Mud Bay

Visit Mud Bay and you’ll find a large space filled with pet furniture, food, toys, and fancy stuff that honestly, none of us should buy. Although some things are quite expensive, they definitely get props for the «too cute» factor!
One of the reasons I love this store is that they sell Scratch and Sniff furniture. Shortly, I will be picking up a new member of our family — a gorgeous silver rosetted bengal kitten. Given the type of breed she is, I decided this was the perfect piece for her. Along the way, I was distracted by all the toys, collars, and harnesses that I will try not to buy her but fail. Then, my eyes fell on the most adorable bed I’ve ever seen. It’s called «buttercup.» It’s a bed that cinches on the sides to form a petal-​like appearance. Definitely too cute! I (I mean «she») had to have it! Unfortunately, it came with a «too cute» price tag. I bought it anyway.
I perused the variety of foods while I was there, planning what I would feed my new kitty. My cat recently died of kidney failure so I’m very concerned about how food can impact a cat’s health. I found a good selection and I’m confident that I’ll be buying food there often.
Staff members were available but not overbearing. They were responsive when they saw I wanted to check out and made relevant conversation about my purchases. Nice!

Great service, great staff and they always feed my dog treats.
They have a good selection of dog and cat food, and they have samples pretty regularly. They know my dog by name and let her run around the store if it’s empty.

My best friend Teddy and I went in to Mud Bay yesterday evening and we were greeted by Michael, an employee there. Michael was amazing, I told him exactly what I was looking for, he showed us our options, after making friends with Teddy, and helped us through our entire shopping experience. We could have wasted time, staring blankly at products not knowing which ones were right for us, but Michael made our trip a breeze. After making our purchases he even helped us take our new treasures to our car!
Michael is knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Thank you Michael!!! Teddy says «woof».

What’s not to love about Mud Bay in Greenwood? They have a huge selection of everything you could possibly need for your furry friend and helpful/​knowledgeable staff to boot. They genuinely seem to like what they do and always fawn over the animals that come in (no wild pun intended). They are quick to talk about things like industry recalls and why they carry the brands that they do, offer suggestions about products based on your animal’s needs, and give samples to test out. (In my experience they also have a money-​back guarantee on all of their products, including any unused quantity of food if it’s not working for your pet.) Sure, their prices are probably higher than some other stores, but the selection of quality products, convenient location, and great staff are worth it.

I love Mud Bay. Not only for their great and knowledgeable staff but also the excellent selection of cat and dog food, toys, and treats. It ranges on the pricier side but if you truly love your pet like I do then it’s absolutely is worth it.

My picky diva Chihuahua has decided she’s not interested in her food anymore. So my mom recommended we go to Mud Bay to find foods she’ll actually eat. Such a cute store & the staff are very knowledgable! Jessica was very helpful & made several recommendations for foods. The diva enjoyed the attention from staff & adores the «homemade» dog biscuits. We left with several foods to try as samples… I also loaded up on and purchased other cute «supplies» that the diva totally *needed* :) Anyway, this is our new forever pet store home! Special thanks to Jessica for her help!

Amazing staff!
I got a kitten about a month ago. The staff here are so friendly and truly cared and listened my questions. They offered great advice and were happy to do so. I’ve been back twice since my initial visit, each time they are friendly and helpful. Prices are good, store is well laid out and easy to get around, and they are local! Love this place!

BIG shout out to a company based out of Olympia, WA (my hometown)!
First impressions: This pet store is definitely one of the nicest pet stores I’ve been to. Easily blows Petsmart and Petco out of the water. The price that you would pay is just that. It’s just more expensive then other pet stores! But for good reason. I love coming here because they don’t have what they call «filler dog food» or empty calories (IAMS, Purina falls in this category). They have quality brands such as Canidae, Taste of the Wild, Evo, etc. (Please look here for more detail:
). Their dog food is of some of the best quality! This store also has an assortment of dog treats and dog toys as well.
This place also caters to our feline friends as well.
My two shiba inus love it here and they always get treats from the extremely friendly staff. I believe this is the best pet store in Greenwood.

This is the only place I shop for my dog! The staff at this Mud Bay are incredible. They know me and my dog call us by name and always ask how we are doing. This is the first dog I have ever had so they have been so helpful in answering all of my questions. Their return policy is a no brainer and I have used it several times as a new dog owner not sure about things. They have wonderful suggestions about food and have given me free samples several times until we came up with a good nutritional plan that she seems to be very happy with. The store has recently been remodeled and it’s very easy to walk around in with my dog. I won’t shop anywhere else!

The folks at Mud Bay have been really great. My cat was recently diagnosed with some health issues and Mud Bay has been an invaluable resource. They have helped me select food that meets my cats needs and everyone has been really helpful.
It is obvious that the people that Mud Bay hires really care about keeping pets healthy and happy.

I love the staff here! They are always willing to help and share their knowledge. And that’s a good thing when a stray cat decides to adopt you.

If you want to spend more money for the same exact product sold at another pet store, come here. The staff is great here, or I would’ve given 1 star. Just do me a favor and compare the price of say, a bottle of powder multivitamin for dogs, to another leading pet store (same exact brand/​size). You will see the huge difference in dollars (not cents, dollars). Also, they don’t offer the same deal for dog treats (like buy 5, get 1 free) that a different pet store (in Ballard) offers. I did the math and if I switch pet stores I will be saving about 40 bucks a month.

Love this place! They carry a lot of food options for my dog who is allergic to grains. I love that I don’t have to give her the only thing that other pet stores sell for grain allergy dogs and I get to try out options!
For Christmas they are doing a cool fundraiser where you can buy a bag filled with necessities — most were $ 10 — $ 20 — which they’ll donate to the Seattle Humane Society! I thought it was clever.
Great place! Definitely pricier than the big box pet stores, but you get better healthier options for your dog and the service has always been top notch as well.

Love this store staff is so friendly and helpful !

I love Mud Bay but this one’s staff was a little bleeeeh for me. They were not very friendly as compared to the staff at the UVillage or Capitol Hill locations.
We had come in looking for some toys treats and new harnesses for our Malamutes and just did not get nearly as mich of a welcoming attitude that the other locations have.

I like to spoil my cat. I like people that don’t judge how much I want to spoil my fat cat, Oscar. Mud Bay and all its friendly staff help me keep my fat cat happy! Staff have only ever been happy to answer my questions about…
— Which wet food would my cat like? (because you know my cat, right?)
— How much dry food should I feed my cat?
— How can I stop my litter box from perfuming my entire apartment?
— How can I make sure he’s getting enough water?
— What cat conditioner can I buy to help brush out his bum burrs?
I love their variety of cat, um, everything. Cat toys, cat pillows, heated cat blankets, catnip, cat treats, brushes… can’t speak for their dog stuff, but Mud Bay’s sure got my number otherwise!

Prior to shopping here, we did most of our shopping at Petsmart, or other large chains. We found this place when we moved to Greenwood.
We loved how the store didn’t really have alot of major brands. It had a great food selection, and some unique toys we hadn’t seen before. We’ve bought lots of snacks here, some leashes, a travel bag, and alot of toys.
The staff is always very friendly. They helped us pick out our travel bag since we were flying with our dog for the first time. They also had suggestions about Vets/​Dog walkers in the area.
I was surprised to find out that Mud Bay is a chain. Despite this, they do a really good job of making it feel like your neighborhood store

Put simply, Mud Bay is the place to go in Seattle for your dog stuff. My wife and I got an English mastiff /​yellow lab mix, and from the day we brought him home, Finn’s been a fan of Mud Bay. If we walk in the neighborhood and he sees the store, he’ll wag his tail and look hopefully at the store. He knows when to go in and pick out toys, and if we’re walking from point A to point B in the store it’s pretty much time to check out everyone in the place.
Mud Bay has employees who care. They’re working their butts off for their customers. When we had a case of wet food that seemed to be causing Finn to spray ass on a daily basis, Mud Bay helped us find the right kind of dry food diet for our pupster to get him in balance. They took back the food we didn’t use and gave us full credit for it. They exchanged harnesses, leashes, and while Finn’s still got to be watched like a hawk whenever he goes in so he doesn’t get the treats that turn him into Sir Liquid Butt, they’re understanding of pretty much all animals who come through.
How understanding? They have leash cleats so the two-​legged critters can get their wallets and carry the purchases out without worrying about a hyper 140+ lb doggie leaping in joy when he sees his favorite cashiers.
In addition, their fresh catnip is CRAZY good, according to our neurotic feline.

I don’t think I can get the doggie food my boys need from the chain pet stores. Therefore, I visit Mud bay ever 1.5 to 2 months depends on how fast my boys eat their food.
Since we live in an apartment, my boys don’t get as much exercise as they should have, I get them weight management doggie food from EVO. I don’t think it’s their favorite, but it’s good for them!
They are a great selection of food, treats, and other accessories in the store. This Mud Bay in Greenwood was moved from the other located. It is now a lot more convenient and closer to where I live. Staff is nice and knowledgeable. Of course, it’s a doggie friendly store and you can bring your pets on leash.

Mud Bay gets 5 stars hands-​down for knowledge, special orders, reminder calls, and the trial wet food they’ll give ya free when you are changing your cat’s wet food diet. It makes it easy to save a buck with a picky kitty instead of tossing the whole can you spent money on.
They’ve got an awesome collection of cat and dog things — food to toys, leashes to litter, and climbing posts too! The staff are super cool and love your pet! With multiple locations, it makes it easy to swing by in my mess of errand running.
