When a veterinarian and a software engineer couldnt find the perfect food for their own dogs, they decided to make it. Dr. Tory Waxman, Michael Waxman, Mabel and Sky started Sundays from their garage, launched in 2020, and now feed a growing community of thousands of dogs. Our human-grade, air-dried food is healthier than kibble, but easier than home-cooked or refrigerated foods. Our team is working to make being a pet parent even easier and making more time to play! Sundays is reinventing food for the modern dog family. **RECRUITING SCAM ALERT We’ve been made aware of scammers impersonating Sundays for Dogs and inviting candidates to interview via Microsoft Teams.
