And you know him as Robin from Batman and Robin, but we also know him as a gentleman who is an entrepreneur and he's doing wonderful things for pets with his brand of dog food called Gentle Giants, which is actually shipped right out of soust Fall, South Dakota.
That's right. Yeah, we have our warehousing there. We ship but all across America, right from that beautiful city of yours that gets a little coal sometimes during the winter it does, it's a little hot, but when I was there, it was beautiful and it's a beautiful city.
Well, thank you, and we love it here and let's talk a little bit. A lot of folks that are listening know you from Batman and Robin, from other projects that you do, and of course I know you from Gentle Giants. Dog food and cat food, because we've talked about that before. How did that all come about, because that's not something everybody listening probably doesn't realize that you're very involved in this. Let's talk a little bit about that.
Yeah. Well, for the last thirty one years, my wife and I have rescued more than fifteen thousand, five hundred dogs and more than three hundred and fifty cats. In every case we found each and everyone a safe, loving home. In the course of doing that, we realized how short lives that the dogs and cats have in comparison to our human lives, and how meaningful our pets are to us, and we vowed that if there was a way, we would try to help them live longer and healthier. This
is our charity. My wife and I don't take any salary from this. We never have, we never will. But we spent years to develop the finest pet food in the world that we believe is the finest, and we judge that on the fact that dogs and cats eating gentle giants' natural, non gam ingredients pet foods are living into their twenties. One of our customers has a dog that, on January third, just a month ago, turned thirty one years of age.
Wow, he's been.
Feeding for sixteen and a half years. Our food has been around a long time, and our food is available. Our dog food is available in all the pet Coast stores across America there's fifteen hundred, and our dog food and our cat food are also available online at petco dot com with free home delivery. Also other online retailers like Tractor Supply and Chewy dot com and PetSmart dot
com they all have our food as well. But this is our life's work and we're thrilled to be able this year that we are and have been a sponsor of the Super Bowl promotion that started last month in January up until the game coming up on Sunday. And in addition this year, we're also going to be a sponsor of Major League Baseball, of college basketball, and the
NFL National Football League. And we just want to reach people out there and say, if you love your dog or cat and you're interested in giving them an ext year ten years or more of healthy active life, considered picking up general giants for them so that they can have an opportunity to live as long as our dogs and cats are living.
I love that and one of the things that I really like is again with the connection that we have here in Sioux Falls. And you've got a connection. Not only is the food made in this area, it's distributed from right here in Sioux Falls. So I love the fact that this even though we're listening to a guy who everybody all around the world know you, it's also a very local topic because the Gentle Giants dog food is distributed from Sioux Falls.
Right well, it's actually and it's made in Sioux City, Iowa, which is only ninety miles away, and it's delivered up to Sioux Falls. We've been with them with Nordica Warehouses there for many years. Wonderful people, and we ship all over the United States. And again one of the things that we do we make our food fresh for every order every retailer that carries our food. In other words,
we don't have warehouses full of food. We only they get the food right after they make it, the next day after it's made, and then the next day after that it's shipped out. So people are getting freshly made food. You know, I don't understand a lot of the bigger companies are bragging that their food has a three year shelf life. I wouldn't want to feed my dog of food that was made three years ago. We believe that the s a dog eats food that has been freshly made, the better the nutrition.
I love that. Well, Bert, thank you for all that you're doing again, going from cake crusader to canine crusader and cat and kitten crusader. Thank you for doing what you're doing to help in that community. And we appreciate it a bunch all right.
Well, as we said on Batman, come up again.
Bert Ward has been our guest today. Gentle giants, dog foods and cat foods, and again it's available everywhere, but it comes from right here in Sioux Falls.
