Would your pup like to hang out at a Doggie Ice Cream Social?

Would you like to save on fun new toys and delicious treats for your furry best friend?

How about the chance to win free pet food for a year?

If so, join Mud Bay for a celebration of the bond pet parents have with their local pet retailer on Neighborhood Pet Store Day on Sept. 28-29 at all 64 locations throughout Washington and Oregon. A Mercer Island store is located at 2441 76th Ave. SE, #100.

“We love the neighborhoods that we live and work in and the special connection that we get to build with pet parents,” said Mud Bay Co-CEO Al Puntillo.

The Doggie Ice Cream Social will be from noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday, while all weekend long there will be exclusive discounts of 25% on toys and treats, and a chance to win a year’s supply of dog or cat food.

“It’s the relationships we’ve built with our customers and their pets that’s allowed Mud Bay to become a trusted partner for nutritional advice and high-quality food and supplies at locations throughout the Pacific Northwest,” said Puntillo. “So, by celebrating Neighborhood Pet Store Day, we celebrate those relationships.”
