Dog food Raw V Dry

[DJ85]

we've decided to change our 6 month french bulldog over from kibble food to raw food, there seems to be a lot more health benefits by doing this also there's the matter that he just plain leaves his dry food sitting all day....until there's a hint of human food in then hell eat it all but thats no use for him. Even tried the starve method but he doesn't really care.

So we went to pets at home and spoke to the lady, she showed us puppy raw food and told us to introduce it slowly by reducing the kibbles day by day and upping the raw. But keep something hard in his food so there's a crunch and his teeth don't go soft.
Now were nearly done with his dry food and pets at home weren't very informative so we went to the local pet store and they've said don't listen to pets at home just phase out the dry food and then plates of raw only and add in stuff as you go like pasta veg etc. Been looking this up online and YouTube and its total mixed so pretty lost now.

Anyone else feed there dog raw? That could help with a basic weeks menu to start with since he's nearly on full raw now i don't want to stall or go backwards.

This morning he got 3/4 chicken and salmon with brown rice raw and 1/4 science plan chicken dry. Which will be finishing today or tomorrow.

Thanks for all getting back to me so quick, that be our job for today look up all the above and see what we can get together. i also thought it was strange to keep giving him dry in with his good as i would still have to buy it all the time.
How much kilograms roughly would you go through a month? The packet of natures menu that we have says we should be between 21-35 nuggets a day and there's 58 nuggets in 1kg, so is 1kg every 2.5 days roughly right? Roughly 10kgs per month for one dog of his size. 9.1kgs.
Also do you add in your veg etc on top or reduce the amount slightly and then add in?
Way to start looking up some of the above to see what the more complete ones look like.

This is what we have at the moment but don't want to give them my money now really.

We were doing the dry to raw transfer over but after reading comments on here and speaking to a few other people yesterday we gave him a full plate of raw today and it went down well. We've decided to stick to the natures menu raw till 12 months as its an easy 15 nuggets morning and 15 evening. Also last time we signed up to get deliveries from a website COVID happened and it was delayed then we had ran out so had to go to the shop and buy different stuff till it arrived... Then move on to one of the websites provided above and buy in bulk as the natured menu after 12 months requires nearly a bag a day at £4 a bag could become expensive. Thats 5 days now and can confirm he's went through the wattery toilet period and they are back to normal now and no where near as stinky. (still snores and farts at night)

We got a poster from the local pet shop with lots of different ideas on what to add so should keep us going for a while.
