Best damn quality pet store. PERIOD!
They are a small, but growing local chain from Seattle Washington.
We used to order most of our specialty dog treats and food online (assuming it was always less expensive and I do love online shopping). However, we stumbled in to Mud Bay a couple years ago on a whim and could not believe the variety, friendly service and affordable prices.
Some of the premium dog foods are slightly higher than online, but when you factor in the dog biscuit bar which has an entire Grain Free section (10-12 offerings) at less than $3 per pound with the bucket, you can't beat it. Our dogs love the bulk biscuits and even sneak a few which we always feel we must apologize for. Even our very picky eater would stoop to thievery in the name of their dog height nom nom GF biscuits.
They also have leashes, collars, harnesses, beds, crates--and most of their items are less expensive than the big box stores (like Petco/Smart). For example, we bought a leader (Holt brand) for our new girl and it was $5 less at Mudbay than PetSmart. Great assortment of bowls, shampoos and conditioners and a lot of organic/non GMO options, too!
I've been to Healthy Pet, Natural Pet foods, Creature Comforts, Western and they are all just fine, but Mud Bay has our repeat business for life.
Recommend if you have a dog, buy the biscuit bucket ($4-5 one time purchase) and it will save you 15% each time you come in making the biscuits (including grain-free) under $3 per pound. We used to pay $12-15 for a 20oz bag! Their biscuits are all from reputable (often local Washington) small makers, which is wonderful. Oh and be patient because they may run out of your dogs favorite from time to time because the local dog baker can't always keep up with the demand (especially the grain free). However, they have such a wide assortment, you aahhhem, your dog will find many favorites. Our dogs love them all.
A couple last comments:
They do a lot for animal welfare including local rescue events, raising money for dogs and cats in need, dog social events, no charge photos during holidays (with costumes). Their primary philosophy is to provide the best quality pet food to your babies at an affordable cost, so all pets have the opportunity for good nutrition.
We are in LOVE with Mud Bay. Our dogs freak out when we go there (they start howling as soon as we near the parking lot)!
Thank you for making high quality pet nutrition affordable for everyone. read more
