Update - We returned TOTW Sierra Mountain after about 2 weeks. We realised that TOto started scratching his paws more and we are not very uncomfortable with that. We switch his kibbles to Wellness Simple Food Solutions Lamb & Rice Formula next; and he seems to be doing so much better with firmer poop.
Our experiments with TOto's kibbles are rather successful.
His poop really came out in 2 colours and 2 different type of texture!
Poops by Solidgold Hund-n-Flocken Adult Dog are really softer and comes out yellowish and Poops by Orijen Fish are darker and firmer in texture. This experiment confirms our suspicion that kibbles that are high in grain content give softer poop! So we are in the market looking for Grain Free and Low Protein Kibbles. We found ACANA Lamb & Apples but that is not available in USA!
As for now we are switching TOto 1/3 portion of his meal; Solid Gold Fluckchen Hocken to Taste of the Wild - Sierra Mountain Canine Formula.

Not very happy with the SALT but we realised alot of 'Grain Free' kibbles would have SALT as one of their ingredient! We wonder why!! But we rationalised that since we are only giving TOto's 1/3 of the portion, it would still be acceptable! TOTW kibbles smell weird, hahaha~
Low Protein level at 25%!
High level proteins are not healthy for small dogs' kidney!
Feeding portion is almost the same as Solidgold!
Hopefully we get firmer poops from TOTW!
It comes highly recommended from online reviews!
