Most dog food marketing lives on the front of the bag. Sundays For Dogs wants you to read the back.

Sundays was founded by Dr. Tory, a veterinarian who wanted something better for her own dog, Mabel. Every recipe is made with over 80% real meat and nutrient-rich extracts of fruits, vegetables, seeds, and grains — complete and balanced nutrition for every life stage. If an ingredient sounds like it came from a chemistry lab, it’s not in the bag.

Our readers might be surprised by what is (and isn’t) inside — see the label for yourself and get 30% off your first order with Sundays For Dogs.

The Wrap

Leaves dancing in the wind beat the news cycle, at least for one hiker. Western larch is putting on a fall show at Jubilee Lake, up in the Blue Mountains near Tollgate at 4,700 feet. A 2.7-mile trail circles the 92-acre lake, and the first stretch is paved. Pine needles do the cushioning after that. Bring a friend and a slow pace.
