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

An interactive maze with jungle roots, a grape vine and branches to move through sounds like the kind of thing you'd get lost in on purpose. Mission Botanica at the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center is an energetic maze for all ages, and it teaches you about everything from towering trees to ordinary weeds. It's open today. Even the weeds get a moment.
