We hearken to the meals for “human diploma” lyiophilized, on Sundays for canines, about two months in the past. It was very promoted as “100% human diploma elements … with out fillings or artificial … 83% of hen muscle mass and organs, 7% of fruit and veggies, 10% of seeds and grains, dense vitamins.”
So we begin our Latke canine on this new weight loss plan, which we slowly included into their regular croquettes and gentle hen stew till lastly it was solely Sundays. A 72 ounces bag completed and a second started. However earlier than serving parts of the second bag, he developed a diarrhea case that by no means resigned. We have been baffled and frightened.
Now, greater than a month later, my frightened spouse started to have a look at the critiques of Sundays, which have been largely optimistic, till she learn some that weren’t. He additionally reviewed the BBB (beforehand the Higher Enterprise workplace) that reported 33 complaints towards Sundays and gave him a score F.
Listed below are two examples:
- 03/01/2025: “My canine grew to become violently in poor health, I known as on Sundays for canines and no person answered me, I despatched them an electronic mail … and somebody despatched an electronic mail saying that I ought to anticipate a name that by no means occurred, and I despatched by mail the unused parts. In the meantime, they loaded my debit card twice. I would like a refund.
- 02/28/2025: “I requested for a check subscription for canine Sundays for a 15 -year -old canine. I paid $ 28 for 2 baggage. The directions have been to extend his meals in a room till he may tolerate Sunday meals and he can not diarrhea. My subscription, and so they say I must cancel pending orders.
We cease feeding latke this canine meal, cancels our subscription and commenced to feed its rice and hen till it recovers.
Lesson: Learn all critiques.
