Sundays vs Tally’s Ranch (2026): Which Dog Food Is Better?

Last Updated on May 18, 2026 by Kieran Beckles

I tested Sundays For Dogs and Tally’s Ranch on my Alaskan Klee Kai to see which my picky eater preferred. In this comparison review, we look at ingredients, price, convenience, my fussy dog’s verdict, and which I’d recommend to other dog owners.

There’s so much choice if you’re ready to ditch traditional pet food in favor of a dog food subscription company, but it can also be overwhelming due to the wide range of options. Sundays and Tally’s Ranch provide pet owners with a convenient option that doesn’t require fridge or freezer space.

Sundays have an air-dried range that we found perfect for a picky eater like Skye, thanks to its high meat content and treat-like texture. While their prices have risen, Sundays remains good value if you’re looking for a personalized meal plan.

Tally’s Ranch is much newer to the market, with a freeze-dried range. They provide some of the benefits of raw food with the convenience of dry food. So if you’ve been considering raw food, Tally’s Ranch is a good entrance point.

In this article, I’m going to compare Tally’s Ranch and Sundays For Dogs based on my experience using these two pet food subscription services to feed Copper and Skye during a month-long test. I’ll start by sharing my verdict on the best choice, then take a closer look at each brand to showcase its offerings.

Sundays For Dogs vs Tally’s Ranch: Our Verdict

Let’s get right down to business. Who do we recommend? We like Tally’s Ranch, but Sundays would be our recommendation based on our experience.

Tally’s Ranch appealed to me because they offer freeze-dried raw, and my dogs love raw dog food, so I was intrigued to see how they’d find freeze-dried.

They only have two recipes: beef and chicken. Sundays do offer turkey alongside beef and chicken. So they’ve got ever-so-slightly more variety.

While Skye and Copper enjoyed Tally’s Ranch, I’ve recommended Sundays because of our consistently good experience with their air-dried food.

My Klee Kai dogs always finished the beef and chicken recipes on Sundays, proving a hit with my mini huskies for the best part of two years.

While both brands offer customized meals, neither provides a custom scooper like UnKibble. That’s one area I’d love to see both brands improve on.

We use Sundays as a table topper on their We Feed Raw meals, and we like to break the jerky-like Sundays food in half and use it for walks, training treats and scent games.

It was difficult to put Tally’s Ranch to the same use purely because of the texture. That said, we could use it as a topper and for scent work, but it just can’t be broken in two.

Sundays is marginally cheaper than Tally’s Ranch, but the difference is small. Sundays cost me $218 a month, which is $ 1 more than Tally’s Ranch.

I have noticed a steady increase in my Sunday subscription cost since first ordering their food in 2023. It’s gone from $140 to $184 to $218.

Who Is Sundays?

Sundays For Dogs is one of the most popular dry food brands in the USA, thanks to its air-dried recipes, convenient food and competitive pricing.

They use human-grade ingredients, such as USDA meat, vegetables, minerals and vitamins, in recipes customized to meet your pup’s needs. I appreciated that I could recognize all the ingredients in their recipes.

Sundays offer three recipes: chicken, beef and turkey. Copper and Skye liked beef and chicken but weren’t big fans of the turkey recipe.

I’d like to see more variety, especially since their range hasn’t changed since I first reviewed their air-dried food back in 2023. Some of their competitors, such as Maev, have added new proteins.

While Sundays do get pet owners to fill out a sign-up questionnaire, it’s unclear how much customization is involved. You don’t get a custom scooper.

This is a feature I’d like to see Sundays (and Tally’s Ranch) include in the future to remove the hassle of using kitchen utensils to measure out portions.

Having said that, I like the convenience of Sundays because they serve a dual function: mealtime food and training treats. I often grab a handful for our daily walk. We also use it as a topper.

Sundays remains a good value option if you’re looking to feed balanced and complete meals without breaking the bank. I paid $218 for a month’s supply.

I will point out that Sundays originally cost me $138 back in 2023. So that’s an increase of $80 over three years.

Overall, I still recommend Sundays because their air-dried food satisfied Skye for over 18 months. She consistently ate it, so I know they’re a good option for fussy dogs.

Who is Tally’s Ranch?

Tally’s Ranch is a newly launched dog food company that has created a range of freeze-dried raw recipes. It was founded by a former Farmer’s Dog employee.

Tally's Ranch or The Farmer's Dog?
We answer that question here.

They use a freeze-drying process to lock in the nutritional goodness of the ingredients used in their recipes. This includes 70% USDA-sourced meat.

Tally’s Ranch never uses additives, fillers or preservatives. They rely on human-grade food to ensure your dog is eating a balanced and complete diet.

You can choose from two recipes – beef and chicken – when you complete their sign-up questionnaire. Tally’s Ranch doesn’t supply a custom scooper.

Despite filling in details about your dog, Tally’s Ranch still lacks some customization. You’ll need to follow their feeding guidelines to get portions correct.

Copper and Skye finished their Tally’s Ranch meals throughout the trial subscription plan. It was a hit with my picky eater during that sample period.

When we retested their food in 2026, we found our mini huskies enjoyed it more as a topper on their frozen raw meals rather than a main meal.

Tally’s Ranch costs $219 a month to feed my Klee Kai, which is cheaper than fresh and raw dog food brands. It’s more affordable than some dry food brands, too.

This is a slight increase from $171 when we first reviewed their food back in early 2025. We’ve noticed a shift in pricing across the board with pet food brands this year.
