In dog food you quite often get what you pay for. Personally, I would never feed that to my dogs, though I do know other Border Collie people who would feed that and think their dogs were doing just fine on it. The weight issue may be age, young BCs do tend toward the thin side, but the fact that it is combined with stool eating makes me think that your dog isn’t getting as much out of the food as you would like. As far as feeding directions go, they are only guidelines, and can’t take into account how active a young BC, or lab, can be. I personally would look for a different food, one that has a specific meat as the first ingredient or three, and a specific starch after that. I would not buy a food that had anonymous ingredients, ever. They signify that they are extremely low quality and change without notice, so you never know why your dog has diarrhea or what he is really eating.
