About Sundays for Dogs
Sundays for Dogs is a founder-led brand reimagining pet food so dog owners can spend more quality time with their dogs—now and later. We make human-grade, air-dried food that supports long, healthy lives, and we're building a company that reflects how great teams should work: with low ego, high ownership, honest feedback, creative problem-solving, and a bias toward doing more with less.

Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, we're a distributed team of 70 full-time employees across the U.S. While we work remotely day-to-day, we gather quarterly in person because relationships matter. Our subscription-based DTC model is our foundation. We're entering an exciting growth stage—expanding our product assortment, driving innovation, and thoughtfully opening new channels. We're building to scale with intention, and we're just getting started.
