What food helps a dog with cancer, pain, and pooping issues?

Question

My boyfriend’s 11 year old beagle has a tumor in his butt and has trouble pooping. He is in pain and the vet has prescribed anti inflammatory medication and pain killers but i was wondering what brand or kind of food can I give him? Is there anything I can give him to help him fight the cancer? Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Male | 36 lbs

I'm sorry Frank has cancer! Brands of food I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. You can try adding some pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) to his dry dog food to add more fiber in his diet, which may help. Keep in mind, however, that this tumor may be blocking his anus, making it hard for him to poop, and that no diet will stop the growth of the tumor. You can speak to his vet to see if surgery is an option to remove the tumor, or if chemotherapy is an option. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
