For All the Good Boys and Girls

This brand of dog food beats traditional kibbles 39-0 in a third-party taste test. What's your pup waiting for?

Sundays is no regular dog food. Their recipes stick to a short list of human-grade meats, fruits, and vegetables to ensure dogs are fed to a higher standard. And unlike other human-grade dog foods, Sundays needs no fridge, no prep, no cleanup, and no hassle. Just pour into a bowl and watch your pup devour it. Because every batch is made and air-dried in the US for over 11 hours, these tasty jerky-style pieces retain maximum nutrition to help your dog look and feel its best (while loving what they are eating).

It's time to try the Sundays challenge: let your pup decide between Sundays and your current dog food. We’re pretty sure we know who’s going to win. Enjoy 40% off your first order with code FLYOVER
