Sundays for Dogs vs The Farmer's Dog
Sundays vs The Farmer's Dog: air-dried shelf-stable against frozen fresh, with the per-1,000-kcal cost comparison that c…
Air-dried, shelf-stable human-grade food — no freezer or fridge needed. Publishes full GA and calorie data. Ships to all 50 states (unique among premium DTC brands). Documented price increases of ~30% since 2023. No recalls on record.
Sundays for Dogs is independently owned (vet-founded). Of the 4 foods we hold, 4 publish a guaranteed analysis, 4 a calorie statement, 4 an ingredient list and 4 an AAFCO adequacy statement. Those counts are what the transparency mark above records — how we read a label.
Around $1.86/day (small dogs) to ~$8+/day (large). ~55% cheaper than frozen fresh per the brand's own comparison; per-calorie it is one of the cheapest premium options.
Prices are not label data: they come from the brand's published rates and 2026 third-party pricing tests, they change without notice, and they are the one figure on this site we cannot verify against a label. Calorie cost is the comparable number — work it out per 1,000 kcal.

Verified against FDA enforcement records and independent recall databases, as of July 2026. A clean record is history, not a guarantee: manufacturing risk is never zero, and a brand can also be hit by a co-manufacturer's problem it did not cause. 7 of the 20 brands here are in the same position — the full tracker.
Protein is converted to a dry-matter basis so these rows compare to any other format on the site. The bar under each calorie figure spans the full 122-food range, with the tick at the median, so a bar here means what the same bar means anywhere else.
