Best dried or fridge food (possible raw) for puppy

Hi, as the title says really. The range of food is astonishing now compared to the last time I did this. Last time I fed frozen raw mince (for dogs, not human stuff) and Origen. Origen still seems to be a quality food according to jngredients. Not sure about raw freezer stuff as planning on frequent jaunts in the motor home we are planning to buy and we won't have the freezer space.
Can I have some advice please?

Hi. I too was confused and we jaunt in the caravan. We've gone doen the Bella and Duke route which we did because it had the clearest feeding guide. We also changed to Wolfworthy kibble which we feed for one meal so we can take that for holidays. I don't know if we are doing right but she eats everything!!

Chicken wings, minced beef with bone meal stirred in, dried liver for treats, occasional fish and egg. That’s if you want to do raw.

Otherwise outside of the super cheap and the super expensive they’re all much of a muchness

We feed beta large breed kibble alongside cooked chicken breast and veg(the 2 are mixed together each feed)

Fresco do a really high quality dry raw, tinned and frozen raw and all can be fed interchangeably. We use their dry raw for treats (too expensive for us to feed exclusively as our puppy is 30kg and not stopped growing yet, we use a local brand complete raw mince as the bulk of his food).

Just to note, Orijen cause horrible allergic reactions for our pup, a combination of the chicken (very common allergen) and the legume content.
We also use The Innocent Hound for treats, and the texture and smell of their dry raw is really nice, softer than the Fresco which is mega crunchy (some dogs don’t like that, ours likes a good crunch though!)

I would second Fresco. They really seem to understand what dogs need nutritionally.

I like the look of wolf worthy. I think I am going to trial that. Fresco would be great but the raw kibble is out of stock which is really worrying

They've been having stock trouble for ages (Brexit, I think).

Mix the Wolfworthy with a bit of warm water so it smells bovrilly. Makes quite a nice little gravt. We use ours for training treats too.
