Before we found Sundays for Dogs, mealtime was… a negotiation. Waylon, our 65-pound Pit rescue with a toddler’s appetite and a food critic’s taste buds, would sniff his bowl, sigh dramatically, and walk away like he was offended. We tried every kibble, toppers, even cooking chicken ourselves (way too much effort).
Then came Sundays: a game-changing, fresh air-dried dog food that totally flipped the script. The second I reach for the Sundays box, Waylon does zoomies like it’s Christmas morning. And as a label-reader who loves my dog with everything in me, I’m obsessed with what’s in this stuff.
Here’s why Sundays for Dogs has earned a permanent spot in our pantry—and why every dog parent needs to try it:
1. The convenience of kibble in a fresh food
I wanted better nutrition for Waylon, but I didn’t want to be meal prepping for my dog every day. Sundays is air-dried, which means it’s gently prepared at low temps to lock in flavor and nutrients—unlike kibble, which gets blasted at high heat. It’s shelf-stable and scoops like dry food, but delivers the real-food benefits I’d expect from the pricier refrigerated brands, like more energy and better digestion. Best of both worlds? Yes, please.
2. Natural, clean ingredients I’d expect from home cooking
This is a big one for me. I’m picky about what goes into my kids’ bodies, and I’m the same way with Waylon. Sundays is 100% human-grade from start to finish, with recipes that include ingredients like USDA-quality beef, kale, pumpkin, and blueberries. No mystery meat, no fillers, no synthetic vitamins I have to Google. If we wouldn’t eat it, neither should he.
3. 91% USDA-quality beef? You read that right
The beef recipe we served Waylon contained 91% USDA-grade beef, organs and bone. That’s significant compared to the 40-60% meat content in your typical kibble. Waylon’s breed is strong and high-energy, but Waylon was fizzling out fast on his old diet. Now I see the difference. Since upgrading his diet he’s more muscular, he’s alert for more of the day, and he’s not gassy (if you know, you know). He’s thriving on this protein-rich formula—and my entire family’s noses are grateful.
4. No synthetic additives = better digestion, happier pup
Many dog foods hide behind synthetic 'vitamin blends' that dogs can struggle to process and absorb. Sundays is crafted by a vet—Dr. Tory Waxman, the company's co-founder—to be nutritionally complete without the need for additional vitamins. That's incredibly rare and means Waylon is getting nutrients straight from their all-natural source. The result? Waylon's sensitive stomach and digestion issues are a thing of the past. Now, we're living that 'healthy-poops-and-less-gas' life. Maybe TMI, but we're all dog parents here so I know you were wondering.
5. It's a complete meal, but my dog thinks he scored treats
This part still blows my mind: Waylon begs for Sundays like it’s bacon, not dinner. Apparently in taste tests, dogs picked Sundays over traditional kibble 39-0. I believe it. The first time I gave him a few pieces as a “test,” he looked up like, Wait... you’ve been holding out on me? Feeding time went from ‘meh’ to magical. Speaking of magic, I can’t emphasize enough how amazing it’s been to watch him transform as his health improved.
Final verdict: your dog deserves this
If you’ve got a picky eater, a pup with a sensitive stomach, or just want to feed your dog like family (without breaking the bank), Sundays is the way to go. It’s 55% less expensive than other premium fresh options, but just as nutritious, way more convenient, and actually loved by dogs.
Waylon cleaned his bowl on day one and hasn’t stopped dancing for dinner since.
