I don't doubt for one minute that he's actually fed that much...I just find it terribly unnecassary. He's overweight and unless he is being fed a low quality kibble there is no reason for him to be eating that much a month. Between my three dogs (135lbs, 115lbs, and 72lbs) I typically go through two 40lb bags a month when i'm feeding kibble. Even when they were sill growing and eating twice as much as they do now it wasn't anywhere near that much.

and yes there may very well be more to the story...but I see all to often people keeping their giant breeds fat just for the "wow" factor of being able to say they have a 200 plus pound dog.
