5 Best Alternatives to Sundays Dog Food (2026 Guide)

Last Updated on May 12, 2026 by Kieran Beckles

Have you been feeding Sundays For Dogs but are ready to switch and looking for the best alternatives to ensure a smooth transition?

Sundays For Dogs is one of my favorite dog food brands based in the US. Since returning to California in 2023, we have reviewed all the leading brands of fresh dog food.

However, you may want to switch your pet’s food to try fresh dog food or adopt a raw-fed diet. If you’re ready to switch, I’d recommend either We Feed Raw or UnKibble.

We Feed Raw is my top recommendation if you’ve got a really fussy eater. Their frozen raw food transformed Skye from a picky dog into a food-motivated Alaskan Klee Kai.

If price is your biggest motivator, you won’t find better value than UnKibble. We’ve reviewed over 30 brands, and UnKibble is the best value at $164.40 a month (our price).

In this article, we’ll share what we believe are the best Sundays Food For Dogs alternatives, including other air-dried dog food, some fresh dog food brands, and raw dog food.

UPDATED: May 2026
We updated this review in May 2026 to reflect the latest pricing and recipes on offer from all the brands included. We temporarily removed A Pup Above due to a change in their dry food line. We also added a table comparing Sundays to other popular dog food brands. We included quick-fire pros and cons for each brand. As always, this article follows our dog food testing process to ensure accurate, honest, and experience-based recommendations.

Best Sundays For Dogs Alternatives Table

We Feed Raw

My top pick if you’re ready to swap out Sundays would be We Feed Raw. This is the brand that changed my Klee Kai.

We started with their human-grade raw dog food, but they’ve also got a freeze-dried range if you’d prefer a dry food format.

Copper and Skye love their recipes. I’ve never seen Skye show such enthusiasm for dog food as she does with We Feed Raw.

They offer a custom meal plan, and they recently launched their peel-back meal pouches in 2026 to make feeding time even easier.

We’ve been feeding We Feed Raw every month for the past two years, and our Klee Kai have been healthy throughout that time.

We haven’t experienced any pickiness with Skye. There’s been no tummy trouble. Their pooping routine is regular, and their stools are small.

I can’t recommend We Feed Raw enough. Their freeze-dried meals cost me $201 a month, while their raw meals cost $280.

UnKibble

If you’ve researched the best dry dog food in the USA before reading this article, you’ll probably have encountered UnKibble by Spot and Tango.

They’re one of the leading dry dog food brands, trying to improve your dog’s health with their human-grade UnKibble recipes.

UnKibble uses limited-ingredient recipes using human-grade meat and veggies that pet owners will likely recognize and even eat as part of their diet.

As with all the dog food companies featured here, pet parents will need to provide details about their dog, such as age, breed, activity level and more.

How does UnKibble compare to Sundays?
You can read our comparison article.

UnKibble stands out for offering an extra level of customization, including a custom scooper that comes with your first box. You can make sure you get the portions right!

Spot and Tango offers four UnKibble recipes: Beef & Barley, Chicken & Brown Rice, Cod & Salmon, and Turkey & Sweet Potatoes. This is a good variety for fussy eaters!

You can get started with your first box by filling out their sign-up questionnaire. I spent $164.40 per month on UnKibble to feed Copper and Skye dry food.

Take a deep dive into UnKibble in my review.

The Farmer’s Dog

We’ve only highlighted dry dog food so far, but if you want to swap air-dried food for fresh frozen meals, let’s take a look at a fresh dog food company.

Having tested a lot of different fresh dog food in the past 12 months, The Farmer’s Dog represents the best value service if you’d like to try fresh food.

The Farmer’s Dog offers fresh-food meals containing real ingredients, such as USDA beef and chicken, and vegetables like peas and sweet potatoes.

What impressed me about The Farmer’s Dog is how they customized their meals for Copper and Skye. They labeled their meals and stuck a portion guideline on the front. It’s a small detail, but I liked the attention to detail!

The Farmer’s Dog offers four recipes: beef, chicken, pork and turkey. Copper and Skye’s favorite recipes were beef and chicken. In 2026, they offer grain-inclusive and grain-free recipes.

Have you already tried The Farmer's Dog?
We shared some of the top alternatives in this guide.

Unlike dry dog food, The Farmer’s Dog must be stored in the freezer, and a few defrosted meal pouches in the fridge. So there’s a level of inconvenience compared to dry food.

The Farmer’s Dog is the most affordable fresh dog food company I’ve reviewed. Their meals cost me $251.04 a month, which is almost the same price as some of the dry food companies highlighted in this article.

Maev

If you’ve previously tried dry and fresh foods, you may be ready to try a raw-fed diet.

Having tested some of the leading raw dog foods in the USA, Maev stands out as the most convenient, especially if you’re new to this pet food format.

Maev uses human-grade ingredients such as USDA beef, USDA chicken, fruit, and vegetables. When you take a peek inside the bag, you can see the many colors of the fruit and veggies.

They offer just two recipes (beef and chicken) but have different formulations to address various health and behavioral issues (calm & anxiety, hip & joint, skin & coat, and weight & digestion).

Maev doesn’t offer a sign-up questionnaire, but you can use their feeding calculator to figure out how much raw food you need for your pets each month.

Unlike some raw foods, Maev is ready to serve direct from the freezer. You scoop out the appropriate portion of raw food from the bag before putting it back in the freezer. It’s simple and mess-free!

Skye and Copper were obsessed with Maev. I was astounded by their reaction. Skye showed so much mealtime excitement. So Maev passed the picky eater test with flying colors.

I paid $200 to feed Maev to my Alaskan Klee Kai dogs.

Tally’s Ranch

Tally’s Ranch is a freeze-dried raw company that provides human-grade meals for dogs if you’re looking for an alternative to Sundays Food For Dogs.

It was founded by Michael, who previously worked for The Farmer’s Dog (which will feature later in this list). They launched in 2024 to offer another option for dog owners who want to feed their pups natural ingredients.

Tally’s Ranch offers pet owners the chance to allow their dogs to enjoy the benefits of raw dog food without the hassle of handling raw meat. The morsels are stored in a resealable bag and come with a handy scooper.

They offer beef and chicken recipes, which admittedly isn’t the biggest menu when compared to other human-grade dog food brands. However, Copper and Skye enjoyed eating the two Tally’s Ranch recipes.

You get started by signing up through their questionnaire. This allows Tally’s Ranch to tailor your dog’s food to meet their requirements based on your answers. While they provide a scooper (something which Sundays don’t do), it isn’t a custom scooper like UnKibble.

I was charged $219 when I signed up to receive a monthly supply of Tally’s Ranch for my Alaskan Klee Kai dogs. The price is comparable to most of the dog food brands on this list.

Stick With Sundays?

Now that we’ve looked at the best alternatives to Sundays For Dogs, you might be ready to make a change or have second thoughts about ditching Sundays.

We were still feeding Sundays to Skye and Copper up until recently because we like the convenience of feeding air-dried food that doesn’t take up fridge or freezer space.

While it doesn’t require fridge or freezer space, we love that our Klee Kai dogs are still eating fresh food, just in an air-dried format.

Looking for cheap fresh dog food alternatives?
We wrote a handy guide to save you money.

It’s a great value, considering I pay $218 for a month’s supply of Sundays for my Alaskan Klee Kai.

Ultimately, we decided to sign up to We Feed Raw, receiving frozen raw and freeze-dried raw food meals. We’ve swapped air-dried for freeze-dried as their meal topper.

Having said that, Sundays is more versatile in that I can use it as a treat thanks to its treat-like texture.
