You can try the following: Take Moose off his normal puppy food and do not feed him tonight. Tomorrow morning start feeding him white boiled rice and white boneless boiled chicken. Give several small feeds a day. Do this for a day. The next day, replace 1/4 of the rice and chicken with his regular food and feed that over several small feeds . The day after feed half and half, and then you can give the full amount of his regular food. If his diarrhea does not stop with this diet, you will need to take him to your vet for an exam. He may have a gastro-intestinal infection or have worms, if he has not been wormed yet or a long time ago.
