Tomlinson’s Feed & Pets

I’m usually north so this was my first time checking out this southwest location. Double the size! That means they have more inventory to choose from, so I managed to pick up everything I needed without wishing I’d been there a day earlier.
If you haven’t been yet, they have an excellent selection of grain-​free kibble for dogs, treats, toys, beds, vitamins, and all the other stuff you know you buy for your fur babies. There’s a whole section for cats, as well.
If you plan to buy your dog or cat food here, it’s probably worth getting the membership for the discount. $ 7.50 a year and you get 10 percent off each food purchase. You also get on their mailing list for their monthly specials, which sometimes include coupons for free stuff.
Tomlinson’s is a local business that supports local pet rescue organizations. They occasionally have adoption events on site. Their prices are very close or comparable to the big-​box retailers, and you get great personal service, so they’re definitely worth a visit. Parking is easy in the lot.

Whenever there’s a long line of people waiting to pay it would be best if staff would have lengthy discussions with customers away from the counter to the rest of us can check out and get on with our day

This store gets better over time. I’ve been a customer since the first store was the only one in town. They offer premium pet food at an affordable price, especially when you join their pet food club. Also, since this location expanded, it is much easier to maneuver through the aisles with a dog… cleaner, too. I get better prices on most items via Amazon, but I like to support locally owned and grown places like this. My puppy likes the socialization he gets there, too!

I appreciate their natural food selection. The employees at this location are always friendly and knowledgeable. I also love that they support local rescue groups!

I want to start by saying I work in internal medicine for animals, I’ve been working in a private specialty hospital for years now. Both of my dogs have IBD so I have to be very careful not to change their food or give them anything that may cause any irritation. I love the brand Fromm’s, but it’s not carried as widely as I’d like.
I loved that this location carries this brand, along with about 20 others, and the staff here with very nice. The selections from food to treats and toys were great.
They also have a pet club where you pay $ 7.50 and you get 10% off of all food purchases. That’s a great deal!

I went in to Tomlinson’s Sunday to see if they carried my preferred brand of dog food, Earthborn. I didn’t see it, so I asked for some help. The woman who helped me was friendly and eager, but she wasn’t familiar with the brand.
She asked the manager who quickly dismissed the request by explaining «That’s a Merrick brand. It’s their lower end line.» This poor quality, it was clear, was their reason for not carrying it. The associate brought me over to the huge Merrick section to show me other options, but I declined.
The reason for the one star review is because what the manager said is totally untrue. Earthborn is not a Merrick brand, and in the reviews I can find it stacks up pretty evenly with Merrick quality-​wise. It’s clearly fine for a business not to carry a specific brand, and it’s also fine for the staff not to know about a brand they don’t carry. But in the event you don’t know, I don’t think it’s ok to just straight up lie and make something up about the brand — especially something disparaging that would insinuate it’s of poor quality. At best it was uninformed and unprofessional — at worst, unethical.
There are plenty of pet supply stores in Austin not to have to bother with this one.

If you can get past the checkout ritual where the cashier tries to get you to enroll in their savings program, this place is the bomb. I shop local when I can and this place beats out Amazon in every way. The prices and selection are on par with that of the online retail giant, so I get most of my pet supplies here. (With exception of my 40lb dog food, because I’d rather have it delivered to my door, what? I’m tiny)
I prefer this location to the others, because the parking is ample, it’s right beside a target and a liquor store, so I can get all my errands done at once, and the staff is incredibly friendly. It’s definitely one of the best places in Austin for weird pet toys and snacks, so your dog can be as hip as you.

Great local pet store with quality food and other supplies. Knowledgeable staff and a good range of choices.

What a fantastic local chain! They carry Rad Cat and my cats behave like that stuff is crack cocaine! Also, weekly and monthly promotions, and provide a discount to members of their frequent shopper club. A very wide selection of premium food for both cats and dogs, wet and dry. High quality array of toys and collars. A small selection of furniture (but that’s understandable). The staff is extremely friendly and helpful! I adopted my cat from them last year and he’s turned out to be one the most sociable cats ever. They take the time!!!

This is not just the best pet store in Austin, but maybe in all of the nation. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, caring, and helpful… and they go out of their way to carry all the wonderful products that the «big box stores» would never carry. Just one example is their impressively wide selection of healthy, organic, and completely raw pet foods. It is this sort of caring attention to detail that you will find at Tomlinson’s. Sure, a few of their «generic big box products» might cost you $ 1 more than the big box stores, but you are supporting a local Austin business with employees who care immensely about your pet’s well-​being, and you are helping to pay these very same employees a livable wage. Pet owners, please be sure to make Tomlinson’s your go-​to pet store.

This place is great! Get the discount card, it pays for itself almost immediately.

Great store and great service! The only reason I don’t use them more often is that their products are highly overprice and can be found more much cheaper online. They are a good pet store though when you need something quick.

Im giving them a three stars. They had a great selection, but compared to Healthy Pet, they are extremely over priced. I paid 70 dollars for the same bag of dog food I could of bought for 60 at Healthy Pet on Mopac. I was also by myself carrying a 27 pound bag of dog food to my car. Healthy pet always offers someone to assist in carrying it to my car. For the expensive prices I was not impressed with their customer service at all. Don’t think I’ll be returning.

I am back love the selection of Dog and cat food, I think I spend more on my Dog food that I do on my self .
This place just awes me with all it has the great toys, beds, Dog heaven if you will.
The staff answer all questions I ask. It is so clean and really walking distance to me love it will return.

This is my go to place for cat litter! I’ve also bought cat scratchier here, that unfortunately my cats have destroyed. They offer a very high quality litter for the ‘normal’ price then first time you buy it. However, you can then use that same initial container to get unlimited refills on that same type of litter for half the price. It’s clumping and really dampers smells nicely. All staff members I’ve interacted with are friendly and helpful. It’s a smaller place, but the shelves are packed with plenty of product.

Truly, the only complaint I have is that I wish this place was less expensive. Besides that, this is the best pet store in the city. They have an amazing selection. They always love on Jeff the Mutt when I drag him through there. They are on point with recommendations. What else is there? Hell, I don’t know.

Easy access, great parking
They have speciality foods, even the hard to find ones with nutrients or special recomended brands by the vets for your pets.

I love this place! So easy to get in and out. They also helped me find a cat food that my cats would actually like eating.

Love, love, love Tomlinsons. People are friendly and they have an incredible selection of grain (–and-everthing-else-bad)-free dog food and treats.
I’m a big fan mostly because of the morals behind the store and the membership, which is totally worth buying into. You’ll receive discounts on food, and if your dog doesn’t like the food you can exchange the bag as long as it’s over half full. Then they’ll donate the opened bag to a shelter. I’m not being paid to say that… I just think it’s worth knowing!

I came here after one pet store didn’t open when the store hours say so. I called Tomlinson’s and asked if they had any bird food. They did but it was a small section. I just needed some basics. I’ve been bird sitting for the longest time so I had to try to make my temporary pet comfortable. I actually got some good stuff. I had a chance to walk around and they seemed to have a decent amount of supplies for each kind of pet. It is a small store located next to Target. It’s definitely worth going to for some decent pet food and supplies.
