Yumwoof vs. Sundays for Dogs: Who Wins?

Good ingredients matter. So does being able to feed your dog when you’re running late, juggling dinner or heading out the door.

Sundays for Dogs and Yumwoof take different approaches to feeding dogs. Before deciding which is better for your furry friend, let’s compare the brands’ stories, food offerings, and approach to mealtime.

About the Brands

Yumwoof

Yumwoof’s story began in 2008, when a New York City chef’s pooch fell ill. According to the brand, that prompted him to rethink what he was putting in his dog’s bowl. With guidance from a veterinarian and pet nutritionist, he got cooking and developed a formula that eventually became Yumwoof Natural Pet Food.

Today, Yumwoof’s lineup goes beyond ready-to-serve meals. The brand offers air-dried complete meals, DIY mixes and supplements. Check which you’re buying: some are dinner on their own, while others need additional ingredients or belong alongside your dog’s regular food.

Sundays for Dogs

Sundays for Dogs' story began with Dr. Tory Waxman’s search for a better way to feed her own dogs. As a veterinarian, she cared about what went into their bowls. As a busy dog parent, she wanted an option that didn’t require cooking every meal from scratch.

With her husband, Michael, she turned that idea into Sundays for Dogs. Together, they built the brand around food Sundays describes as human-grade, vet-formulated and easy to serve. As parents themselves, they wanted to make mealtime one less thing to juggle, which is why Sundays is a company made by parents, for parents.

Ingredients

Put the brands aside for a second, and let’s look at the recipes, because this is where Sunday for Dogs vs. Yumwoof heats up.

For this comparison, we’re looking specifically at Sundays’ Beef Recipe and Yumwoof’s Perfect Kibble Beef Pot Roast. A look at their recipes shows where the two brands differ.

Sundays’ Dog Food Ingredients - Beef Recipe

Beef, Beef Liver, Beef Bone Meal, Sunflower Meal, Flaxseed Meal, Quinoa Seed, Pumpkin, Parsley, Zucchini, Salt, Dried Kelp, Ginger, Kale, Turmeric, Mixed Tocopherols (Preservative), Selenium Yeast, Nutrients (sourced from Carrot, Apple, Tomato, Shiitake Mushroom, Broccoli, Spinach, Red Beet, Cherry, Strawberry, Blueberry)

Yumwoof Ingredients - Perfect Kibble Beef Pot Roast

Fresh Pasture-Raised Beef, Whole Eggs, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Coconut Glycerin, Organic Flaxseed, Carrots, Gluten-Free Oats, Blueberries, Cranberries, Chia Seeds, Seaweed, Beef Liver, Pumpkin, Sea Salt, Natural Flavor, Vitamins and Minerals (E, D3, B1, B2, B12, Calcium, Phosphate, Iron, Copper, Manganese, Zinc, Iodine), Apple Cider Vinegar

Both recipes list beef first, but Sundays is the more meat-dense option, with beef muscle, liver and bone meal at the top of its ingredients list. Yumwoof pairs beef with eggs and coconut, with organ meat appearing farther down the list.

Sundays relies on whole foods to provide nutrients, and contains no fillers or synthetics, while Yumwoof includes an added vitamin blend, coconut glycerin and “natural flavor.” For dog parents who prefer a recipe built around meat and whole-food nutrition, Sundays takes this round.

Manufacturing & Serving

Mealtime is pretty simple with either brand. Neither brand’s air-dried meals need cooking or thawing before serving. Both give you an easy pantry-to-bowl option. The differences are in how and where the food is made.

Sundays for Dogs air-dries its meals at low temperatures and makes them in USDA-monitored, human-grade facilities in the Midwest. The finished food has a soft, jerky-like texture, and the food-making process is part of the approach to convenient, ready-to-serve meals.

Yumwoof also offers air-dried meals, but also includes a separate DIY Mix, which requires you to add your own protein. Yumwoof says its foods are made in Spain, with ingredients sourced from nearby farms.

Both brands offer ready-to-serve air-dried meals, so convenience alone doesn’t separate them. For dog parents who prefer food made in the United States, Sundays gets our vote.
