Dog food is for dogs... rat food is for rats...

Dog food in general tend to make the rodents more greasy and smell bad.

Dog food DOES make your rodents greasy and just unhealthy looking in general.

It's hard to find rodent lab block in bulk at a cheap price in Canada. I'm in Alberta and a lot of breeders use 16% UNMEDICATED hog grower. About $16 for 25kg at a UFA store. I'll usually pick up a big bag of bird seed with peanuts and all that fun stuff to mix in as well.

I believe ol'Roy isn't even fit for dogs. I would stick to the rat chow im sure you will find a bad batch of anything you buy at one time or another. Have you checked for a hog chow with high protine? Also, I stay away from anything with red dye in it.

Read the list of ingredients on the bag and compare to rat chow. I've been using a brand called sprout 18% protein dog food from fleet farm, it does NOT make the rodents greasy or smelly, not all dog foods are made the same

There are all natural dog foods that are made with quality ingredients.

Yes but nutritional requirements are different for dogs and rats

True. I wouldn't feed rats dog food or vice versa.
