Proud pet owners are often as passionate as parents when it comes to providing their (furry) babies with proper care. Enter Mud Bay: The Pacific Northwest’s largest retailer of natural cat and dog foods, Mud Bay researches all the products it sells, as well as the companies that manufacture them, before putting them on the shelves. As a result, you can be confident that the foods, supplements, and toys you purchase are of premium quality. And if Pepper wants to come along and give his input too, by all means bring him – Mud Bay staffers are always more than happy to lavish four-legged customers with attention and complimentary treats.
