The vet I met with who is an expert in animal nutrition stated that there are only 2 places in Ontario that supply the pet food industry with animal waste required to manufacture the pet food. It's all the same.

Can't speak for Canada but in the US it is NOT all the same. I know cause I had to shovel the shit from many many dogs.
Science diet was always the best for us for large dogs.
As for the chronic diseases its a 'bit' sweeping to blame it all on the food. I know with many breeds of dogs its not the food but the inbreeding which is the problem. We used to have afghan hounds before they became popular in the early 80's. They lived to 13+ years then which is quite good for such a large dog. After they became 'the' dog to have the average life span was about 8 years.
