PNW Proud Since 1988
Since 1988, the Mud Bay mission has never wavered: Contribute to the health of dogs and cats and to the happiness of those who care for them. As we grew, we wanted to honor the dedication our Muddies brought to the mission, so we shifted from being a family-owned business to being a family- and employee-owned company. Today we have more than 500 Muddies, 65 stores and ecommerce to bring our mission and the Mud Bay Experience (MBX) to life in the PNW.
Our Culture and Values
We believe culture is something that is created, not just stated. We look for individuals who share our Mud Bay values—Accountability, Education, Integrity, Generosity, Responsibility and Fun—to help us create a meaningful Mud Bay Experience for all our customers and each other.
