My dog—Nico—is my child. I go to great lengths to take care of him. Yearly shots? Yep. Multiple walks a day? No doubt. But when it came to the highest quality, all-natural food? This Dog Dad simply couldn’t afford it.
I figured most dog food was good enough for my good boy (lots of my friend’s dogs eat the store-bought stuff, after all), but it wasn’t until Nico started to become lethargic and a little too pudgy that I really started to pay attention to the labels.
Turns out that most dry dog food is full of fillers, byproducts (whatever that means), and ingredients I can’t even pronounce. That’s when I knew it was time to overhaul Nico’s diet. Now that I have, I’m never going back.
Here’s how to get the best nutrition for your furry friend without breaking the bank:
Step 1: Order Sundays for Dogs Natural Dog Food
I scoured the internet for what felt like days before coming across Sundays and—after seeing their 600+ 5-star reviews—was kind of shocked I hadn’t heard of them before.
Sundays makes their dog food with human-grade meat, fruit, and veggies to meet the nutritional levels established by AAFCO. Because they reach these nutritional standards naturally through a careful balance of ingredients in their recipes, their food contains NONE of the synthetic vitamins and additives found in most other dog foods.
But the niftiest part? Sundays Dog Food is air-dried, which means it’s more nutritionally dense than perishable fresh-cooked dog food alternatives, and up to 36% cheaper because it doesn’t need to be cold-shipped.
Pricing varies depending on how much you order, but it’s super competitive: Sundays is only $59 per 40 oz bag with a 4-month subscription, and free shipping is included!
Step 2:
No Step 2. All you have to do is switch to Sundays. Here’s why:
You get recommendations based on your dog’s needs
All dogs are different. Sundays gets this and lets us customize Nico’s plan based on factors like his age, breed, activity level, sensitivities, and more.
All I had to do was take a 60-second quiz before ordering, and Sundays recommended which food was best for him. They even gave us a feeding calculation to determine the right amount to feed him every day. Sundays made the whole process effortless!
It’s great for picky eaters
Nico is definitely spoiled, and that has turned him into a picky eater. My wife and I were constantly trying different kibble toppers to get him to eat his food, all of which contained extra calories the little guy definitely didn’t need.
Luckily, now that we’ve switched to Sundays, Nico doesn’t need anything else. Whether it’s the chicken, beef, or turkey mix, he legit licks his bowl clean.
That’s probably because Sundays' air-drying process not only preserves nutrients, it also locks in flavors that other brands lose by cooking their dog food.
It’s perfect for when you’re on the go
My wife and I love exploring DC and the surrounding area, so we knew that Nico’s new food had to be something that was easy to take with us. Thankfully, Sundays is shelf-stable and ready to eat right out of the box.
We don’t need to worry about having a fridge or freezer when traveling, and I can easily toss Sundays in my bag without worrying about it spoiling. Sundays’ air-drying process eliminates pathogens, so (unlike freeze-dried raw or frozen dog foods) there’s no food safety or handling risk.
It also stays fresh for weeks after opening, so we never have to worry about being wasteful when we’re on the go!
Nico’s puppy-like energy is back
I was nervous that overhauling Nico’s diet would be a long and complicated process, but Sundays made it so easy.
Ever since we switched, Nico is running around like a puppy again, which has helped him lose that extra weight! I’ve even noticed that his coat is softer and shiner, which is a nice plus!
Seeing our dog look forward to mealtime and get back to his playful, energetic self has made us Sundays customers for life!
