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

Last Updated on May 14, 2026 by Kieran Beckles

I put Sundays and Open Farm to the test on my two Alaskan Klee Kai dogs to see which my picky eater preferred. In this comparison, I discuss the ingredients, price, convenience, and my Klee Kai’s verdict.

I’ve fed both Sundays For Dogs and Open Farm to my Alaskan Klee Kai Copper and Skye, seeing firsthand some of the pros and cons of these dog food brands.

Sundays is a great option if you’ve decided that air-dried pet food is your preferred format, and you’re looking for a competitive price.

However, Open Farm offers more variety with regards to formats and proteins, while they’re peerless when it comes to sustainability and transparency.

If you’re part of our Life With Klee Kai community or you’re familiar with Copper and Skye, you’ll know that they’ve struggled with sensitive tummies in the past.

Skye, in particular, is sensitive to low-quality dog food and can be a picky eater. Her preference was Sundays, and we continued with them for almost 18 months.

Sundays Or Open Farm: My Verdict

If you’ve already done your research on Sundays and Open Farm, and you just want to hear my verdict, I’ll cut right to the chase.

My choice would be Sundays For Dogs because Skye and Copper loved their air-dried food despite being picky eaters with food sensitivities. It speaks to the flavor and quality of their dog food that Copper and Skye didn’t hesitate at mealtime on Sundays.

I observed that Copper and Skye really enjoyed the jerky-like texture of Sundays and showed excitement at mealtime when they saw the Sundays box come out of the cupboard.

While I initially planned to feed Sundays to my Alaskan Klee Kai for the duration of a box to test it out, I’ve actually ended up ordering Sundays again and again as a tasty topper to their frozen meals.

Open Farm offers an impressive range of pet food formats. For the purposes of this article, we’re looking at their air-dried food. Both Open Farm and Sundays have recipes.

Sundays asks pet owners to fill out a sign-up questionnaire and provide a custom meal plan. Open Farm doesn’t. They rely on dog parents to follow their feeding guidelines rather than a custom plan.

That said, Open Farm is available at pet stores. This provides a level of instant convenience, considering you can go to the store today and pick up their food. However, Sundays offers the convenience of delivering your dog’s food to your home.

There isn’t an awful lot of difference in price, should you decide to buy from Open Farm’s website. When I priced out how many Open Farm bags I’d need, the total came to $215. Sundays came in $3 more at $218 a month.

Open Farm’s dry food is a good option if you’re ready to ditch regular kibble in favor of something healthier. I’ve had a good experience with Open Farm, and I really admire their sustainable and transparent approach.

But if I had to recommend one of these dry food brands, it would be Sundays For Dogs, based on my success feeding their air-dried food to Copper and Skye over a long period.

Sundays For Dogs

Sundays For Dogs is one of the leading customized air-dried dog food brands in the USA. They created a range to provide pet owners with an affordable, convenient option for feeding fresh food without the hassle of frozen meals.

Sundays is made with only human-grade ingredients, so you won’t find any artificial additives, unhealthy preservatives or nasties, unlike traditional pet food. Their slow air-drying method preserves nutrients and the flavors of all the ingredients in their human-grade dog food.

They have a high protein content in their meals, unlike many fresh food meals. I’m convinced the high-meat content helped entice my picky eater, Skye, to finish her food regularly.

Sundays offers three recipes: beef, chicken and turkey. I’m disappointed Sundays hasn’t expanded its range in 2026, continuing with the same three recipes since our first order back in 2023. The only things that have changed are the marketing and the packaging.

Sundays will ask owners to share key details about their dogs, such as age, breed, weight, activity level, eating habits, past pet food and general health, to tailor its air-dried dog food to your pup. Most dog food subscriptions do this, but not every brand.

When I first ordered Sundays, we used it alongside The Farmer’s Dog. However, we decided to switch to We Feed Raw at the start of 2025. We use Sundays as an occasional topper.

Do we recommend Sundays or We Feed Raw?
Here's what we would suggest if you've got a picky dog.

Copper and Skye really enjoy the treat-like texture, whether I use it as a tasty topper on their regular meals or as a training treat. This is still the case in 2026.

As I mentioned earlier, Skye is a fussy eater, but she didn’t get bored with Sundays, to my surprise. My female Klee Kai consistently finished her Sunday portions, making sure Copper couldn’t muscle his way to her bowl (like he usually tries!).

From a dog owner’s perspective, I really liked being able to keep the Sundays box in the cupboard rather than the mess left in the fridge by half-used, open dog food packets.

My Sundays price has changed over the year. When I first placed an order in 2023, I paid $140. The price had crept up to $184 by the time I purchased their food in 2025. When I rechecked my subscription price for 2026, I was quoted $218.

Having reviewed over 30 different brands, Sundays’ pricing seems to be in line with a lot of dog food subscriptions, but it’s not as affordable as it once was.

Open Farm

Open Farm is a versatile dog food company who are trying to raise the bar with regards to pet food. In this comparison article, I’ll be looking at Open Farm’s air-dried food.

Open Farm offers a lot of variety, even within their dry dog food range. You can avail of grain, grain-free, raw mix and ancient grains if you want to try something a little different.

At the current time, Open Farm have three air-dried recipes: Chicken, Surf & Turf and Pollock. So that’s two seafood recipes, which might not appeal to every dog.

They responsibly source all the human-grade ingredients in their dog food, such as grass-fed beef, from family farms in the USA. You can track each ingredient from the source to your dog’s bowl.

Just like Sundays, Open Farm doesn’t use any additives, nasties or preservatives in their recipes. For instance, the Grass Fed Beef hasn’t been pumped with antibiotics or hormones.

Open Farm doesn’t offer the same level of customization as Sundays For Dogs, so you’ll need to refer to the feeding guidelines to get your dog’s portions right. You can head to the Open Farm website and select different sizes of dog food bags to suit your needs, and your dog food will be shipped directly to your door for free.

How does Open Farm compare to We Feed Raw?
You can read my comparison article.

They have a sustainable approach to their business, which allows dog owners to feel good about choosing their pet food because it promotes their dog’s health and the planet’s health.

Skye and Copper were happy to give Open Farm a go, but I found that they didn’t show quite the same mealtime excitement. I noticed that Skye and Copper adopted a grazing approach to Open Farm, where they’d have a few mouthfuls on and off throughout the day rather than wolfing it down.

How does Open Farm compare to Maev?
We wrote a review of both brands here.

From my perspective as a dog owner, I really liked the way Open Farm uses only human-grade ingredients from responsible farmers, its transparent approach that allows me to track the fresh ingredients’ journey from source to bowl, and how my Klee Kai’s meals are made.

Open Farm cost $215 to make a one-time purchase of their air-dried food. You can save if you decide to become a subscriber. Alternatively, you can find their food at your local pet store.
