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
26-50 lbs 1 - 1 3/4 cups
51-75 lbs 1 3/4 - 2 1/2 cups
76-100 lbs 2 1/2 - 3 1/4 cups
Over 100 lbs 3 1/4+ cups

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:

Chicken Is Recommended For...

Dogs managing their weight

Chicken's lower fat content makes it the right choice for dogs that need to lose weight or maintain a healthy body condition.

Senior or less active dogs

Lower fat and lean protein is easier on aging metabolisms and digestive systems, and supports healthy weight in dogs that have slowed down.

Dogs that need an immunity boost

Chicken is rich in selenium, zinc, and vitamins B6 and B12. Nutrients that support immune function and overall vitality.

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

Our vet told us Charlie needed to lose 8 pounds. We switched to Chicken and adjusted his portions. Six months later he's at his target weight and more active than he's been in years.

I chose Chicken because of the lower fat content. My senior girl doesn't need a lot of calories but she needs great nutrition. This hits exactly the right balance.

The ingredient list is what got me. Chicken, chicken liver, egg, millet. I recognize everything. No weird stuff. My vet approved it immediately.

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.”

Questions About Chicken?

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 chicken lower in calories than beef or turkey?

Chicken is a good choice for dogs that need to manage their weight or for less active dogs that don't need the higher energy density of Beef. That said, the right portion size matters more than the recipe choice. Use the feeding guide above as a starting point and adjust based on your dog's body condition.
