Muddy Paws

This is a wonderful little store. The owner is so friendly and knowledgeable and always happy to give out samples. He also has a treat ready for our dog when we come in and a warm hello. The prices are reasonable for what you are getting, which is high quality pet food, and they have a great selection of bones, tracheas, etc. They also do adoptions on Sundays!

A small shop that packs a lot of good. They always have the essentials and if you call ahead for special items they’ve offered to order them in for me when they’ve been out. The staff is really friendly and super helpful. My pup approves too after they gave him a premium snack just for stopping by!
They also have cat adoptions in the back garden area a lot so if you’re shopping around for a new friend check on the weekends.

It’s a cozy little neighborhood pet store. I love the weekly Cat Adoptions. I got Jackson from one of those!
Yes, there’s a NYC Pet store down the block… but I prefer this place. Unexpectedly, they have lower prices on canned food here than the chain store a few blocks down. Heh.

Needed cat food bad.
Michael at Muddy Paws was awesome, he had my brand and he will deliver. 5 Stars for service, inventory and general awesomeness.

The good people at Muddy Paws are as kind to people as they are to their pets. They are friendly and professional. Their hours are longer than most supply stores if you happen to work late, and the pet shower station is a great convenience. They definitely have my on going business.

This place is the best! They always have what we need in stock, they’re open late (which has been helpful on so, so many occasions), and the staff is really friendly. The owner is great too — he’s given me helpful advice and sent me home with tons of free dog food samples (and they’re all grain-​free!)
Really glad that I live so close to Muddy Paws… and so is my spoiled dog.

Convenient local pet supply store. Employees are always friendly and helpful.
If you want something that they don’t have they’ll usually order it for you. Prices aren’t the best, but they mainly carry top-​notch products, and its hard when they’re trying to compete with online stores, and the PetSmart’s of the world. Keep your money local. Support small business.

I took our dog there for a bath. Great concept of wash your own dog. They have you two towels for drying and the shampoo came out of the hose. You also get a couple of brushes to make it the job easier. They only have one stall so you might have to wait a few mins. You are provided with a waterproof apron but because you are using a table and not a tub to wash your dog you end up getting pretty wet. I would go back but wear shorts and flip flops to avoid getting soaked. They also have a loyalty card that earns you a free wash after you visit five times. They also carry a full line of pet food. Plenty of grain free food and lots of treats.

I love this place, they are well stocked with all of the right stuff for your animal. Blakely who works there is awesome, and provided me with such great insight into what I should be feeding my puppy, who is so happily chewing on the delicious chew toys she recommended! THANK YOU BLAKELY!!!

I’ve been to Muddy Paws about 6 times for various cat adoption events and every time I end up buying lots of toys and food as well. The staff is super nice and if you ask for something they don’t have, they write it down and try to stock it for next time. I wish it was closer to my apartment so it could be my everyday pet store.

The people here are lovely. They actually let me take an airline-​style carrier home to see how my cat would fit into it with the understanding that I could return it for a full refund if it was not right. I don’t think many stores would let you do that.
Also they are very well-​stocked and you can tell they care about their work, that is, the animals.

Great little neighborhood pet shot. Competitive prices, great service and well stocked. No reason to shop online or in a bigger store. If they don’t carry a particular item just ask and they will order for you. Also, many natural and holistic options.

This place is awesome. I felt the need to do this review because I was checking Unilocal for time of operations today and I came across a couple comments that took me aback in regards to their unhappiness with the dog wash aspect.
For me, I wash my dog here because it’s convenient, really affordable for what you get, and much easier there than at my place. My dog sheds a lot and would make a huge mess in my bathroom. My tub would clog and hair would fly and stick to the walls, shower curtain, tooth brushes, and everything else during toweling & blow drying. Now, if I had a yard and it was summer time, I’d just wash & hose him down and let him hang out and dry out in the sun. But I don’t have a yard, let alone a water hose with warm water, and it’s winter out.
Yes, it’s a shower and not a bath, which I prefer since it doesn’t waste as much water and it’s easier to get into those nooks & crannies. No, there aren’t new towels… that’d be absurdly wastefully. Based on size, it’s like $ 15 dollars to wash my dog. They provide everything including shampoo and conditioner, towels, brushes, dryer, etc. How much do you think it would cost to have someone come over or go to someone to wash you dog? Plus, it’s important to me to bathe and groom my dog because it’s bonding and I love the cubby dude.
The staff is so sweet and awesome. They even let me marinate my dog for 15 – 20 mins in his special shampoo. The general products here are high quality and much better than things you’d find at pet co. Etc.
The only complaint of mine would be the cow penis treats. Those things are crazy stinky.
Any ways, this place is just plain awesome. It’s down to earth, super friendly, and I find a lot of value here.

This place is awesome! No great shops in crown heights and this is close to my job so I shop here now. The two women in there (Heather and Carmen) are super helpful and very friendly… I highly suggest shopping here.

I just don’t get the whole wash your own dog at a store gimmick.
It is so god-​damn hipster.
Does the cast of Portlandia work here? Do the patrons smell like a banana plantation?
Either you pay to have someone wash your dog or you wash them at home.
End of story.

The owner of this place is a really nice lady. She had told me a few years of her store and I never went to check it out. So glad, I finally did ! … I had too since my dog was very stinky and she really needed a bath ASAP.
There is a nice room to wash your doggy by yourself, there is a table where you chain your dog, the machine with the cycles Rinse, Shampoo and Conditioner, and the Dry machine. I washed & dried my dog and I could tell that she enjoyed a lot, she was nice, quiet and relax. The store sales food and treats for pets, so after a nice bath, what better than to spoil my darling dog with some chicken treats and bone. The clerks were very nice, they gave me my frequent user card, which means with 5 wash I get one free. If you bring a second dog, there is $ 5.00 off the second dog’s wash.
I did end up getting my sneakers and pants wet, so it helps if you bring an extra set of clothes to change on yourself, unless is the summer and you will be wearing shorts. I did not mind getting wet, it was lots of fun.

This review is about the self service dog wash only!
You don’t wash your dog in a tub, but a clean sealed room be warned you will get soaked.
I was disappointed, that there were no combs to brush my dog, nothing to clean the dogs ear, plus when drying not allowed to brush dog. Last thing I need is my dog getting matted.
I felt I didn’t get new towels more like used towels from previous wash.
Staff:
Very accommodating, and nice. They were great!

For the most part the staff is great (not all of them appreciate my humor), great products, and a self serve dog wash! My dog loves it here so much that she will lead me there almost as regularly as she leads me to the wine store. The fact that she loves a place where she gets her bath, is extremely impressive. They rearranged their dog treats so now she can actually pick her favorite one out herself.

This review is for their self-​service dog wash.
We’ve been to a few other places in Brooklyn that had a self service station but they were either cramped or surrounded by barking dogs in kennels. Muddy Paws has a good sized private fully tiled room that was pretty clean. There is a wooden picnic style table, a wood slatted platform to stand on and they supply you with a waterproof apron, shampoo, bath mitt and towels. Unfortunately, for our medium sized dog, the table wasn’t secure enough, there is no lip or barrier to prevent her from trying to jump or slip off so she kept moving around. Also, they should recommend you wear galoshes.
Its probably fine for washing smaller dogs. And after 5 washes the 6^th is free. The staff is friendly and was sweet to our pup!

Reasons to visit Muddy Paws:
1. It’s called MUDDY PAWS
2. Very friendly staff who actually want to help
3. Open fairly late (8 or 9pm)
4. North Brooklyn Cats (
) hosts a cat adoption event almost every Saturday or Sunday and the kitties are ADORABLE!
