Four Muddy Paws

We just moved to town and my husband and I walked in on a rainy Sunday afternoon with our 2 dogs for a «do it yourself» dog wash. It was 3:06pm. They close at 4:00 on Sunday and the last wash is 1 hour b4 close. We were 6 min over (we made a wrong turn trying to find it) and they would not let us wash our dogs! The front desk worker said «The guys are real sticklers about it and actually prefer 2:45 to be the last wash time.» We explained we were new to town and needed to wash our dogs and would be quick and the front desk worker said «No, I’m sorry.» Any small business that would turn away new customers with 2 dogs 54 min before they close is not customer friendly and obviously won’t take 6 min of their time to help out a customer. Very disappointed! Not what I expected — most businesses in Edwardsville are very friendly and welcoming. Not this one :(

If you are looking for a place with great high quality dog food. This is the place. They also has fresh baked treats. The prices are reasonable.
The self service dog wash is great. It is clean, the products they provide are of the best quality. You can save a lot of time, mess, and hassle just bringing your dog here and washing them.
We tried the grooming services for the first time and we will be coming back. My dog was finished ahead of time and perfectly groomed how I wanted. He was calm and happy, and had a pleasant experience.
This is a top quality place servicing almost all of your dog needs.

Thanks for getting back to me and offering an exchange! I will stop in tomorrow and update my review more! Many thanks :)

The staff is knowledgeable when it comes to the food in the store if they don’t have the anwser the will try to look it up or call the company. The groomers are great! They always do an awesome job on my akita.

I’m a firm believer of feeding my pets the highest quality food possible. Four Muddy Paws provides just that. Their prices are higher compared to retail pet shops, but that is simply based on the higher quality. Their staffing is always readily available for any questions I have, and I’m always confident they’re guiding me in the right direction. Both of my cats have switched to all raw diets with the help of this place. Their products have helped the transition, and their teeth are already showing improvement. Thanks, Four Muddy Paws for being a «Green Earth Grocer» for pets!

My absolute favorite place to buy my furbabys food! Workers are pleasant and they have a great variety of food, treats, and toys! I describe it to my friends as the whole foods for dogs!

So glad i found this place and was kinda iffy about the selection but when i got there i absolutely fell in love with this place, great selection of raw diets for cats and dogs and ferrets… the employees are real nice and helpful. will def recommend it to other people and they have a customer for life. not buying my ferrets food online any longer when they are just down the road for me.

Took our dog there for grooming and they did a great job! Very happy with how good he looked. He was bathed, dried, brushed, fluffed, teeth brushed, nail clipped, the works! He looks great and is currently not shedding nearly so much, which saves time cleaning the house! A win-​win!

Been going there for our family dogs grooming since 2009. Love the grooming staff and the online scheduling they have. If you try them you will never go any where else again!
The food lines they carry are the best offered and love the wag club where you get a bag free after 10 bags.
Never been disappointed with the store, service, or staff! We are lucky to have this store in Edwardsville!

My dogs and I have been going to Four Muddy Paws since their first location in the city. We were ecstatic when they opened the Edwardsville location! The staff always greet us by name and are very helpful if you need a recommendation on healthy food. We have used the self service baths which are needed with larger dogs like Golden retrievers so your house stays clean! They have all the supplies (natural shampoos, grooming tools, towels and low heat dryers), disinfect after every client and you leave the dog hair and water puddles at Four Muddy Paws! If you need full service grooming they have that also. They sell healthy dog foods, treats, chews and many toys that the chain stores do not sell. Yes, the dog food is more expensive but believe me it saves you money on vet visits if you have an allergy ridden pet. I believe in good quality food for myself so why not my furry family member?! I was impressed when California Naturals had a recall last year and they called me to return the bag! I do not think any chain store would know you bought it or encourage you to return the bag. Why don’t you pop in? You and your pet will be treated as family!

I was a bit reluctant to go to a specialty store since I am accustomed to main stream stores, but I became hooked on this store. The junk food dog and cat food from mainstream suppliers causes my cat and dog to eat so much food that we called them pigs with frustration, not understanding what caused them to be like that. Switching to higher quality food, they need much smaller amounts, and they are no longer pigs as they get full much quicker.
Our senior dog is the love of our life, and her health was beginning to deteriorate, so switching to a high quality food is much preferred over doctor apts. She is responding really well, looks healthier. I also had no idea that my dog would love, love the freeze dried food (would never expect that). There are so many choices and lots of samples to try for your pet to get the shoe that fits for your family pocket book and dog’s preference.
The toys are not your mainstream toys. They are fantastic assortment. Oh, I can’t forget to mention that my dogs love, love, love the pigs ears (chew on them for a week). They have antlers, deer tendons, duck feet, etc. These are great for chewing and they last a long time (much healthier than mainstream alternatives). I no longer go to the mainstream stores. I have been won over. I would rather have healthier dogs than vet bills (and, the prices are a good variety for what I can afford). I highly, highly recommend. Five stars for this store!

The only place my black lab will let me give her a bath. Awesome treats, unique toys, and great food selection. I prefer this local pet place versus the huge corporate stores

Great selection and knowledgeable, helpful staff. Very well versed in pet nutrition.
I love using the dog washing stations. When I’m not DIYing it, their groomers are excellent and have helped me understand the grooming needs of my first poodle.

I love that they carry different organic foods for dogs and they also carry the brand I buy, which is Wysong and is not sold everywhere!
The store is very neat, organized and it has a lot of interesting things. I bought these gorgeous food bowls and a matching cookie jar and they look fantastic. They appear to be hand-​painted and are just really pretty and perfect for my little Maltese Lola :)
Today is my first grooming experience there, so I’ll update later if anything extraordinary happens, but I am sure it will be nice. They also do teeth brushing which not a lot of places do!
I am glad they opened a store here, since before I used to drive to the St. Louis location. It’s a nice place, go and see!
