Subscriber Stars

At Sundays for Dogs, our mission is to make it easier to be an awesome dog parent. We do that by providing pet parents across the US with shelf-stable, human-grade dog food to keep their pups happy and healthy. Don’t just take our word for it – listen to what real subscribers have to say about Sundays. 

“Our boy was a very picky eater with a sensitive stomach when we adopted him. He started to get tumors when he was older. After he had his 4th tumor removed we decided at his age we should stop putting him through surgery. Another one started growing on his neck and shortly after, we switched to Sundays. He loved the food and two months later, I realized the tumor was gone!”

• Natalie, Parent to Roscoe the Boxer

“Our pup loves Sundays. He had experienced numerous bladder infections which our vet couldn’t diagnose. He’s been on Sundays for 3 ½ months and no bladder infections! Hope it continues as [we are] saving big $ on vet visits.”

• Robert, Parent to Sammy the Shih Tzu

“Sandie at Purina Pro Plan until she was 1 year old. After she got a bit older, she became picky and wouldn’t eat her food. We tried a lot of different foods. Eventually, we found Sundays and she ate it. She likes the food and it keeps her belly full. She has maintained her weight and energy. Sandie would throw up bile in between meals, especially in the morning. After switching to Sundays, she stopped that. That food stays with her and she poops good.”

• Joe, Parent to Sandie the Goldendoodle

“My little Cockapoo absolutely got so excited at the first taste of Sundays food, which was a relief for me. It has been a breeze transitioning her over from her old food. I now feel better knowing that Stella is getting quality ingredients and better nutritionally sourced food that is convenient to use.”

• Cissy, Parent to Stella Mae the Cockapoo
