Maev Vs Sundays (2026): Which Dog Food Is Better?

Last Updated on May 18, 2026 by Kieran Beckles

Struggling to decide between Maev and Sundays For Dogs? I tested their dog food on my Klee Kai, and there was one clear winner. We compare ingredients, convenience, price and give our honest verdict.

If you’ve been following Life With Klee Kai for some time, you’ll know I believe in the benefits of feeding Copper and Skye human-grade dog food formulated by vets, tailored to their needs and shipped to my door.

Sundays offers air-dried dog food that’s convenient to feed because it doesn’t need to be stored in a freezer or defrosted. My Klee Kai dogs enjoyed Sundays and consistently ate it for over 18 months.

While Maev does require freezer space, it doesn’t need to be defrosted. It can be fed directly to your dog with dental benefits. Copper and Skye devoured Maev for the most part. There was one slight drawback that I’ll touch upon in this comparison article.

I’ll also be sharing my insights into Maev and Sundays For Dogs: how they make their dog food, what recipes they’ve got on offer, how their food is prepared, their subscription plans and my verdict based on feeding these dog food brands to Copper and Skye.

Maev Or Sundays: Our Recommendation

Let’s cut right to the chase. If you want my verdict before taking a deep dive into both dog food brands, do I recommend Maev or Sundays?

I would recommend Sundays over Maev, based on my experience feeding their air-dried dog food to my picky Klee Kai Skye and Copper.

While I’ve typically paid for fresh pet food meals over the past six years, I’ve decided to embrace air-dried food, since my Klee Kai loves Sundays and I love its convenience and affordability.

Sundays is a super convenient way to feed your dog balanced, complete meals made from healthy, natural ingredients, customized to meet your pup’s needs and shipped to your door at a really affordable price.

You don’t need to worry about making space in your fridge or freezer because Sundays can be resealed and stored in your cupboard for up to 7 weeks once you’ve opened their ready-to-serve meals for your pet.

Copper and Skye consistently finished their Sundays meals irrespective of the recipe, appearing to enjoy the treat-like texture, which was useful when it came to our daily walks or training sessions.

While Maev’s frozen raw meals are easy to keep in your freezer and ready to pour into your dog’s bowl at mealtime, Copper and Skye started to eat only the meat and leave the fruit and vegetables after a couple of weeks. This was problematic with an inquisitive toddler in our home as my Klee Kai would literally pick out the fruit and veg, leaving it on the floor beside their bowl.

I believe Maev and Sundays are good options. If you’re looking to ditch traditional pet food in favor of a dog food subscription, I’d recommend starting with Sundays.

Sundays For Dogs

Sunday For Dogs has created an air-dried dog food range formulated by veterinary nutritionists, using human-grade ingredients in customized recipes. It doesn’t contain any additives, nasties or preservatives, which makes their air-dried dog food an elevated option if you want to ditch kibble, canned food or wet food.

Having reviewed many dog food delivery services, I believe Sundays has one of the best sign-up questionnaires. Once you’ve finished answering their questions, you’ll get a suggested meal plan. Sundays offer beef, chicken and turkey recipes, so you can decide which recipe is the best fit for your pup.

Sundays Food For Dogs will be shipped direct to your door, and you can store it in a cool, dry place. Sundays don’t require space in your fridge or freezer, and once opened, you’ll need to use the dog food within 6-7 weeks, or it will go bad.

If you’ve been following our search for the best dog food in the USA for Copper and Skye, you’ll know we typically feed fresh food to our Alaskan Klee Kai. But Sundays appealed to me because they make human-grade dog food in a dry dog food format.

I liked that Sundays has a thorough sign-up questionnaire that makes you feel like the pet food brand really cares about getting to know your dog, whether they’re a picky eater, struggle with food sensitivities, or you’ve had issues with your dog’s health.

Once I got my hands on Sundays, I was impressed by the family feel of the dog food brand, with lots of great information about their dog food delivery service in my first box. Seeing as Sundays For Dogs is ready to serve, it would have been nice to have a customized scooper to take the brainwork out of getting the portions right.

As dry dog food, I loved that Sundays could be stored in the cupboard to save fridge and freezer space, but I still had peace of mind knowing it didn’t contain artificial additives.

Copper and Skye really enjoyed their Sundays’ dog food, partly because it has a treat-like texture and there’s a really high protein content (90% meat) in their dry dog food.

I found that my Alaskan Klee Kai loved the beef and chicken recipes, but Copper and Skye showed less interest in the turkey recipe. They did consistently eat it for 18 months.

Having paid for and tested a lot of dog food delivery services, I believe Sundays is still a decent value: I paid $218 a month to feed Sundays to Copper and Skye. However, my Sundays price has risen from $138 to $184, and then $184 to $218 in 2026.

Maev Raw Dog Food

Maev offers pet owners the chance to feed a raw dog food diet to their pets in a convenient, hassle-free way, thanks to their range of frozen raw meals. They use only USDA-approved lean meat, along with fresh fruit and vegetables and superfoods, in recipes formulated by veterinary nutritionists.

At the time of writing, Maev offers beef, chicken and lamb recipes in 2026, with the latter a recent addition to the menu. They’ve got variety packs if you’d like to try all three.

You can start your Maev journey by filling out their questionnaire, which isn’t clearly displayed on their website, but you can access it by using their chat feature. Alternatively, you can head to the “shop” section of their website and make your purchase.

Maev has different formulations to target specific health conditions: Weight & Digestion, Anxiety & Calming, Skin & Coat, and Hip & Joint. You can also buy their bone broth and supplement bars separately or bundle them together with the raw dog food.

Once you’ve placed your order, your Maev raw dog food will be shipped direct to your door, and you’ll need to store it in the freezer until you’re ready to serve it to your dog. Maev doesn’t need to be thawed, and you can serve your pup frozen, which is extremely convenient compared to other raw and fresh dog foods.

I’ve had the chance to feed raw dog food to Copper and Skye in the past when we lived in the UK, but I found my Alaskan Klee Kai didn’t really take to raw dog food, and I found it messy to deal with. I liked that Maev is more akin to frozen fresh dog food rather than traditional raw dog food.

To my surprise, Skye and Copper absolutely loved Maev’s raw dog food. Skye is a fussy eater with a sensitive stomach, and she is really particular about her pet food. However, Skye loved eating Maev. She showed a lot of mealtime excitement, jumping up on me, tail wagging, spinning in excitement and finishing her bowl every time.

How does Maev compare to The Farmer's Dog?
We took a look at these two dog food brands.

When I opened the bag, I could clearly see the frozen meat chunks, fruit and vegetables. It felt good to know Copper and Skye were eating human-grade dog food. While Copper and Skye finished their bowls for the first few weeks, their picky ways returned, and my Klee Kai started to eat the meat but left the fruit and veg.

I loved being able to serve Maev directly from the freezer, and I noticed that Copper slowed down his eating while munching on their frozen raw meals. Maev adds that frozen meals help with dental hygiene too.

When comparing Maev to other dog food delivery services, I felt it’s competitively priced. I pay $224 every month for Copper and Skye’s meals, which I consider to be very reasonable. But ultimately, I didn’t stick with Maev because of Copper and Skye’s pickiness. But your dog might be different!

Wrapping Up: Our Final Thoughts

We’ve reached the end of our article comparing Sundays and Maev. I’ve tried and tested both of these brands and their dog food recipes with great success.

Ultimately, I believe Sundays are the best choice because it kept my Alaskan Klee Kai dogs food-motivated at mealtime, unlike Maev’s raw food.

If you want to give raw feeding a try, you may want to try Maev, whose dog food delivery service has made raw diets really accessible to dog owners.

However, for dog owners who want to stick with dry food but want a high-nutrition option, Sundays are a great choice.

We don’t currently feed Sundays or Maev to Copper and Skye. We made the switch to We Feed Raw with great success.
