Is O'l Roy an okay brand?I feed my dog that and I'm afraid that he will get sick from that recall thing...


Ol' Roy Canada AND US were both on the list, I'm not sure if dry food was recalled but I know that Ol' Roy treats were being recalled also.


Please let me know, as soon as possible. I know a few people who buy those...

My Mom says that only certain brands that you can get at a logal store were infected, because they lower the quality so they can make more. I'm NOT worried about my pets because I feed them Science Diet. A pet food brand that you can only get at farm supply and pet stores; obviously a higher quality.


Don't let the "high quality" brand fool you. Iams was SUPPOSED to be high quality, yet it's on the list. In a case like this, it's good to remain suspicious.

Science Diet is actually worse quality then Iams, like I said, you might as well just buy no-name.

Science Diet and Iams are ripping you off, people. You pay about the same amount for my dogs food. It's $65 for a 33 pound bag, and it lasts about 2 months. Iams & Science Diet are about $55 for a 40 pound bag and lasts almost half as long.. Look at the ingredients

This is my dogs food:

Turkey, Chicken, Turkey Meal, Chicken Meal, Potatoes, Herring Meal, Chicken Fat, Natural Flavors, Egg, Garlic, Apples, Carrots, Tomatoes, Cottage Cheese, Alfalfa Sprouts, Dried Chicory Root, Taurine, Lecithin, Rosemary Extract, Vitamins/Minerals, Viable Naturally Occurring Microorganisms

This is Science Diet:

Ground Whole Grain Corn, Chicken By-Product Meal, Corn Gluten Meal, Dried Beet Pulp, Chicken Liver Flavor, Animal Fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid), Fish Oil, Flaxseed, Soybean Oil, Iodized Salt, Potassium Chloride, L-Lysine, vitamins (L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin A Supplement, Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Folic Acid, Vitamin D3 Supplement), Choline Chloride, Vitamin E Supplement, L-Tryptophan, minerals (Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Copper Sulfate, Manganous Oxide, Calcium Iodate, Sodium Selenite), preserved with Mixed Tocopherols and Citric Acid, L-Carnitine, Calcium Carbonate, Beta-Carotene, Rosemary Extract.

and this is Iams:

Chicken, Corn Meal, Ground Grain Sorghum, Chicken By-Product Meal, Ground Whole Grain Barley, Dried Beet Pulp (sugar removed), Dried Egg Product, Natural Chicken Flavor, Chicken Fat (preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of vitamin E, and Citric Acid), Brewers Dried Yeast, Vitamins and Minerals.

Yeah, chicken is the first ingredient, but once they remove the water it only equals 20% of the total, so it's likely that it shouldn't be placed that far up the list.

Beet Pulp and Dried Egg Product are nutritionless fillers.

They use by-products and un-named meat sources. (ie. Meat meal, Animal fat) and are almost made up of only grains, which are hard for dogs to digest..

Now tell me that's high-quality :roll:


:lol: Well, there you have it! Everyone's precious 'Science Diet' is filled with crap I can't even pronounce XD Kudos for the research, Outlaw :D
