What Chow Down Pet Supplies does

Chow Down Pet Supplies is a privately held, Colorado-based specialty pet retail chain operating six brick-and-mortar stores across Montrose, Delta, Evergreen, Fruita, Grand Junction, and Pagosa Springs. The company sells premium and raw pet food, treats, and supplies across dogs, cats, birds, small pets, fish, horses, and livestock, stocking a curated portfolio of brands including ORIJEN, RAWZ, Stella & Chewy's, Fromm, ACANA, NutriSource, Small Batch, and its own private label. Customers are primarily pet owners in rural and mountain Colorado communities, with secondary segments in small pet, bird, and livestock owners; no B2B or institutional customers are disclosed.

The company's offering extends beyond commodity retail into a portfolio of in-store services: grooming, self-service dog wash, nutritional counseling, and a dog bakery. The technology layer is the eTailPet-powered e-commerce platform at shop.chowdownpetsupplies.com, which supports online ordering with in-store pickup, curbside pickup, local delivery, same-day delivery for orders placed by noon, no-contact delivery, and an Auto Order monthly subscription program. Free local delivery is offered on orders over $50. Marketing relies on Facebook and Instagram activity plus word-of-mouth referrals, supported by 489+ five-star reviews.

Revenue is generated through four streams: in-store retail sales, e-commerce sales, fee-based services (grooming, dog wash, nutritional counseling, bakery), and recurring subscription auto-orders. The company is independently owned with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity. Headcount is reported as 11-50 employees, consistent with a small regional multi-store operator. No revenue, founding date, or ownership details are disclosed in the source data.

Company assessment

Direct peers

Pet Supplies Plus: Multi-location independent pet supplies retail chain in the U.S. Operates a comparable store-within-a-store model selling pet food, supplies, grooming, and self-service dog wash across regional footprints — the closest structural analog to Chow Down's six-store format.
Pet People: Regional pet retail chain with neighborhood-format stores offering premium food, grooming, and self-wash. Similar size and operating model to Chow Down and competes for the same independent, premium-positioned pet parent.
Kriser's Natural Pet: Regional multi-store pet retailer focused on natural and premium pet food plus in-store grooming and self-service wash. Closely mirrors Chow Down's premium-and-raw positioning with services attached at the store level.

Tractor Supply Co. Rural-lifestyle retailer with extensive livestock, equine, and chicken feed categories overlapping Chow Down's horse/chicken/livestock offerings, plus growing premium pet food — relevant competitor in rural Colorado trade areas.
PetSmart: Largest U.S. specialty pet retailer with hundreds of stores plus services (grooming, training, vet). Represents the broad incumbent Chow Down competes against for premium food, grooming, and supplies customers.
