Sundays Air Dried Human Grade Dog Food - Better than cooked & kibble? Initial Impressions
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 лип 2020
- In this video, I go hands-on with Sundays Human Grade Air-Dried Dog Food. This new company is offering high quality, human-grade air-dried dog food as an alternative to premium kibble as well as cooked dog foods like Ollie, The Farmers Dog, Pet Plate, Nom Nom, and others.
So what makes it different? In my opinion, it differs in three ways. First, it is air-dried which allows it to be stored in a container or in your panty and not refrigerated. Very similar to a kibble you get convenience and little to no prep is required. While it is similar to kibble in this respect it is superior due to being air-dried. Air drying is superior to kibble production as it is gentler and uses less heat and maintains more nutrients, palatability and can be easily rehydrated.
In addition, Sundays recipe also differs from many kibbles in that it is a limited ingredient single animal protein recipe. This is great for those who are concerned about allergies as well as do not want to pay for high about of carbs as opposed to animal protein. Lastly is that it is free of anything artificial including synthetic vitamins and minerals which is a rarity amongst dog foods even human-grade dog foods.

The way I look at my dog food is pay it now with good quality food, or pay it later at the vet with allergies or other issues! I learned this the hard way 😔
100% this is a great way to look at it pays returns in the long run. Also I find higher quality food can be healthier in regards to weight and also have a smaller qty and supplement through natural chews.
Thank you! Great review 👍. Subscribed.
Awesome, thank you! best wishes to you and your pup.
I have spent so many hours researching cooked food, raw food, premium kibble and still couldn’t find the perfect food for my Barney. I wish I found this video a long time ago. Very informative and covered all the points. Very useful and subscribed! Just ordered Sunday’s as well!
Glad you found this video helpful, I do think for many owners looking for simple, high quality offering this Sundays continues to be a great choice especially if looking at a non DIY foods. Best of luck with the transition! Would love to hear your feedback on if you pup enjoys it.
Hi Alise 👋... did your dog like Sundays dog food ? ... if so are you still feeding it to your dog ?
I ordered a sample but looking for feedback from others on the product.
Thank You 😊🐾
I am currently in the situation you were in and have finally narrowed my list. Raw food is highly promoted, but I am a bit ambivalent. I may change my mind, but for right now, I'm considering other options.
WTH I know JJ from pc building & just searched up this company to see reviews & this popped up first. He's an expert on everything lol. Looking good JJ.
Future first time dog owner your videos are SUPER helpful! I’m torn between Sundays and Evermore - gonna look into them more.
Fantastic, glad these have been of help to you. Best of luck in finding an option that works best for you and your pup!
I browsed Sundays site, the only thing I didn't like was it doesn't tell you what your getting. Just gives a subscription price. No quantity or weight or anything else.
What a nice idea! Love that it is similar to traditional kibble but has such high nutritional value. Personally, it’s too expensive to feed as main meals but using this as treats sounds like a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
I guess Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a method to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb forgot my password. I would love any tips you can offer me.
@Anthony Deandre Instablaster =)
@Jared Zayden thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Jared Zayden it worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
@Anthony Deandre happy to help :)
I noticed you never talked about the preservative and the selenium yeast in the ingredients list ?
Ziwi Peak has been around for at least 20 years... same food. It's good but super expensive to feed a large dog exclusively.
Great video! Definitely want to try the food but I can’t find any info if it’s ok to feed to a puppy.
Yes you can!
Hi what are your thoughts on The Simple Food Project and Front of the Pack dog food?
Terrific video. I'm getting a puppy and was wondering if you think Sundays would be appropriate as a puppy food? They claim its all life stages.
Hi Richard! Did you get your puppy? Sundays is puppy approved. In fact most cooked dog foods/air dried or premium dog foods are all ages. I would note it is important at a young age like a puppy to develop food diversity and comfort with a range of food so keep this in mind. Similar to adult dogs a heavy reliance on kibble especially one type could be problematic overtime. You of course want to allow for time for the dogs to form a solid digestive track but you should not be afraid of rotational feeding and trying different types of foods. Best of luck!
How.much to feed my 88 lbs standard goldendoodle a month and what pound bag size to buy?
Thank you! How does Sundays compare with Spot & Tango's Unkibble?
Both are great options but looking at the ingredients of Sundays I feel it is superior with less fillers in some respective, it also is air dried and does not utilize any synthetic vitamins.
My rescue had to have half of his teeth removed. I really really want to try this food as I want to give him the best possible food available but I’m afraid he will have a hard time eating it. What advice would you give us? We are currently feeding him allIt but find it’s not quite what we’re looking for and it seems to not agree with his stomach. Thank you for any advice you can give us and thank you for this video.🙏
What are your thoughts on side by side pet, the pet gourmet, honest food kitchen, and dr. Harvey’s?
Forgot to add healthy dogma as well
Hi Vanessa! Thanks for your comment and question.
Pet Gourmet is new to me so I would need to research them. Honest Kitchen is proven company who offers a solid range of options that I generally have no issues recommending as an alternative to kibble or more expensive cooked dog foods. I do think the protein amount is a little low but you can easily supplement with some lightly cooked protein if you want to add a little more. They also have good availability and are reasonably priced. Dr. Harvey's has some great options and I appreciate they have a lots of specialized options but they are definitely on the higher side of the pricing at the same time they have a focus on some very good ingredients and in many ways similar to the honest kitchen. You have options for raw and DIY feeders which is nice. In my opinion I do think raw feeding is a better and lower cost option even accounting for specialized needs if you are comfortable with it and there are many pre packaged raw options available. As for healthy dogma I would need to do a little more research to provide a comparison.
Overall it looks like you have been looking at pre mix options is this correct? It may be worth doing a dedicated video on pre mix where there is a base but you add in your own protein. I would also note that most of these still include synthetic vitamins even Dr Harvey's who prides it's on message a no additive based ingredient list. This is not inherently a bad this as it is done to ensure it meets standards but some dog foods can achieve this purely through the composition of their food/ingredients. This is the case even in a premium kibble like Nature's Logic distinction which I think is a good option for those looking for a premium, simple and easy to serve option that has a focus on quality ingredients and no synthetic vitamins or minerals. Hope this helps!
Recap I would be fine with the honest kitchen or Dr. Harvey's.
I feed raw primarily but was feeding Orijen for breakfast since I work full shifts and didn't want him hungry throughout the day. Well after my dog started having bad diarrhea, gas and even eating his own poop I checked online and saw Orijen changed their recipes and they are now significantly lower quality than they were before and they're more expensive. I'm switching my dog to Sundays, hopefully he does well on this! Otherwise I'll have to split his raw meal up and I'd rather not do that.
Hi Hunter 👋... did your dog like Sundays dog food ? ... if so are you still feeding it to your dog ?
I ordered a sample but looking for feedback from others on the product.
Thank You 😊🐾
Hinter we were in that same boat Champion Pet foods did us dirty. We feed honest kitchen Clusters for breakfast. Just bought Carma 4. Fwed Steve's real food raw or small batch for dinner.
Is this a firmer kibble? I’m presently trying out spot tango and mostly crumbs
As you saw in the video the pieces are pretty firm like treats/jerky but a bit software. You will have some crumbs/bits at the bottom of the bag but it holds its shape pretty well.
If you want to try something a little less expensive but similar to get a sense you can try out Only Natural Pet Max Meat -
www.onlynaturalpet.com/products/only-natural-pet-grain-free-maxmeat-air-dried-real-meat-dog-food
I would say Sundays are firmer but the overall feel is somewhat similar. Hope this helps.
I can’t find the one time purchase option on their website 🤯
This is a frustrating aspect of how they run their store/online orders. You need to sign up for the service and then essentially "pause" or cancel after you receive your first order. There is no easy way to order a sample or single order. You are essentially signing up for a reoccurring subscription. The best way to handle it is once you receive log back in and immediately pause the follow up order.
I easily got the free sample
Do you think these are easily breakable or chewable ? My pup is so small he’s only 5lbs with a tiny jaw :/
Yes, they are softer than many "jerky like treats" dogs even with small mouths should not have an issue if you want to be cautious you can break them up a bit prior to feeding. Keep in mind though for "food" dogs digestion is very different than humans - A dog's digestion, on the other hand, doesn't begin until the food reaches the stomach this is why it is more like they scraf down/gulp there food. Chewing tends to take place when they need to break down the food.
You can slow down the eating process through the use of a slow feeder.
Do you think Sundays has the proper amount of vitamins & minerals?
Yes, I do but as always you can adjust and supplement your dogs food based on healthy conditions, breed, activity and other environmental considerations.
Does this food have 32% Crude Fat? Wouldn't that cause pancreatitis potentially? Am I missing the way fat is listed in dog food? I thought that the typical Fat recommendation for dog food should be under 15%. I noticed that usually Raw and Cooked has lower fat content, but Freeze-dried and this Air Dried seems to have high Fat content. What say you? tks
Fat is good for dogs but for American couch potato dogs, yes 32 % will cause loose stool and possibly pancreatitis. . Kibble foods are made mostly from rendered meat meal meaning the fat has been cooked off from the protein source. ...I can only assume a air dried food having 32 % fat is not using skinned whole chicken breast. They most likely are using skin, and all the chicken humans do not like, In reality home cooking is the way to go if you are spending that amount. IMO...based on research of diets and the manufacturer, Pro Plan All Life Stage Chicken diets are the go to diets. You may not like the ingredient panel..... but see how your dog looks after a couple of bags. Dog food is just marketing. It's why Home cooking is the only way you can know the quality in every meal served. You can have Chewy send free to your door a 37.5 bag of Pro Plan 27-17 Chicken and Rice Active for $49.00 and give better results then Sunday's.
The chicken recipe has 15% crude fat, 38% protein. Beef recipe is 20% fat, 35% protein.
Can I feed this to my 7 month old maltipoo?
Yes it is ok to be fed to dogs younger than 1 year.
I have this food here , however I don’t understand how much I need to feed my 11 pound chipoo , she is 4 yrs old . The box says 1/4 cup a day . Well first it does seem to be enough and second adding to a measuring cup . Hardly any food makes a 1/4 cup . How could this be right once a day for my dog . She lives it but the amount can’t be right .
How would I weigh in solid ounce on a scale ?
I would use their guide as a guide I have found based on my dogs breed, weight and activity I can find considerably less that was is recommended. My dogs currently eat ( once a dog ) and is between 6.5 to 8oz of food which I way on a scale. For fresher better quality good you can feed less. As to what is the right amount that can really vary based on the factors. I would say though many times I would say you can easily 2/3 of a recommended portion size if note less. As always though weigh this against supplements and treats you give your dog. You can discuss with your vet or reach out to the company for their recommendation. For me I would prefer to feed my dogs a higher quality meal that is smaller but more nutrient dense than a "filler" carb heavy based food.
I don't care about the price, it's about quality!! I think this Sundays Food for Dogs, will beat Ziwipeak air dried!
Both are great options if looking for high quality air dried high animal protein based kibble alternatives. I also do like that ZiWi offers other proteins options for rotational feeding.
What is based kibble alternatives? Maybe I'm wrong about Sunday's Food For Dogs being the better food?? Ziwipeak is New Zealand sourced ingredients while Sunday's are sourced all from the U S as I don't really know which is really and truly the whole hearted BEST and I really would love to know the REAL TRUTH ❤️? ? IMAGINE WHILE I DID THIS PARAGRAPH MY GOLDEN RETRIEVER LAYS DOWN WAITING FOR ME MAYBE SUFFERING WHILE I OPTED TO LOOK AT UA-cam BUT SEEN THIS AND 40 MINUTES IS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF OUR LIVES AND I THINK THAT'S CRUEL TO BE ON THIS STUPID TABLET, USUALLY MY PHONES, STILL EITHER WAY THIS WAS STUPID OF ME BUT MAYBE I MAY HAVE WON THIS GAMBLE?? THANKS GARY & BRANDY OF AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB AND LOCALS OF WINDWARD OAHU
I wished I knew how to add a picture of Brandy ? As I'm always proud of her....
Charged 79.85 and 69.85 for April and May. Only got sample box. Did not authorize, but phone number is not valid. I have to block card, so charges do not continue. I need contact information.
would love more and more pet food company start to change and no more kibble.
There are currently many options from canned, freeze dried, cooked, raw all of which are great options/alternatives to kibble and this is only expanding.
My puppies wouldnt really eat this food so I tried returning an order that I hadnt received and found out this company dont do returns. These companies just greedy and want your money. No Return Policy even if the food hasnt arrived.
Terrible Company
2 weeks only wow that is way to much money
It is an expensive option but is lower in cost compared to many cooked dog food subscriptions but compared to home cooked, kibble or canned it is considerably more expensive.
One of my dogs passed away from cancer before all these healthier version of dog food were available. I’m feeding my other dog better food now and no more kibble, and she’s looking so much better and healthier. It’s totally worth spending on expensive dog food for your dog if you love your dog. You want him or her to stay with you for a long time. I really missed my deceased dog and regret that I was feeding her kibble food her whole life.
This company is genuinely awful. First off, dog food made my dog sick. It’s highly prone to mold so that might be the cause.
Second - they’re super sketchy. I thought I was buying 1 bag of dog food. Turns out I was signing up for a subscription that costs 2x the “starter price.”
If you’re going to use kibble, use one that doesn’t have mold. If you want to use a premium food, go with farmers dog or Ollie.
Sunday’s is a sketchy company with low quality product.
If you read when you sign up you would know it’s a subscription. Clearly states that, just need to read…………
If you wanted to buy each bag on your own schedule, you should've read carefully and chose the option "one time" purchase.
I was browsing the site and didn't see anything that said one time purchase
