Our Story
Elsa Wulff opened the doors of the first Mud Bay store in 1988 believing two things: People should feel welcomed and happy they visited, and she had a duty to graciously help everyone who came to the store—even if it didn’t result in a sale.
What began as a single store opened by Elsa just outside Olympia, Washington, is now the largest pet retailer headquartered in the Pacific Northwest. And we’re still tightly focused on creating a culture that makes all feel welcome, while creating a helpful experience for everyone who visits us.
Our responsibility to be gracious doesn’t stop at our customers—we also want the best for our people, too. That’s why we’ve worked together to create an employee stock ownership plan to contribute to a meaningful career and secure financial future for all Muddies. And today, the people who work at Mud Bay continually make the commitment to one another to build a strong, lasting company we’re all proud to work for.

I did not catch the name of the person that helped me this afternoon but they were amazing. I walked in after Bear got through with his dental surgery, full of anxiety said associate spoke to me calmly about food options and samples to try. I fully expected to pay but was surprised when all they asked for was pictures to see which ones he liked best. Here’s bear vigorously enjoying the duck pate we licked up today. Highly recommend this friendly and welcoming store, I’ll definetly be back for all the boys dietary needs.
If you have a chance to stop into the new Mud Bay store, consider purchasing a little something for the animals at PAWS.
