        The crazy looking food, itself, has decent reviews, but the owners of Gentle Giants used to run a puppy mill disguised as a dog rescue from what I have found about them.

        There are quite a few bad reviews about the puppy mill from the mid to late 2000s. Like this one for example.

      Dude also claims that his Great Dane (that he developed this food for) lived to be like 27 years old or somthing stupid like that. Great Danes live like 5-7 years, typically. Maybe like 10 on the outside if they don’t die of bone cancer first (they get that a lot as a genetic side effect of being bred to be huge). The oldest confirmed dog ever was supposedly 31 years old (https://www.npr.org/2023/10/25/1208478868/bobi-worlds-oldest-dog-dies-portuguese), but these sort of age record-breaking dogs are highly suspect in general because dog life expectancy is pretty consistent by breed.
