Hi, its good you now know what the problems is, yes the Hills W/d is low in protein-19.2% & low in fat-8.7% & very high in insoluble fiber-28.1% crude fiber-16.4% & low in soluble fiber-1.3%
….The only other thing you could do is write down the Hills W/d kibble insoluble fiber soluble fiber, crude fiber are then email a few kibble companies & ask about their weight management kibbles & see if you can find a kibble as close to the W/d & mix some of the
weight management kibble thru with the Hills W/d to get the higher protein & better ingredients…..but wait until he’s doing firm poos & is stable on the Hills W/d first before trying anything new….
I’m mixing Earthborn Ocean Fusion Natural with Patches Royal Canine Intestinal low fat at the moment to keep his weight on…..its hard to find a premium kibble in Patches case that has low fat & is also low in fiber, the weight loss kibbles normally are low in fat but high in crude fiber that’s where you may find a weight management kibble that is close to the Hills W/d kibble, I know the Earthborn weight Control kibble has 9% crude fiber so email Earthborn & ask what is the insoluble & soluble % in their Weight Control kibble, as you have to feed the Hills W/d for the rest of his life & the ingredients aren’t that great & see what Earthborn or other kibble companies email you back then that way you will have 2 kibbles you know he can eat if anything ever happens & you can’t get the Hills W/d…. I’m running out of kibbles to try now I have maybe 2 premium kibble left to try, I’ve tried most of them but I live Australia you have more dogs in America & have a bigger range of dog food companies to choose from…

My boy has Colitis from food intolerances to certain foods & high fat foods & was pooing blood & pooing jelly poos or the poo looks like a condom on the poo, when I first rescued him I was feeding him cooked meals, kibbles & wet tin foods I didn’t know about wet tin foods being higher in fat if it say’s 5% fat that’s around 22% fat when converted to dry matter (Kibble) then he can’t eat boiled rice but he can eat the grounded rice in kibbles,
it does your head in sometimes…. you’ll have to be careful when you introduce a new food just add 1 new food at a time with his kibble for 2 weeks to make sure he’s not having a reaction to the new food like diarrhea or bloody poos jelly poos condom poos then after trying the new food for 2 weeks & if he’s right then introduce another new food, have you tried sweet potatoes..Sweet potatos are higher in insoluble fiber I found this list to copy & keep it tells you what is high in soluble & insoluble fibers http://www.healthhype.com/list-of-high-fiber-foods-soluble-and-insoluble-fiber-chart.html
