Great customer service and a variety of options! It's hard to choose! Went there looking for my dogs birthday gift.

Mud bay is a great company. They have plenty of options for everything you could want. Although it is only high quality things. (But what's wrong with that) the staff are well educated and friendly. They have given me great recommendations. My dog is very shy and has grown to love our neighborhood mud bay and it's workers. I highly recommend the burien location because the employees are so helpful! Mud bay even price matches, does easy returns, and will even specifically order things just for your pets. read more

Been coming here on and off for years but we recently adopted a sweet four legged kid who has Cushing's disease and the compassionate and knowledgeable assistance we've received from Windi has been immeasurable! All of the products she's recommended so far have been spot on! I trust her suggestions to the fullest! Compassionate and knowledgeable employees such as Windi are a treasure! Thank you for all of your help! read more

I've been to this location probably 5 or 6 times and have always been able to find what I needed. Today I had a few questions about certain products and Jaden (I asked her for her name before I left) was so nice and helpful with everything. I will definitely be coming here more often. read more

This is a first. I'm reviewing a business that I've never been to. But I will, and soon. Yesterday, while gardening, I heard the unmistakable 'mew' of a kitten coming from the middle of a giant patch of blackberry bushes at the edge of my property. I ignored it at first. But after a couple of hours, I couldn't help myself. I wasn't happy about it, but I was going in with machete in hand (for the bramble, not the kitten). After a half hour of lacerating my forearms, I uncovered a giant pile of broken concrete. Again with the "mew"s. Now it's a high stakes game of pickup sticks (rocks?). Trauma all-around if I lose. I had removed about five hernia-inducing boulders when I realized that I hadn't heard a sound since I started. I pushed that thought out of my head and continued on. Very few people will ever know the oddly satisfying feeling of lifting up a rock and finding a kitten underneath. It's great! It's how how kittens should come into this world. It's even better when it's two of them. I hadn't come to the rescue of a stranded kitten. I had uncovered a litter of feral kittens. Hooray for me! And even better, they were too young to be away from their mother. And yes, I now know that I should have stopped there and waited too assess the situation. But I didn't know that at the time and I was in full rescue mode. As it turns out, this foundation rubble was the mother lode of kittens. Each chunk lifted after that produced yet another adorable, terrified and flea-infested feline. Six total. Well, seven, but I'll get to that later. Three smoky points, two black and one grey. Now I've just created a s***load of responsibility for myself. It's after six in the evening. The humane society is closed and I have no idea what to do. So, I go to my trusty interweb. That's where I first learned that I should have just minded my own business. Which, if you remember all the way back to the beginning of this review, is what I wanted to do in the first place. I have two cats of my own. So, I went straight to my local pet store where I get (used to get) my cat food and litter. I guess I just assumed that pet store employees would know something about this kind of situation. They didn't have jack for stock, information or resources. I might as well have been asking a McDonald's clerk what cut of beef makes for the best hamburgers (answer: 70% chuck, 30% brisket). After that, I realized that this is the future and I can just call pet stores before actually driving there. That's when I called Mud Bay (Yay! You made it this far! Everything before this is useless information. The actual review starts here.). I don't know with whom I talked, but she knew everything I needed to know and a little more than I wanted to know. She knew what to get, how to use it and who to contact. Awesome! I'm practically on my way when she tells me that she is out of one of the things that I need and that I can find it at the pet store down the road from them. Wow! A store that knows their stuff and actually puts my needs and the needs of the animals I'm caring for over their own bottom line. What country am I in? They could have let me drive down and buy most of the stuff and then let me know that they were out of one of those things. That would would have been the best short term move on their part. I still would have done business with them. But I wouldn't have written this long-winded, self-indulgent adulation and you wouldn't know that when you can't get a hold of a vet or the humane society; Mud Bay has the go-to peeps for your pet and varmintal needs. I came home with bottles and nipples and formula and flea combs and cigarettes (for me, not the kittens... and only one then I threw the pack away because I don"t smoke anymore) and what do I hear but a cringe-inducing 'mew' from the sticker bushes. Long story short... hehe... two hours later I found the last one. Another little grey one. It was dark and I used the noisiest of the rescued siblings to echo-locate as they called to each other. Aaaw! Anyone want a kitten? read more

This pet store my favorite place to explore variety options and always had great experience with staffs and knowledge they have.

The people at the Burien Mud Bay are always great, I have asked a million questions, and they have always been promptly answered. I go there every time I need cat food, litter, or anything else kitty related. I would 100% recommend going there if you have a pet. read more

Staff on a whole is not very helpful at best, and at worst has been snide and rude. We wanted to avoid shopping online to support local businesses, but unfortunately that's no longer an option given the horrendous service at this location. read more

Always great service and awesome product. Everything you could ask for if not they'll know where to go

I popped in to get fur baby supplies and April was awesome! Very knowledgeable and friendly. I will definitely go back and I like that currently you have curbside pickup. read more

Every time I have gone into the Burien Store, the people working there have been very helpful with anything I needed and kind to my dogs. Most recently, I brought one of my dogs in to find a new harness that she could not slip out of. I had read online reviews and knew the manufacturer and type I was looking for, but I did not want to buy without making sure it would fit her. She is not a laid-back easy-going dog, so I really appreciated the staff person who helped me with trying on the harnesses, and by calming her with lamb lung treats. My dog is a coated Xoloitzcuintli with a deep chest and longish body, and the harness I expected would work was too small in one size and too large in the next size up. The Mud Bay employee suggested a different type of harness, which fit her much better. I was encouraged to walk her around the store to feel how it was going to work, which enabled me to buy the harness with confidence that it was exactly what I needed. read more

Mud Bay has entered my world over the past year and a half and has grown on me. Initially, I felt as if I was betraying Petco (my other fave pet place) but I have come to realize that this is MY DOG'S favorite store. Everything my Labrador Retriever loves is found at Mud Bay. The best thing about Mud Bay, for me, is that you can find the exact same thing at each location. Entering Mud Bay is like entering Whole Foods for your animal. If you need a specialized type of food or treat, Mud Bay is your place. As I was raising my dog from 15-weeks, I did a lot of reading about types of foods that would meet her needs. During my trip to Burien's Mud Bay, I took my dog, Poppy, into the store with me in search of a dog backpack. There was another friendly dog there and the employees gathered around to enjoy watching the two dogs play with one another. One employee asked if he could take pictures of my dog and went so far as to sit on the floor to play with Poppy! When it came time to choose Poppy's backpack, I was pleased the staff allowed me to try multiple sizes on her. Although Mud Bay didn't have a specific treat product that I purchase for her at another store, they were able to make recommendations that suited Poppy's dietary needs. The Burien location is taking care of business the right way and I'm happy to continue my patronage. read more

This is our goto place for pet stuff in Burien. What stands out here is the friendliness of the staff here. They will acknowledge you when you enter the store and found it very personable and approachable. Another thing that really stood out to me is they will offer to carry your heavier stuff to your car and help you out. If you're looking for a place for some pet stuff, this is a good choice just because of the service. read more

It's been a while since I've written a review. But I really feel that this mud bay deserves a shout out. The folks here are definitely worth going back again. They're so personable and helpful. We got 2 new pups and ran out of the food the old owners fed them. One of the associates went above and beyond to research what was in the original food since they didn't have it in stores. He gave us a handful of similar sample foods and the pups did great! The pups loved them. My boyfriend went back the next day and got some more food plus some treats and the same associate remembered and mentioned "Oh the goldendoodles!" LOVED how he remembered :) it's always our go to shop and it just gets better every time :) read more

This is a great lol pet store. They have good brands of food and healthy treats for dogs too. A few months ago I came in looking for a new food for my dog who has allergies. They were super helpful about finding me options that might work and then letting me take home a few trial cans for FREE!!! Yup they do this free trial so check em out! read more

So happy to find out they have duck food! Now I can get all my animals food on the same stop! The staff always asks if need help. Also have a great selection of animal toys and treats. read more

I love this MudBay location!! The staff here are so amazing. VERY knowledgeable, helpful and happy. No problem helping me load heavy cat litter into my car and giving my 3 cats treats to try!!!! Prices are better than most pet stores and they have a huge range of healthy food for my cats. They even have plates, bowls, accessories and toys you can't find anywhere else. read more

Very knowledgeable and understanding staff. Josh was very kind and helped me pick up a new food for my dog. He also assured me that even barky dogs are welcome to come in to help socialize. I will never go to Petco or Petsmart ever again! Very easy decision. read more

Everyone in this store has been so helpful with my pup, literally since the day I picked her up. She's had tummy issues and had to try a few different types and they were so patient and had great recommendations. They remember me and my puppy and always make a point to come say hello. Tallulah and I love this store! read more

I love coming to the Mud Bay in burien; 1) it's close 2) staff are super friendly 3) service is outstanding! The employees here are so sweet whenever I come in with my pups, giving treats to them, and making sure I am helped. read more

I love the staff here and at any Mud Bay i've ever been to. True animal loving folks, knowledgeable in pets and products as well as always willing to help and answer any questions you might have. Given they are pretty pricey compared to other pet stores but what you're paying for is the extra quality in service and products. read more

I have visited several mud bay locations and they all go above and beyond for the happiness of the animal and the animals owner. I don't think I've ever been to a pet store that cares so much and actually wants what's best for pet and owner. I will never go to another pet store. Thank you mud bay for making my kitty happy!!!! read more

I went here several times for my kitty, but I went in for my puppy recently. I said "she's itchy and I dont think its fleas" They said "she might have wheat allergies" I knew I had step into doggy paradise! They had food with out wheat, and all sorts of all meat treats, (she loves the lamb lungs and pork hearts) Kinda pricey, but I wanted her to not rip her hair out, and it looks like its working. I am very happy with the knowledgable staff and they just love Ginger. read more

Staff, esspecially young man named Alex very friendly and helpful. He even gave me sam-ples for my pit boxer. The only store that carries my dogs pill pocket greeny treats that she eats,. she has a condition and wont eat the other ones. fast checkout, huge selection all natural pet food for dogs cats birds and rodents such as rats hamsters hedgehogs and guniea pigs. open late. leashed dogs welcome. read more

Excellent staff, always helpful. They genuinely seem happy to see everyone. And of course, they are happy to see the dogs. The prices are a little higher than I would prefer, and sometimes they don't have selection as broad as an online store. The store is clean and well lit, and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Just outside their door is another story, and probably outside their control. The sidewalk in front of Mud Bay is stained and trashy, and the parking spaces are very oily and filthy. I feel like I want to carry my dog into the store. Once inside, it's a great store. I've been going there for years, and never had a single bad experience. read more

Mud Bay is a great resource. Although the staff seems to come and go, everyone there has always been very helpful, super friendly and they know a lot about the products they sell. I've been coming here since they moved into the neighborhood and have always been satisfied--as have my dogs, who have always been welcome guests inside the store. read more

I had the best retail experience of my life at the Burien location. The staff was exceptionally helpful with finding food for our very picky eater. They were able to tell us about the different foods and where they came from. You can tell they are passionate about what they do and that they love the babies they are helping. Hands down the best shopping trip I have ever had and they have samples for some of their products so you can see if your babies will like them. I will definitely be a lifetime shopper at this store. Bolt says thank you for his treats. read more

I'm not sure where to even begin when it comes to how amazing this place is. Aside from having quality products at a reasonable price, it's their staff that truly sets this place apart from any other pet store. I was having a terrible day when I first overcame curiosity and took my puppy, Baloo, into this Mud Bay. We immediately were greeted with the most loving welcome by Bailey. She truly turned my day around and showed us so much love. Since then, we have been in over a dozen times and our experiences just keep getting better. In fact, any time my dog can tell we are close to Mud Bay she starts whining to go in! Bailey, thank you for just being you and caring so much about Baloo. Thank you for all of your advice and tips and constant words of encouragement. And thank you for helping reinforce all of Baloo's training whenever we come in. Alex #1, thank you for all of your tips on training and for just being all sorts of adorable. Alex #3, thank you for always being so sweet and for recommending The Painted Pooch. You saved us with this wonderful groomer! Kendra, than you for all of your help in explaining different types of treats and which ones would be the best for what we are looking for. And to the rest of the crew: Malina, Anna, Marilyn, and Ryan, thank you for always treating us like family too! I have honestly told my boyfriend that if there were ever an emergency and we needed someone to watch Baloo, I'd trust any member of this staff with her. But Bailey, you'll be our number one emergency contact as long as we live here! read more

I had a really great experience today that I would like to share ; I called asking about dog flee treatments and the gentleman on the phone was very sweet and told me to come in and he would help me. I came in not knowing what products to use and I asked "Alex" for help and he showed me a couple different things and explained each product so I knew how to use it which I really liked because I felt really confident buying the products. I loved his happy attitude and willingness to help , at the check out stand he gave me a sample to help with my dogs skin and I really appreciated that. I love this place and I will always come back here. Thank you for helping me !! read more

This store is my ultimate favorite due to sales people like Alex! He went above and beyond helping me in bind. I will continue to only shop at this Mud Bay location due to helpful and pleasant people like him!! read more

I stopped in looking for a replacement for my dog's favorite toy ever. But they apparently no longer carry it. No worries: the staff was SO helpful and friendly. They wrote down the internal specs on the toy so I could see if the Mud Bay closer to my house could order it. I've always had a great experience with Mud Bay and go out of my way to shop there because of interactions like these! read more

The staff are great here and it's easy for me to find what I need for kitty. I usually come in about once a week to get a couple cans of wet food for my cat as a supplement to her grain-free dry food and occasionally something else (cat grass, toy, covered litter box). The staff are always helpful but happy to let you browse and I appreciate their generosity with samples when trying something new. I'm enjoy trying new foods here and the cat has liked most of them (as long as they aren't fish). The food is a little pricier but you get well-trained staff and high quality products. Other products in their store are often comparable, I found a better covered litter box here cheaper than the big box store. I never get the feeling they're trying to upsell me. read more

I absolutely love the staff here. There's is never a question they can't answer and they will help you figure out what you need to make your pets happy. My pets are family so when I need advice on food or training they are always there to help. I have true several pet stores but none could ever stand up to this place. Thank you to all the staff who really care about animals. read more

Not impressed by lack of customer service. We used to go to the one in shoreline & everyone there was very helpful and super friendly-not so much at this store unless you're one of their favorites. We won't be back. read more

I always have a super positive experience at this location! Multiple times I've came in and asked different sales members for their advice/opinions, their always kind and informative. I feel like I'm getting advice from a pet care support group vs somebody just trying to sell me stuff. Thank you mud bay read more

Mud Bay is as good as it gets! We need a fairly special food for our dog as she gets too 'fluffy' easily. She weighed 90 has now dropped to 60 and Fat Dog seems to sort of auto adjust. There are now several places I can get it but I've taken home moths from other places.....never from Mud Bay. read more

I recently started shopping here after having to change my cats diet. Alex, was super knowledgeable about all the different types of cat food and what our cat needed based on the doctors recommendations! They staff is super friendly and they always take time to ask about your pet and give health, social, or fun tips! It's now our regular pet place! read more

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Not like other pet stores in Normandy Park. Great selection and prices are comparable to other specialty pet stores. Will continue to shop there for all my pet needs. read more

Our happy place is Mud Bay. The entire Burien team is beyond amazing and are super knowledgable, friendly and helpful. They create such a warm energy in the store it's hard not to smile. We love it so much we pretty much find a reason to go almost weekly at this point. As a co-op we love supporting a local business that cares about its staff, just as much as animals. Shout out to James and Marilyn who are always willing to go the extra mile and always listen and give advice, and the whole team who doesn't even bat an eye as we swoop in a few minutes before closing. Beyond service, they carry wonderful products, are always giving samples and have an open return policy to return anything you pet doesn't like! We've tried and returned many things without penalty and feel at ease knowing any returned items get donated to a local shelter. They have created lifelong customers out of us, keep doing what you are doing! read more

I use to bring my buddy, Mr. B, here for visits and to pick up his food and what other goodies were needed. They are good folks and even have B's photo on the wall. My little buddy passed away on Oct. 30th of cancer and i miss him alot. But I'll continue to reccomend Mud Bay to folks. John read more
