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.
