In all, the recall covers more than 107 million cans of dog food in several flavors sold under the Gravy Train, Kibbles ‘N Bits, Skippy and Ol ‘ Roy brands. Big Heart Pet Brands distributed the Gravy Train, Kibbles ‘N Bits and Skippy dog food to retailers nationwide. Walmart Stores Inc. distributed the Ol ‘ Roy dog food.
As a brand, Ol ‘ Roy Dog Food does not even have its own website. The pet food is owned by Walmart and made by Doane Pet Food , which, in turn, is owned by the Mars pet food division. Mars is one of the largest pet food manufacturers in the country and makes several other brands of pet food .
Today, we learn of yet another national brand of dog food was found to contain the lethal euthanizing drug sodium pentobarbital: Walmart’s brand Ol ‘ Roy canned dog food . Walmart , the nation’s largest retailer, is now in the process of quietly removing it from all 4,700 stores across America.
Judging by its ingredients alone, Ol ‘ Roy Dog Food looks like a below-average dry product. Ol ‘ Roy is a grain-inclusive dry dog food using a modest amount of meat and bone meal or poultry by-product meal as its main sources of animal protein, thus earning the brand 1 star.
Even though it is owned by the Walmart corporation and manufactured by Mars, Inc., it is unclear whether the Ol ‘ Roy brand of dog food is made in the United States. The brand’s only online presence is through the Walmart website and there is little information available about the brand itself.
