Why is my puppy's poop dark, soft, and grey after new food?

Question

Hi I have a 3month old gsd puppy. He is on Orijen large puppy feed. Before that he was on royal canin maxi junior. He poop was brown at the time he was eating royal canin. But now his poop is dark brown. Almost near to grey. He is healthy and eats 2 times a day morning at 9 and evening at 7. He will not eat the third time. But he eats all his daily ration as per the guidelines on the orijen dog food bag. ( i.e. 2 and half cup) So is the poop okay and his feeding habits. Thx and sry for img.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Personally the color doesn't bother me but the consistency does. That is diarrhea. It is too soft and not formed. I would go back to the Royal Canin food as it sounds like he digests that one better. Be sure though that he has had his stool tested for intestinal parasites and is up to date on his DHPP vaccines. Good luck!
