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.

The Wrap

Is that rain still tapping on your window? It's not going anywhere soon. Laredo and much of the surrounding area are under a flood watch until noon Monday, Nov. 9, with another 1 to 2 inches possible Sunday. We'd leave extra time if you're headed out. Stay dry, Laredo.
