corn is the worst food you can give a dog), soybean meal (another bad ingredients, dogs are allergic to soy and soy is very bad for the immune system), corn syrup (look, this is the third ingredient! why cor syrupe, that is nasty. That is like giveing your dog a whole bottle of regular syrup every day), poultry fat (this is nasty, very bad for dogs to have, makes them very fat and can get them sick), meat and bone meal (bone meal is fine, meat meal can be bad), animal fat with BHA and BHT (what a very bad ingredient in this food, why on earth would you want to give your dog this), chicken by-product meal (By products is not real meat and is very bad for the heart and immune system), rice (rice is the second worst food you can give your dog, rice is horrible for dogs. White rice is the worst, brown rice is fine!), animal digest (this is nasty, why would you give a dog animal digest?), salt (salt, is poisonous to dogs). Go to Old' Roy ingredients and answers and yahoo will pop up and it will tell you all the bad ingredients! shock

"poultry fat (this is nasty, very bad for dogs to have, makes them very fat and can get them sick), meat and bone meal (bone meal is fine, meat meal can be bad), , rice (rice is the second worst food you can give your dog, rice is horrible for dogs. White rice is the worst, brown rice is fine!), animal digest (this is nasty, why would you give a dog animal digest?), salt (salt, is poisonous to dogs)."

Delilah, sorry, you've really got to get your facts straight. No idea where you got the idea that white rice is horrible for dogs or salt is poisonous. Animal digest is just a stew of random parts from random animals... not actual digest. But it's still not a good ingredient. Poultry fat is bad because it's unspecified and could be any bird, dogs NEED a good fat source in their diet.

...ugh.

Years ago my brother had a chocolate lab who used to eat Ol Roy. His vet told him it was the worst food he could possibly feed him. He told him go home and throw it out.

You really can't afford TO feed your dog Ol' Roy. With a high quality food you actually feed a smaller amount and get increased nutrition. Also, you'll save a boatload on vet bills arising from feeding poison to your furred friend.

I have a dear friend who argued with me for a year that she couldn't afford anything but her store brand. When her beloved pet nearly died from eating the bad food she decided to go with a premium brand. Viola, the dog is healthier and she actually spends less $ per day with the new high quality food than with the old crappy food.
