Feeding & Transition

Your dog's exact feeding guidance depends on the details we collect during signup, including age, weight, breed, activity level, body condition, and the recipe you choose.

If you're still deciding, you can use our feeding guide for a rough estimate. As a general starting point, many dogs do well with about 1/4 Cup per every 10 pounds of body weight, but your pup's actual recommendation may be different.

Before you buy, you'll see your dog's personalized feeding guidance at the end of our signup flow. After purchase, you can always find the latest recommendation in your account.

You can absolutely feed Sundays by cup if that's easiest for your routine.

If you like to be extra precise, measuring by weight is the most accurate option. As a general rule, one cup of Sundays is about 4.2 ounces by weight, though piece size can vary a bit from bag to bag.

Your personalized feeding guidance is still the best reference for your pup's plan.

Sundays is a nutrient-dense food, so many dogs eat less volume of it than they did with their previous food.

That lower volume does not automatically mean your dog is getting less nutrition. It usually means each bite is more nutrient dense than what you may be used to.

If your dog seems hungry, is losing weight, or you think the plan needs adjustment, use the personalized guidance in your account as your baseline and then make updates from there or contact the care team for help.

Switching foods can take a little patience, and softer stool during the transition is common while your dog's system adjusts.

We recommend a ten-day transition: Days 1–3 feed 25% Sundays and 75% of the old food; Days 4–6 feed 50% Sundays and 50% old food; Days 7–9 feed 75% Sundays and 25% old food; Day 10 and beyond feed 100% Sundays.

Some dogs do better with an even slower transition. If your dog seems uncomfortable, go back to the previous step and move more gradually.

It is common for stool to be a little softer during a food transition, especially in the early days. That does not necessarily mean something is wrong.

If your dog's stool becomes too soft, slow the transition down and repeat the previous step for a little longer before increasing the percentage of Sundays again.

A very dark brown stool can still be normal. But if your dog's stool is truly black, sticky, or accompanied by other signs of illness, contact your veterinarian promptly.

Sundays has a soft, jerky-like texture.

Because the food is made from real ingredients and the pieces are not uniform like extruded kibble, size can vary from piece to piece.

For dogs with dental discomfort or limited teeth, some parents soften the food with a little warm water or dog-friendly low-sodium broth.

Sealed bags of Sundays stay fresh for up to 12 months. Once opened, the food is best used within 8 weeks.

Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from heat, vents, and moisture. Climate and humidity can affect shelf life.

If you ever notice a spoilage concern, reach out with the lot number from the bag and clear photos so the care team can help.
