About The Muddy Dog

It all started with the original Muddy Dog, Holly, our much beloved arthritic golden retriever. Conventional dog beds weren't offering her the luxury and comfort she needed to rest so, noticing how much she enjoyed our down comforter, we set out to design something that would give her the coziness, warmth and skeletal support she craved. Holly finally got a good night's sleep and gave her sumptuous down duvet a two paws up. We asked a few other dogs to try it out, and they all loved it more than any other bed they had.

The people they owned asked us for stylish covers of the highest quality textiles to match such a luxurious duvet and a simple way to keep the duvet cover clean. (Between dirt and fur, we all know how those covers have a way of frequently needing a good wash.) Understanding the need for speed, we introduced the Dog On It™, a quick on and off over slipcover, in genuine Polartec® fleece, offering a snuggly sleeping surface for our pampered pooches and the best fleece fabric available for the people that love them. We also wanted to make sure that our down duvets were eco-friendly, so our inserts are certified to be free of all substances harmful to your dog and your family (either carrying the Oeko-Tex certification, or certified under strict European environmental controls).

We love coming into work every day (accompanied by our "product developers", of course). We're passionate about providing the best possible duvets and accessories for our beloved pooches and their people. We offer what we look for when we shop - a well-designed product using the highest quality components backed up by prompt, friendly and helpful customer service.

We love hearing about your pets, so please share your tales/tails with us at tails@themuddydog.com. And as always, we love getting your feedback! Whether it's a new product idea, a thought about something you've bought, a suggestion to help us serve you better, or a comment about your local retailer (or somewhere that should be your local retailer) - we're all ears at speak@themuddydog.com.

We're located on the beautiful coast of Maine and we think the state's marketing people have it right when they say, "Maine, the way life should be." If you are visiting Vacationland, please let us know..we'd be happy to share our recommendations for the best lobster roll, charming hotel or things to do and see.

Woof!
