Tomlinson's is a fantastic little pet feed store. They offer a discount club for a small annual fee, and it is completely worth it. All of their food seems to be great quality and they offer a lot of natural solutions. I buy a very specific brand of cat food that I've found to be cheaper at Tomlinson's than at Bark N Purr. The staff is friendly, and they have a really amazing cat that lives in the store. I do wish they had better hours, but I understand that they are locally owned and can't necessarily stay open as late as other stores. I completely recommend this store. read more

Awesome staff. They didn't have the Fromm Gold in stock that I usually get from another store but could have it in store in a couple of days. I received 1 free pound of dog biscuits. Great atmosphere with no pressure to buy anything you don't need or want. My new go to pet store. Thanks read more

I come here pretty regularly and like it. They don't always have everything I need, but they're usually pretty good about referring me elsewhere if needed. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is because sometimes when I go in to buy my dog's supplements for her allergies the staff there lecture me on my dog's diet. I know my dog's allergies, I know what do with her food, I know how to help her. One time one of the staff members started lecturing me about how my vet doesn't know anything and is only interested in steering me towards solutions that will line his pockets. Sorry, y'all don't know anything about my vet, my dog, or the process that we've been through to figure out the whole allergy situation. So I like this place, but I generally try to keep my conversations with the staff to a minimum. read more

One of the first things I noticed about Austin after moving here was how obsessed everybody seemed with buying local. I always have understood the benefits of keeping my money in my community but truly Austin inspires staying local in a way I never understood before. Businesses care. They are so generous it seems like it can't be sustainable, and yet, it is. I experienced a perfect example of that last night at Tomlinson's. I adopted a super sweet 4 year old feline friend for my ol' buddy from Austin Pets Alive (ironically at the Pet Smart.) and with it came a coupon for a "free bag of food or case of food" $10 gift card and a 10% off any other food and a 3 month membership of their discount program. That is a LOT of savings for this cat mama so I figured I'd take full advantage. I got a case of wet food (FOR FREE), a 15 lb bag of dry food at 10% off and used the $10 gift cert towards a litter mat, dental treats and a toy. I ended up saving over 50% off on the whole bill and my dudes are super stoked. I was really impressed at how the sales lady was not trying to get me to take the least expensive item but rather the best deal. I don't know if she was the owner or manager but whatever the case, she is representing the brand in a very memorable way. I remember the first time I felt like I was allowed to "look out for the customer" rather than the bottom line and that was at Texas Coffee Traders right here in Austin. I'm not sure if it's unheard of everywhere but it definitely is in Jersey. Look, this business model is actually smart and sustainable but it also invests in the homeless pets of Austin. I can get behind that. Shout out to Tiffany who was being trained by Madame deal giver who was very sweet and excited. It's always nice to see employees who enjoy what they are doing and who fit the vibe of their establishment well. Kudos Tomlinson's, I will FOR SURE be back. read more

My dog Cornchips and I LOVE Tomlinson's...I have been a pet club member here for 15 years...Friendly, helpful staff and a great selection of locally made and the finest national brand foods, etc. Cornchips loves it because the staff showers her with affection every time...it is the kind of local business that makes you feel good about living in Austin. read more

Me and my dog love this place! She loves the attention and the yummy treats the employees give her. The thing I like most about Tomlinson's is that they have a variety of mid to high quality kibble and lots of treat/food dispensing toys. The staff is very helpful and friendly. It also doesn't hurt that they have baskets of free dog/cat food sample scattered around the store (limit 2). My favorite excuse to pop into Tomlinson's every month is to use their monthly coupons which is available on their website. read more

Had a great first experience here - young lady really took the time with me to discuss my dog's needs and my concerns, and made several great recommendations - including the tip that it would be fine to buy much cheaper canned pumpkin at the grocery store instead of from them. I always appreciate it when retailers are more concerned with doing/saying the right thing. Big selection, friendly staff - I think this is my place now. read more

I found this place after we moved into town, because they are one of the few retailers that sell Honest Kitchen brand dog food. But honestly, I would probably shop here regardless, because every time I come in, the staff is so nice and friendly. It's also rarely busy, so it never takes longer than 5 minutes to get in and out. Oh, and they also have an adorable old shop cat who hangs around and lounges in the sun. Bonus points. read more

Fantastic place for pet food. They really care about ingredients and your pets. The staff is very knowledgeable and they're great if you're buying a TON of food to help you load it into your car. They also sometimes have the ASPCA come by and do discounted vaccines and such! read more

Amazing customer service! The staff are all so kind and caring. Someone spent 10 minutes with me suggesting products to help my dog post surgery. She shared her own stories and made me feel better about the entire situation. The quality of the food and treats is also very high. I won't shop anywhere else for my Lab's needs! read more

Great local pet store. I like to support the local businesses and this is one example of a great store to support in your community. The staff is already friendly and willing to assist. So, if you are a fan of the store why would you only give it three stores. In my mind, if I go back then I obviously like it, hence the 5 stars. Nothing negative to say about this establishment. read more

Excellent local business offering safe and diverse products for your pets. :3

Best dog food in Austin. Helpful & local. Now open Sunday!

Quality pet food, but way too pricey for me. For the spoiled pet lover, this place is spot on. For those of us satisfied with giving our pets regular dog food and treats, this is a treat, but not a place we would go for dog food all the time. Great selection of bones for doggy chew treats read more

I really love supporting the local pet stores that Austin has to offer. This is definitely a good one. It's a bit on the pricier side, but the business itself supports a lot of local product makers. I usually buy my Wondercide products here, but have found it cheaper elsewhere. Their food is too expensive for my taste, but they have the brands I love there. read more

Nice local place to buy quality dog food at a discount!

Tomlinsons on Anderson and 2222 is the best!! I go for dog food and to give my dog baths and the customer service and cleanliness is stellar. The employees are super knowledgeable and extremely friendly. read more

Absolutely love the customer service. I'm not quite a regular but my mother and me have punches food and toys for our huskies. Corey, has great understanding on pet food. My mother who speaks predominately Spanish, her English isn't so great. However my mother has gone in and spoken to Corey regarding Zignature, with no problem and always talks about te great customer service. Very happy that my mom has a store that she feel comfortable and that the staff is always to friendly and patient. I have taken my puppy Sophie to pick out toys Cory made sure the cut off the tags off the toys since my sweet girl insisted on walking out with her new toy in her mouth. read more

The lady who helped me was knowledgeable about crates and all items I needed. I will go back there.

I highly recommend this business. Everyone is very friendly and courteous. And, each person that I've encountered there knows a lot about cat,dog, bird stuff. I have a cat with skin allergies, it's nice to find a store that has products that don't contain a lot of fillers. Keep up the good work, Tomlinson's! read more

Megan was super helpful. This is the place to go if you want knowledgable people and pets that have been well cared for.

Tomlinson's has a great selection of premium pet food! I love going here to buy dog food and treats for my food allergic-dog. Going through food elimination trials to figure out what exactly he's allergic to was a huge ordeal....and the selection at Tomlinson's helped me navigate through that rough patch. I'm especially a fan of their buffalo/bison knuckle bones and their selection of raw food. If you become a member, the food prices are also very comparable to the big retailers. The only downside to Tomlinson's is the limited selection and the relatively high prices of toys and other items. But to be fair, they are a feed store so I just go to Petco or Petsmart for toys, bedding, etc. Tomlinson's customer for life :) read more

Excellent service. Huge selection. Convenient location. Employees love animals and know their stuff. Ask them anything and they will find out for you if they don't know off the top of their heads. They have rewards programs for some of their products. read more

Tomlinson's is an Austin gem for the pet owner. They have the best customer service of any pet store in town. As soon as I walk in the door I am always greeted and offered assistance. On my last visit I took in my dog who had just had his neuter surgery to buy a cone to go around his head to prevent licking of his incision. They helped as my dog tried on several cones to find the exact right size. Tomlinson's also has a great selection of fine quality dog toys that are not available at the big national stores. read more

Went in today for the first time and was very pleased with the customer service, selection, and speedy checkout. I am really looking forward to becoming a regular customer and utilizing their rewards programs. I always dread going to the big box stores and having to haul 40 pound bags of food and litter to my car - not the case at Tomlinson's! read more

Tomlinson's is a neat pet store. They have unique animal toys, food and products. Their bird room is fun to visit too. The prices are a bit high but you get what you pay for. I buy my bird food here because its fresh and I can buy it in any quantity I need. They offer the highest quality food for pets. I prefer this location because Megan the store manager is so knowledgeable and helpful. read more

I would actually give 4 1/2 stars, but that is not an option :) Really, this store is wonderful, and I am so glad we have this source of quality pet food in Austin - the chain stores just cannot compete in terms of selection and price. The only reason I would dock half a star is that there has been a lot of rearrangement in the store over the last year, year and a half, and it can be a little confusing to find what I want. That said, the selection remains outstanding, and I do like the new layout (read: please keep this one!). They did discontinue carrying my cat's favorite soft food flavor - not the brand, just the flavor - but they explained that it was slow selling, so I can't fault them for the fact that my cat just has unusual tastes ;) read more

I absolutely love this store and so does my dog! The staff here is incredibly helpful and I've never found myself in need of something that this shop doesn't have. They carry my dog's food, Acana, which is hard to find, as well as all her favorite treats. Additionally, I feel like I can trust the quality of the products that I buy at Tomlinson's, as they really put a lot of thought into the integrity of the products they carry. With their ever expanding list of locations, I'm lucky to have a Tomlinson's near me wherever I am. read more

This place has a great selection and friendly staff. The prices aren't always quite as low as at the 'big box' stores (though on some things they're lower!). The quality of products is universally awesome. They don't stock anything I would call 'crap.' The food is nice, the toys are awesome. They've got a lot of really nice Starmark puzzle toys, which my dog and I love. They also have an adorable parrot who beeps like the scanner for the till, which is hilarious. Their price on NuLo cat food actually beats a lot of the online pricing, especially if you have their membership. I LOVE their membership program. I save so much on my dog food and I love supporting a smaller business and a smaller chain than something like Petsmart. read more

I've been a customer at Tomlinson's for 20 years, and I'm pained to say I'm breaking up with them. I'm a bird person, and for 20 years, Tomlinson's has had great birds, great bird supplies, and most important, great bird people working there. In the past 2 years, they've changed: almost no birds, vastly reduced bird products, and no more bird people. Very disappointing. Whassup with that, Tomlinson's pet and BIRD store? My parrot and I are sad. read more

Wonderful selection, knowledgeable staff, and great reputation. I have been a regular customer at this location since 1977!

Excellent pet store. This is my favorite location even though it's smaller and a little further from my house but I generally recommend Tomlinson's as a pet store. They have a great selection and well-informed employees that can be very helpful, I think they even get continuous training or something. There's a great loyalty program that includes discounts to make it more affordable and I like that they are supportive of and give-back to so many of the animal welfare groups and charities in the area. It's really popular these days to tout that a business is "local" but Tomlinson's really feels like it's part of the community and has been for a long time (I used to come to this location with my mom when I was in elementary school). Also they are very generous with their return policy and customer service in general. They were especially helpful this past spring when my dog developed pancreatitis and needed a whole diet over-haul, going over labels with me and helping me find supplements, appropriate new treats, etc. I had done a lot of research on my own and was very impressed with their knowledge base. They were also very kind and nice as I was pretty stressed out about my dog being sick and I appreciated that. read more

I really want to like this store since they are local. However, they stopped carrying our dog's formula of dry dog food. Mind you, they still carry the brand, just not the high energy formula that our very active dog requires. We've gone in on at least four different occassions letting them know that we really, really want to purchase our expensive dog food there, but it falls on deaf ears. They can special order it, but that will take a minimum of three days (frankly, I don't plan far enough in advance to keep enough food on hand to do that--plus who wants to make two trips to the store to order and pick up?) I mentioned to them that Petco always has the brand/formula and they are cheaper. But I've always ended with "WE WANT TO BUY IT FROM YOUR STORE". I went in over the weekend and decided that was my last time to try with them. read more

We have been customers of Tomlinson's for at least 25 years. We like doing business with a local company, we get great service from all the staff at the central location. We are also members of Austin Sheltie Rescue and Tomlinson's is gracious to allow us to have Meet and Greets. Thanks folks for all you do. read more

I stopped by today to get some dog food. The person who helped me (not sure of her name) was very helpful, and the store has a good variety of high quality foods and treats. The prices looked very reasonable to me, although it may vary by product. I bought a large bag of Acana grain-free dog food, and the price was much lower than what I've paid elsewhere. The treats I got seemed to be about on par with what I've seen elsewhere. Also, they have a membership plan where you pay a nominal annual fee and get 10% off everything. It paid for itself already, on my first visit. read more

I've been a pet club member here for almost 5 years. For awhile, I had some concern about the staff - not all of them have been that friendly in the past and sometimes I felt more like they were doing me a favor by serving me when I came in rather than me being treated as one of their good, dedicated customers. However, over the last year or so (maybe a bit longer) I've seen great changes with the staff. They are so much more friendly. They are helpful. They are knowledgeable. And I love that when I bring my dogs in, they always come up to them and say hello. Not only that but I really love when they help me carry my purchased items to my car after I pay. This is so helpful when you have two dogs AND all their food/treats to manage. I'm definitely a fan. Their products are great. And if you happen to get a product that your animal doesn't love, they will exchange the product for you - no questions asked, no judgement made. Thanks Thomlinson's! I'm completely happy I've stayed with you over the years and look forward to many more! read more

Always a great experience shopping at Tomlinson's! The employees are well-informed, friendly, helpful; the selection consistently above par. I love the personal service, and love supporting a local company. Keep up the great work, Tomlinson's! read more

This pet store is the best. You're always met with smiling faces and knowledgeable employees! When I adopted my kitten from Austin Pets Alive!, they were generous enough to give me a few freebies too. Keep up the great work! :) read more

LOVE THIS STORE!!! The staff is what makes it great. They have gone above and beyond for my dog Jax. BUY LOCAL!

Tomlinson's is the best. I've only ever received exceptional customer service here. Employees are educated on the products, and they seem to have personal experience with them - I've bought dog food, chews, and a harness all on their recommendation, and they've all worked out great. And they don't seem mind at all when my puppy insists on slobbering all over them, which is nice. read more
