Why Air-Dried Is Better Than Kibble And Easier Than Frozen

Gentle on nutrients

Our low-and-slow air-drying process preserves the natural nutrition in every ingredient. No high-heat cooking that strips away what makes real food valuable.

Safe without synthetics

Air-drying eliminates dangerous pathogens without the synthetic preservatives most brands rely on. The result is safe, shelf-stable food with a clean ingredient list.

Scoop and serve

No fridge. No prep. No mess. Store it on a shelf, scoop it into the bowl, and you're done.

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.”

Have a larger dog too?

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.
