Pet owners now scrutinize cost and real feeding amounts as much as ingredient lists. Sundays for Dogs markets an air-dried, human‑grade dog food that promises convenience without frozen packs or a messy meal plan.

The question is simple: how much do you actually pay per bag, per portion, and per month? The structure below walks through the brand basics, the plan cost drivers, sample servings, auto ship discounts, and a quick comparison with rivals. One small aside here (give or take a few dollars) because dogs rarely eat exactly the same portion size every day.

How Much Does Sundays Dog Food Cost?

Sundays dog food cost ranges from $1,5/day for toy breeds to $7+/day for extra-large appetites. Transparency around price, bag size, and monthly fee lets owners avoid guesswork and surprise bills. Sundays publishes a calculator based on weight and activity; we translated that into digestible daily and monthly figures.

Our data shows pricing is algorithmic: weight, age, and activity drive the algorithm, then a subscription applies a standing discount. The broad band stays between $2/day for a 5–10 lb dog and $5+/day for 80–100 lb dogs. A typical 20 lb dog lands near $2.60/day, while a 60 lb dog centers around $4.75/day. First-time buyers often see promo codes, plus a 14-day guarantee and free shipping on auto order renewals.

Think in tiers instead of one flat rate. We grouped common weights (10, 25, 60, 100 lb) and translated grams to scoops to get an actual serve amount per day. This helps prevent overfeeding and stretching a bag longer than the plan intended. A correct serve rate means the total cost you see on checkout actually matches what you spend each month.

According to Life with Klee Kai, for small-breed dogs (around 6–15lbs), a box of beef or chicken recipe typically costs about $69 for a month’s supply with a subscription, or about $85 as a one-time purchase. Medium-breed dogs (about 20lbs) are quoted at roughly $109 per month for a subscription and $139 per box for a one-time buy.

For large dogs (60–110lbs), a subscription price is around $199 monthly, while one-off purchases can reach $249 per box. Extra-large breeds, such as Great Danes (110lbs), can expect prices up to $199 for 2–3 weeks of food on subscription, with per-meal costs reaching about $5.24 for the biggest dogs.

Hello Subscription says that overall, monthly prices for Sundays Dog Food range approximately from $60 to $300, depending on your dog’s weight and caloric needs. The cost per serving is typically between $1.50 and $7. Subscription customers get about a 20% discount off the one-time purchase price, and shipping is usually free for subscribers.

For those just exploring, a single 40oz starter box is available for $85, or $69 by subscription for small breeds. A 72oz box for medium dogs runs $139 (one-time) or $109 (subscription). Large-dog owners can purchase a 216oz box at $249, or $199 with recurring deliveries.

Canine Journal notes that precise pricing for your dog is determined by entering their details (size, breed, activity, health, etc.) on the official site. The brand factors in this information to recommend box size and shipment frequency, but as a rule of thumb, small dogs cost about $69 per month, medium dogs $109, and large/extra-large breeds $199 or more.

What Is Sundays for Dogs

Sundays is positioned as an air-dried dog food brand that ships shelf-stable meals direct to your door. The food is made from USDA meats, fruits, and vegetables, then gently dried, yielding a crunchy crumble rather than a typical dry bag of pellets.

That matters for cost because water isn’t what you pay for—you pay for dense calories. Recipes currently include Chicken, Beef, and Turkey, so rotating protein doesn’t change your core plan fee much. When we tested a mixed meal box, the product arrived with a feeding chart, scoop guidance, and an order summary that spelled out every price line.

Compared with frozen “fresh” brands, Sundays avoids cold-chain shipping fee overhead, which helps keep the base price steady. Compared with bulk kibble, the purchase price per ounce is higher, but the portion is smaller due to higher calorie density. That trade-off sits at the center of any budget chart for premium pet meals.

Example Cost Breakdown by Dog Size

We built Table 1 to show an estimated price guide per weight category. It merges portion size, bags per month, and daily price to surface a usable cost chart. Numbers reflect the brand’s own calculator ranges and user invoices.

These figures illustrate how weight chart math impacts your pet budget. A few ounces added each day will bump the total cost fast. One typo in your price input inside the calculator skews projections, so double-check grams and scoops.

One-Time Purchase vs Subscription Pricing

We found the subscription pathway trims about 20% off the purchase price compared with a single bag checkout. A one-time 40 oz pack might run $75, while the same auto ship order posts at $60. Scaling that out over six months, a loyal buyer of medium portions saves roughly $90–$110. Those savings compound if you run multiple dogs under one plan order. Flexibility helps: pause, skip, or cancel without a fee, which protects against waste when travel or illness changes the meal plan.

Shipping stays free on recurring autoship in the contiguous U.S., so no hidden shipping fee pads your monthly bill. If you prefer testing the waters, a single order gives clarity on texture and dog acceptance; just know the per‑bag rate is higher.

Value Compared to Other Premium Brands

A fair pricing guide compares Sundays to peers. Using average feeding volumes, Sundays centers near $3/day. The Farmer’s Dog averages $4.50/day, Ollie clocks $3.50–$4.00/day, and Spot & Tango sits around $3.00–$4.25/day. The cost gap often reflects format: fresh-frozen brands carry higher shipping and cold storage costs, while air‑dried saves on that line item. Cost per calorie and price per pound create a cleaner budget chart, and Sundays competes well there.

Dr. Ernie Ward, DVM, regularly advises owners to compare cost per calorie rather than bag stickers. Dr. Lisa Freeman, DVM, PhD (Tufts), stresses reviewing ingredient lists and reported calories to balance price against nutrition. Lindsay Beaton, Editor at Petfood Industry, highlights auto ship discounts as a smart “pet spend” lever for premium formulas. These expert cues justify looking beyond headline bag price and into true total cost.

What’s Included in the Price

A standard plan includes the air-dried food, a customized feeding chart, and online support. A 40 oz bag typically covers 15–20 days for a 20 lb dog, depending on activity and treat habits. That output helps predict food amount and serve amount without constant recalculation. Ingredients are filler‑free and sourced from U.S. suppliers, which is a selling point baked into the plan cost.

Storage convenience matters. No freezer space, no thaw time, and an unopened shelf life near eight months at room temp. Room-temp stability saves on shipping fee and lets you buy multiple bags during a promo without spoilage risk. For many owners, that predictable order amount is as valuable as the ingredient list.

User Feedback

Owner reviews trend positive on palatability and gut health. Many state the price feels high for multi-dog homes, a fair point when total cost doubles. Reddit threads and YouTube reviews cluster around a 4.5/5 vibe, with convenience often outweighing the monthly fee. One user said the bag price was steep yet they cut their treat budget, balancing spend.

Dr. Jennifer Larsen, DVM, PhD (UC Davis), often reminds clients that mixing premium formulas with lower-cost dry food is acceptable when done with a vet’s guidance. That hybrid approach trims daily price while maintaining quality. Our team saw similar strategies in field notes: blend 50/50 to drop a plan cost from $140/month to roughly $85/month for a 60 lb dog.

Is It Worth the Price?

Value lives at the intersection of cost, digestibility, and your dog’s willingness to eat the product. Sundays offers high protein, human-grade sourcing, and a meal plan that simplifies feeding. For small and medium breeds, the price delta over premium kibble is smaller, making the purchase price easier to absorb. Large breed owners need to watch serve rate and use portion size tools to control spend.

We provide a quick checklist: 1) Ingredient quality vs your pet budget. 2) Storage needs vs pantry space. 3) Will you use auto ship to grab the 20% discount? 4) Are you open to mixing to lower the total cost? If those align, Sundays likely earns its slot on your shelf.

Answers to Common Questions

Can I mix Sundays with kibble without ruining the meal plan?

Yes. Many owners blend to reduce daily price and bag burn rate. Keep the portion size proportional and recalc the serve amount to match calories.

Do larger dogs always pay more per day?

Yes, pricing scales with weight and grams fed. That increases the monthly bill, but price per ounce often normalizes across sizes.

Is shipping always free?

Free shipping applies to subscription orders. One‑time buys may include a small shipping fee depending on location.

Are sample packs available?

No true trial bags, but the first order carries a full refund guarantee, which protects the total cost on a failed test.

Do recipes change the rate?

Minor variance. Beef sometimes lands a bit higher than Chicken, but the swing won’t upend your budget chart.
