Sundays Food For Dogs Pros And Cons: Honest Review And Results

Last Updated on December 30, 2025 by Kieran Beckles

Are you considering a switch to Sundays For Dogs, but you want an honest review of their air-dried dog food?

I purchased Sundays before testing it on my Alaskan Klee Kai dogs to find out firsthand whether Sundays’ dog food is worth it.

Skye is a picky eater, but she enjoyed Sunday’s treat-like texture and showed great enthusiasm for their dry food. Copper is food motivated, so he loved it!

Sundays offers air-dried recipes to give pet parents a healthy alternative to regular kibble or wet food, while it’s more affordable than fresh dog food. It hits a sweet spot for many pet owners.

However, Sundays does cost more than kibble and doesn’t offer as wide a range of recipes as some of their other dry dog food brands I’ve reviewed over the past eight years.

We’ve ordered from Sundays every year since our initial review, and I’ll share my pros and cons in this article, along with whether we’ll continue to order from Sundays.

Sundays For Dogs Pros

Air Dried

By air drying their recipes, Sundays are able to protect the nutritional integrity of the ingredients and lock in extra flavor. This can help when it comes to picky eaters like my Alaskan Klee Kai dogs.

As a dog owner, I like knowing Copper and Skye are eating healthy dog food that has been gently air-dried rather than cooked at harsh temperatures.

Skye has a sensitive tummy but she hasn’t experienced any issues while eating Sundays. She’s eaten their air-dried food many times over the years without any problems.

Although I’m not a qualified nutritionist or vet, I’ve reviewed some dog food that has unsettled her tummy. But Sundays seemed gentle on her digestive system, as we didn’t experience any stomach upsets.

Fresh ingredients

Having carefully read the ingredient labels on all the Sundays For Dogs boxes, I felt great knowing that they use fresh ingredients I recognize and would even eat as part of my diet.

For instance, they use USDA beef in their beef recipe, alongside fresh fruit such as cranberries and apples, and vegetables like broccoli and spinach. These are ingredients we all recognize!

Sundays have a transparent approach to their business, which is great. Their labels are clear and simple, which provided me with confidence that Copper and Skye are eating a high-quality diet.

No nasties

I also have peace of mind knowing that Sundays don’t use any additives, nasties or preservatives in their recipes. As I mentioned above, you can clearly see the ingredients listed on the side of the box and on the bag.

Seeing as Skye has a sensitive tummy, this was important to me. As mentioned above, Skye was in good health throughout her Sundays subscription.

We noticed Copper’s flatulence appeared to reduce over time while eating Sundays. In the past, when we’ve fed traditional kibble, he gets bad gas. This wasn’t the case once we switched to Sundays.

Customized

Sundays will create a custom subscription plan, tailoring your dog food to your dog’s specific needs based on the answers you give in the sign-up questionnaire.

I found this process really simple, and I appreciated being able to include Copper and Skye in the same meal plan for convenience rather than having to create separate accounts, which is the case with some of their rivals.

Some dry dog food brands that I’ve reviewed such as Badlands Ranch don’t offer custom meal plans. So it’s a feature I never take for granted.

High meat content

Sundays’ dog food has a high meat content (90% according to their website). That’s a lot more than your typical dry dog food or wet food, and even some fresh dog food brands.

This really impressed me. Typically, I’d see 40-60% meat content in fresh dog food and dry dog food. I’m convinced the high meat content played a big part in Copper and Skye’s mealtime excitement.

Cheaper than fresh meals

Sundays claim on their website that their dog food is 36% cheaper than feeding fresh. I put this to the test, and it appears to be cheaper when compared to most fresh dog food subscription brands.

I saved around $70-$90 compared to some big-name brands.

I’ve written comparison articles that look at the prices of Sundays compared to other popular brands such as The Farmer’s Dog, Spot and Tango, We Feed Raw, and Ollie. Sundays is typically much cheaper!

Treat-like texture

Copper and Skye are often unsure about dry food but I believe they loved eating Sundays’ food because of the treat-like texture. This kept them motivated at mealtime.

I found Sundays could be used as a training treat or a treat for a walk as they’re sufficiently bite sized to fit in a treat bag or your pocket.

No fridge or freezer space required

Sundays can be stored in your cupboard provided you make sure to reseal the bag. This can save you mess and space in your fridge or freezer.

My wife was really happy to have her fridge and freezer back! There were no more half-opened meal pouches leaking fresh dog food on fridge shelves.

It is recommended that you finish your Sundays bag within seven weeks of opening it. So that’s something to keep in mind if you’re planning a vacation and have some Sundays to use up!

Simple to feed

All you need to do is scoop and serve Sundays’ food direct to their bowl. There are no meal pouches to defrost, cut open and squeeze.

While I like the benefits of fresh and raw, I’ll admit it gets messy at times. Sundays makes mealtime much easier and quicker than fresh dog food or raw dog food.

Once you’re done with the bag, you reseal and pop it into the cupboard. I loved the convenience of this pet food format.

Sundays For Dogs Cons

Three recipes

There are three Sundays’ dog food recipes: beef, chicken and turkey. While this is an acceptable variety, some dog owners may prefer more choice.

If you’ve got a picky eater like Skye, you may want to have more recipe variety to vary your dog’s meals. I’m disappointed Sundays haven’t expanded their recipe range since first reviewing their air-dried food back in 2023.

For example, We Feed Raw have over six recipes to cater to fussy eaters like my female Alaskan Klee Kai dog.

Premium dog food, premium price

While Sundays is cheaper than a lot of fresh dog food delivery companies, it’s still going to cost significantly more than regular kibble or wet dog food at your local supermarket or pet store.

This is something to keep in mind when you start the sign-up process with the air-dried dog food brand.

We typically pay around $140 a month for Copper and Skye. As I mentioned above, Sundays offers good value compared to many of the dog food brands that we’ve reviewed over the years. Only UnKibble comes close!

No customized scooper

Unlike some dry dog food brands, Sundays don’t include a personalized scooper. I think this would have been a nice addition to your first Sundays Food For Dogs box.

This is something I hope to see Sundays introduce in the future. We have seen other brands introduce a scooper, such as UnKibble, Ollie and Tally’s Ranch.

Seeing as I completed a questionnaire with both Copper and Skye’s details, I was a little unsure how customized the meals were to each dog.

There’s feeding guidelines to follow for each dog, but little else to tell the difference.

Is Sundays For Dogs Worth It?

Sundays For Dogs is worth the price because it transformed my picky eater into a food motivated dog in an affordable way.

We initially tested Sundays back in 2023, and Copper and Skye loved their air-dried dog food so much that we converted into permanent customers after our month trial ended.

My subscription price hasn’t increased since we first signed up to their meal plan, costing just under $140 a month.

I’ve reviewed over 30 dog food brands in the USA, and Sundays impressed with their competitive price and value.

You also get the convenience of dry food, meaning you don’t require freezer space, you don’t need to defrost meals, and there’s no mess.

If you’re unconvinced that your dog will eat dry food, I’d recommend starting with a trial subscription. You can get 50% off your first box to reduce the risk.

You can read more about why the cost of Sundays in my long article on the price of their food.

How We Tested Sundays For Dogs

We started by placing a trial order with Sundays back in 2023 to see if my Alaskan Klee Kai dogs would like their food.

We substituted their regular fresh food for Sundays with a short transition period before feeding only Sundays.

It was a success as Skye showed interest in their food throughout the month. Her appetite didn’t decrease, we didn’t experience tummy problems, and we noticed her poop size did seem to reduce (although I’m not a vet!).

We continue to feed Sundays so we’ve watched the brand grow and increase in popularity.

In the spirit of transparency, we now feed Sundays as a topper alongside their We Feed Raw meals.

This has been the combination that’s worked best for our Klee Kai dogs, with two textures to enjoy.

• Pet parents who don’t want a subscription plan
• Dogs who like a larger recipe range

A Day in the Life Feeding Sundays

Feeding Sundays is a breeze. We start by adding Sundays to Copper and Skye’s bowls using a 1/4 cup every morning after they’ve gone potty.

It’s easy to scoop, serve into their bowl, reseal the bag and pop it back in the cupboard. There’s no faff or mess.

We use Sundays as treats throughout the day. Typically I’d grab a handful for our daily walk to use if we see other dogs or wildlife.

Sundays’ air-dried dog food is flat and rigid, so it can easily be snapped in two if you want to conserve your supply. That’s what I usually do.

Copper and Skye eat twice a day so I repeat the same feeding routine in the evening.

Wrapping Up

We’ve reached the end of my Sundays’ dog food review, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of their human-grade dog food.

Overall, the pros comfortably outweigh the cons with Sundays Food For Dogs. My dogs loved their air-dried food, I liked the convenience and lack of mess, and I can’t argue with the price.

However, I’d love to see more recipes on offer in the future, and I’d be thrilled to see Sundays develop a custom scooper to make mealtime even easier.

If you want to adopt a fresh approach to pet nutrition without breaking the bank and without the hassle of fresh-frozen meals, it could be time to give Sundays a try.
