Hohl Feed & Seed Co

Feels like a true family pet store! My favorite part about this place is the wide selection of rabbit supplies which are hard to come by unless you are looking for the same old stuff you can find at pet smart or petco. But not only do they have a wide variety of rabbit supplies, the also have a huge selection of cat and dog supplies! It’s really the best bang for your buck as well. The staff is helpful and friendly, and they get more and more friendly the more you visit.

We had 5 star service here!!! The woman who helped us spent a good 30 minutes with my boyfriend and me helping us find food, treats, ect. for our new kitten. She was able to explain the science behind the different foods and how the chemicals or proteins will affect the kitten’s bladder, growth, ect. For her alone I would give 5 stars! The only reason I’m not is because the store is a little dirty and they didn’t have the type of leash we needed– that part of the store was a little bit understocked (there wasn’t a lot of options). But with a new pet this would be a perfect place to ask questions and get genuine advice and suggestions for how to care for it and what is needed!

For me, the jury’s out on this store. There are aspects we really appreciated here, but others… not so much.
The good: the place is HUGE. It’s like a warehouse, actually. Wide aisles. Well organized. Lots of dog stuff, cat stuff, stuff for ALL types of pets. The dog toys and collars and leashes were all reasonably priced. There was a large selection of nearly everything pet-​related. Birds and gerbils and rats and just-​born chicks in cages in the front. Garden accessories. You could spend a day here, looking around.
The bad: we arrived in the store about 10 minutes prior to its closing time (unknowingly). I was in the market to get a dog harness for my unruly pet, so I was comparing the various models, in open view of the two guys who work here. There was no one else in the store, other than my kid. Not once did either guy acknowledge me or ask me if I needed help (which I did!). They were chatting with each other by the front counter, looking occasionally in my direction, but not interested in assisting me (and I kept taking various harnesses off the rack and replacing them, reading all the packaging, not sure what to get. It was clear I was interested in getting one).
The ugly: the two guys started closing down shop and shutting off all the lights, with my kid and me still inside! No advance warning, no asking if I needed help, nothing. I apologized for coming in so late, and in the increasingly darkened store, one guy said «it’s ok, you still have one minute left». Perhaps this was meant to be humorous, but my kid and I interpreted it to be snarky. We left without buying anything.

Super friendly service! Always helpful to help me find good solutions for my special needs cat and super fat dog. They always let you hold the bunnies and such, my son loves that! Love supporting such a well established local company!
Love the home and garden section two! Great prices and an excellent selection!

We recently moved to Bham and have been in this store a few times. We were in with friends a few days ago and asked the man at the cash register if the kids could pet the bunnies. He said it was fine. My friend picked one of the bunnies up so the kids could pet him, and he started squirming. Just as she was putting him down, the old lady starts yelling ‘NO, it’s too hot! Too hot! See, he’s squirming ’cause he’s just too hot to be held.” Ok. Fine, I get that. My friend puts the bunny down, and we proceed to just look at the animals.
My daughter is interested in a button quail. I asked the woman about their needs, and told her we had a very hormonal cockatiel recently, and the vet (as well as a breeder, a zoologist, and a bird boarder) recommended we get another companion for him, as he was hormonal and requiring socialization. I told her that when my husband refused, we even considered getting a hormone shot for him (very common practice in severe situations like ours). She started to get indignant and was mumbling behind my back to an older gentleman about the ethics of giving a bird a hormone shot, then yells over at me wanting to know who my vet was, and that «he» (my vet is a woman, thank you very much!) is a scam artist and unethical and was just trying to sell me something. She was gruff, rude, and made myself, my friend, and our kids uncomfortable. We were considering purchasing button quail from this store in a few weeks, but will not any longer. Save yourself a headache and get a fish next door. They are much friendlier there.
