How To Switch To Sundays

Transition Timeline

  1. Day 1-3

    For the first 3 Days, start with just a bit (25%) of Sundays for Dogs mixed into your dog’s old food (75%).

  2. Day 4-6

    From Day 4 through Day 6, you should be serving 50% Sundays, 50% old food.

  3. Day 7-9

    From Day 7 through Day 9, you should be serving more Sundays (75%) than their old food (25%).

  4. Day 10+

    On Day 10, you should be serving 100% Sundays. By Day 30, you and your pup may see a shinier coat, more energy, and better (often smaller) poops!

Daily Feeding Guide

Dog’s Weight Daily Amount
Under 10 lbs 1/4 - 1/2 cup
10-25 lbs 1/2 - 1 cup

Small Bites is recommended for dogs under 20 lbs.

These are general guidelines, not one-size-fits-all rules. Every dog is different, so serving amounts can vary based on age, activity level, and body condition. Once you sign up, we'll use the information you provide to recommend how much Sundays for Dogs to serve your dog each day.

Please note that unlike fresh or frozen food, there's no need to be precise to the ounce with Sundays. Our recipes are forgiving, flexible, and easy to adjust.

How It Works

  1. Order your trial box

    Your first bag has a 14-day supply and ships right away, arriving in 3-5 days. Free shipping, always.

  2. Start the transition

    Mix a little Sundays in with your dog's current food for the first week. Most dogs need 7-10 days to fully transition.

  3. Never run out

    We ship before you run out so your pup is never without food. Edit frequency anytime.

Why Air-Dried Matters

Gentle on Nutrients

Sundays is gently air-dried at low temperatures to preserve nutrients and taste. No high heat, no freezing. Our low-and-slow process locks in the flavor and nutrition of real ingredients.

Simply Synthetic-Free

No synthetic vitamin or mineral premixes. Sundays’ nutrients come from real ingredients like human-grade meats and veggies with no synthetic additives. The only preservative is a natural one, mixed tocopherols, which provide vitamin E derived from vegetables.

Forget the Fridge

Our air-drying method includes a kill step that eliminates dangerous pathogenic bacteria, for safe, nutrient-dense food that doesn’t need a fridge or freezer. No thawing, no mess. Store it on a shelf, scoop it into the bowl, and you’re done.

Why pet parents love it:

Beef Small Bites Is Recommended For...

Active small dogs & puppies

Beef's high protein and iron content supports sustained energy for small dogs that are always on the go - Yorkies, Jack Russells, Chihuahuas.

Dogs that struggle with larger pieces

The 8mm rounded piece is sized for smaller muzzles and jaw structures. No more pushing food around the bowl or leaving pieces behind.

Parents who read ingredient labels

Beef and pumpkin. Every ingredient is real, human-grade, and recognizable. No meat meals, no synthetics.

Don’t Just Take Our Word for It.

We ran an independent taste test of Sundays Chicken Recipe vs. a leading kibble brand. Dogs chose Sundays 39-0. 39 dogs. 0 rejections. If your dog has turned their nose up at everything else, this is worth trying.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I switched from Blue Buffalo Small Breed because I kept reading the ingredient list and not recognizing half of it. Sundays Small Bites is different. Beef, beef heart, pumpkin. I know what every single thing is.

Same quality I've trusted for my big dog, now in the right size for my little one. Both dogs are on Sundays now. The small bites are adorable and my Maltese loves them.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Our vet mentioned that the kibble pieces were too large for our Chihuahua's jaw. We switched to Small Bites and he's been eating comfortably ever since. The size difference is real and it matters.

Vet-founded. Not just vet‑approved.

Dr Tory Waxman holding a dog

“I created Sundays because I was frustrated seeing dogs fed food I would never recommend as a vet. Every recipe starts with a question I ask myself: would I feed this to my own dog? The answer has to be yes before it goes in the bag.”

Our Regular Beef recipe uses the same formula in a larger piece size.

Questions About Beef?

Is this recipe complete and balanced?

Yes. All four Sundays recipes are formulated to be complete and balanced according to AAFCO nutritional standards for all life stages, including growth of large size dogs (70 lbs. or more as an adult).

How is air-dried different from kibble or raw?

Air-drying uses gentle, low heat over time to remove moisture while preserving natural nutrients and flavor. Unlike kibble, there's no high-heat extrusion that degrades nutrition. Unlike raw or freeze-dried raw, our air-drying process includes a kill step that eliminates pathogens so there's no food safety risk and no refrigeration required.

Can I mix recipes?

Absolutely. Many Sundays families rotate between recipes or mix two together. There's no nutritional reason not to. All four recipes are complete and balanced on their own.

How long does it stay fresh?

Before opening: approximately 12 months. After opening: at least 6-8 weeks. No refrigeration needed.

Is beef right for a dog with a sensitive stomach?

Beef is a moderate-fat protein that most dogs digest well. If your dog has a known beef sensitivity or allergy, our Turkey recipe may be a better fit. Turkey is a novel protein that tends to be gentler on sensitive digestive systems. Not sure? Take the quiz and we'll help you decide.
