Interesting that you bring up cancer in your dog (sorry about the loss of your pet). Anecdotally, my sense for the past several years is that there has been a marked increase in the rate of cancer in dogs, and I've wondered if it had anything to do with what they're being fed. Something in the dog food, or perhaps something in the table scraps owners feed them (we see increase in human cancer as well). Wondering if there have been any studies on this.
Personally, I've primarily used Purina One for my dogs over the past 20 years, especially during their first year, and have had great results. When I began using it, I had a lab/rottie mix puppy and was able to compare her to a litter mate a friend had and used low-quality/cheaper food. The difference in health, coat, growth, etc. was like night and day! It has become quite expensive so you may want to check with your vet to see if they recommend any quality alternatives. Either way, I would suggest checking ingredients and making sure it's not a bunch of grain "filler" as some of the cheaper alternatives use.

Purina is horrible. Look at the ingredients and research them. Animal digest (for one example) can come from any type of animal, sick or healthy.
Could you expand upon that? I'm not understanding what you are getting at regarding "Animal digest".
