Well it could be the problem. I found that out the hard way also. I find myself that I rarely feed my dogs as much as the bags of food suggest. It's a starting point, but rarely the end amount. Mind you, my two are older and not so active. That said, even with a great dog food, if your dog gets too much it can cause soft stools. So cut him back a little bit at each meal. If he's whining and crying like he did at night when he was hungry then you may have gone too far, but if he's eating three times a day, and he's so tiny, he really won't need too much of a quality food. Don't forget to factor in any treats you give him also. If he gets lots of cookies/treats you need to reduce kibble. Oh, and it was someone on this site many years ago that clued me into this.
