A while ago I bought Ol' Roy dog food from my local Wal-Mart store. I bought it because it was a cheaper option for my dogs and meat was listed as the first ingredient. My dogs seemed to enjoy the taste - however, they are not very picky eaters. After about a week I noticed that one of my dogs was losing hair around his eyes. I started to freak out thinking that he had mange or some other serious dog disease. I took him to the vet and his skin was tested for infection and after coming back negative the vet asked me if I had changed his diet. I confirmed that I had indeed bought a new food within the last month. The vet said that more than likely my dog had an allergic reaction to the food and that was why he was losing his hair.
I have since stopped feeding him the Ol' Roy and his hair has grown back. I regularly change up my dogs' diets and they have never had an allergic reaction or problem with any other brand of dog food. After doing some more research I have found that most of the cheaper foods are bunk anyway but Ol' Roy is definitely the lowest as far as I am concerned.
