Dogs who eat Gentle Giants Dog Food, and who follow the special Gentle Giants feeding and care program, are as living as long as twenty-seven healthy, active years (with wonderful quality of life), while cats who eat Gentle Giants Cat Food are enjoying up to thirty-two years of healthy, active, quality life.
