I have to agree that science diet food is not optimal food to feed. A 6 month old dog should not be going quite that often. At that age Dillon was going about 3x a day at most. I would look to switch your pup to adult food ( no puppy food at that age) and to a high quality dog food that does not have corn, wheat, soy, meat by-products, sugar, salt, artificial colors or flavors.
There are a lot of human grade ingredient dog foods out there ( wellness, solid gold, merrick, natures balance, wysong, timberwolf, oh and there are lots of others that are really quite good).

The other thing i would do is probably take your pup to the vet for a check up to make sure there are no worms or other issues that could be causing issues.
