I don't have a crazy puglet, but hey..
I changed Precious over to raw last year, took me ages to get around to it as I was completely confused and overwhelmed and the more I read and learned the more confused I got.. Like Judy said everyone's got an opinion, and then there's getting the ratio/ balance right, and putting it all together in a 'menu' that works for you and your dog..
I also didn't initially have the freezer space- this'll be a lot easier for you as Laufey is much smaller- P has around 1.5kg per day so a whole lotta meat! (P has his own freezer now, I got a second hand one for £20 so if you've got the space that's def a good option
)
Not sure if this helps you but this is what I did: I found a local raw food supplier, so until I sorted a second freezer I was able to collect from her weekly.
I am happy to ask her if she knows anyone near you if you want?
With the new freezer I now get monthly deliveries.
She also helped me put together a menu for the first couple of months, making sure P got the right balance. We started off with minces, which is brilliant as the meat/bone/offal ratios are all worked out for you and there is a huge variety of meats and also tripe mixes
and pigs trotters for chewing.
Now that I'm feeling more confident with the whole thing I've added meat chunks and chicken carcasses, and if I want to go the whole hog including pigs heads etc I can.. Haven't decided on that one yet
Honestly it's been super easy and very convenient, if you haven't got the time or confidence to source it all yourself and DIY it!
It's also cheaper than good quality kibble; P was on Orijen before which was around £80 per month for his size, then treats and recreational bones came on top of that. Now I normally spend around £75 per month including bones and some training treats as well.
Re mixing kibble and raw IMO you're better off doing one or the other, apparently they do digest at different rates (makes sense), kibble takes longer; but I know some people do and I think the main thing is to not give both in one meal but rather raw one meal then kibble the next.
