All Sundays recipes are air-dried (not baked) and human-grade. Subscription plans include free shipping and flexible delivery windows. Prices based on publicly available data from Sundays' official website as of early 2026.
Sundays charges the same base nationwide (free shipping). However, customers in California, New York, and Texas pay identical product rates. No extra delivery fees. For instance, a 35-lb dog in Chicago spends around $169/month, same as in Phoenix or Seattle. Only local sales tax may apply (approx 0–9.5%).
Premium kibble averages $50–$80/month, but Sundays provides air-dried human-grade ingredients (no fillers). Compared to fresh competitors like Farmer’s Dog ($100–$240/month), Sundays is similarly priced but shelf-stable. Many owners find the ingredient quality reduces vet bills long-term.
Larger dogs require significantly more food volume. Sundays calculates portions based on ideal weight, activity level, and metabolism. A 75-lb active dog will cost ~$210/month vs $95 for a 12-lb companion.
Sundays uses USDA meat, organs, and bone, plus organic vegetables. The gentle air-drying preserves nutrients without synthetic preservatives. This production method is more expensive than extruded kibble but offers superior nutrition.
Recurring deliveries save 20–30% compared to individual boxes. Most owners choose bi-weekly or monthly subscriptions. Sundays also offers a “mix & match” variety pack at similar subscription rates.
Free standard shipping on all subscription orders over $50. One-time boxes below $50 include a flat $7.99 delivery fee. Sundays ships from regional centers (e.g., Pennsylvania, Nevada, Illinois) ensuring 2–4 day delivery for most US addresses.
