Turn the bag around
Presented by Sundays For Dogs
Most dog food marketing lives on the front of the bag. Sundays For Dogs wants you to read the back.
Sundays was founded by Dr. Tory, a veterinarian who wanted something better for her own dog, Mabel. Every recipe is made with over 80% real meat and nutrient-rich extracts of fruits, vegetables, seeds, and grains — complete and balanced nutrition for every life stage. If an ingredient sounds like it came from a chemistry lab, it’s not in the bag.
Our readers might be surprised by what is (and isn’t) inside — see the label for yourself and get 30% off your first order with Sundays For Dogs.
