Tomlinson’s

Love love love this place. The people here are so friendly and so helpful. The dog LOVES everyone here and they offer some really great deals. It’s a small store, but you’ll find all you need in the same shopping center as HEB, does it get any better?! They love for you to bring in your pup and they cater to them when they are in there. Love Tomlinson’s and you should go by.

This evening I decided to finally try the dog wash for one of our dogs that really sheds alot (double coat).
It was awesome! Brushing him with a furinater makes a huge mess even when I try to get most of the fur in the trash or compost. There was one kind of shampoo but 2 really nice conditioners, ear cleaners, towels, rubber aprons for me, several herbal sprays and oatmeal treatments, treats and a super powerful blow dryer! The girl at the counter walked me through the process and before you know it I had spent over a half hour grooming my furball and he loved it! My tip would be to hold the dryer farther away from your dog to help with the loud noise it makes. I also took in a postcard they sent me for 20% off and so it came out to $ 12.99 (usually $ 15). So it is a bit expensive but you get what you pay for. And they gave ME an apple pie! I also didn’t have to hunch over, have a cold wet dog or clean. It was cool ;)

I love Tomlinson’s! I trust that everything they carry is good for my pup and they have a huge selection of toys, treats, food & everything else you need for your pet. My favorite part about this location is the dog wash! I brought Rufus in today and the lady working showed me how to use it. It was insanely easy… the hose mixes soap & water and then you do a rinse. After you can blow dry (Rufus wasn’t a fan of that) or towel them. Towels are provided and so is shampoo, and other stuff like ear wash, scented spray and brushes. It was amazingly convenient and since it is in a closed room I didn’t have to worry about my dog running away. The whole thing took about 5 minutes. I had a coupon for a free wash so I’m not sure how much it usually is but it’s definitely worth checking out if you want to avoid the usual mess of trying to wash your dog at home. Everyone who works here is very nice and knowledgable and they are always willing to help you carry food, etc. This is definitely my favorite pet store in Austin and the dog wash here takes it to the next level! Two paws up!

Truthfully, I think I like coming here more than my dog because he recently discovered their self dog wash stations.
I like that there’s a large array of very high quality dog foods. I think my dog would actually settle for eating anything, so I like that he’s eating a high quality diet. The bulk treats that they have are great and the prices on bones and knuckles in that middle aisle are much cheaper than at big box pet stores. I’m always getting introduced to new awesome treats for my dog that are made and sourced in the US or Canada. The monthly promos are pretty awesome and the savings you get with their pet club membership really pays for itself fast — the food isn’t exactly cheap, but you get what you pay for.
This particular location always had me torn because it’s down the street from Bark & Purr. They’re both on the way back from the vet office when I’m feeling most like spoiling my dog. I just find myself going to Tomlinsons more often.

I am just going to be honest: I probably was a terrible pet parent before stepping into Tomlinson’s.
Everyone here is so awesome and knowledgable. I had a new puppy who was chewing his way through my shoe and phone charger collection and they had just the solution for me. I had a cat who was infamous for the litter trails he would leave all around the house, and they also had a solution just for me. I learned more about quality pet food in my first visit than I ever have in all my years of owning pets, it was great. They also have a wide variety of toys, pet accessories and most importantly: treats.
I do not go to the big box pet stores anymore because Tomlinson’s is my new go-​to place for my fur babies. I highly recommend checking this place out, you will be glad you did!

It’s a great day to be a K9 in the ATX. Friendly peeps, great location, brand products, can’t wait to go back.
Mr. Barnes (K9) needed a new Lupine collar, our favourite brand. Found a great selection to choose from, and, picked up a shiny new engraved ID tag with in a minute to complete the new neck wear!
Chatted with manager and others, whom, made me feel right at home in their new store /​location ~ thanks again for personal service, and great experience.
LG & MB :*)

Still in love with the store and the service! People that work here are always the most helpful and the nicest. Love coming here on a very frequent basis with my little pooch, who loves to sniff the open bulk bone bins and occasionally try to start chewing at one behind my back. :) Love the little dogs that belong to the owner, especially the one-​eyed dog! I want to put her in my pocket!

I am a huge fan of this store! The people who work here definitely do their research and are so knowledgeable on the brands they carry. I always receive great advise on what I should be feeding my pets. The treats are reasonably priced, and they have a good selection to choose from. Also, there’s a membership program that saves me a few dollars each time I pick up something for the pets. And if that’s not enough, everyone here always has an amazing attitude and is very welcoming. Love it!

These folks are amazing! I have an 8 year old dog that I just adopted. He is super finicky so previous owners cooked eggs for him every day and gave him all kinds of snacks to get him to eat. Numerous brands of dog food were tried recently with no luck. Tiffany spent a lot of time talking to me and asking questions. Then she gave me samples and suggestions for mixing food, how to structure mealtime, etc. He ate a real doggie dinner with her first recommendation. I was shocked and am in awe of her knowledge. Not to mention, I am very grateful she figured out my furry friend. It’s the only place I’ll ever buy dog food again.

An amazing local family owned natural pet food store. Today was the Grand Opening of Tomlinson’s 10^th location in Allendale, Austin. I came 40 minutes before the grand opening to get a feel for the real store experience. Moments after walking in a staff member came to greet me and asked if I had any questions or needed help finding anything. The store fits a variety of products into a semi medium — small space. They have a vast selection of natural dog and cat pet foods. I was impressed by the large treat aisle and bins, and the organic bulk biscuits (utilizing spelt as the grain) was a win with my dogs. They have a small selection of toys, and other quality pet supplies. The store is bright, clean, and the staff were phenomenally friendly and informative. The owner, Scott Click was there, and had overheard me mentioning this was my first time in a Tomlinson store, and he came and introduced himself, and told me a little bit more about what makes this place special. I love history, so the facts I found to be very interesting. The store started in 1946 at their 49 ½ street location as a chick hatchery by Mr. Tomlinson. As time went on, the store evolved to match the demands of the customer and became a feed store, which also wholesaled birds to other pet stores. In 1971, the father of Scott Click took over ownership of Tomlinson’s, and they moved into the natural retail pet store it is today. Scott’s children are now involved in the business as well. I love to see local businesses grow and thrive, and there is a reason why Tomlinson’s is now 10 stores strong, because in my experience they focus on quality product and customer experience. I took advantage while I was there to join their Pet club. If you have dogs like mine who can only eat high end expensive natural dog food, then the Pet Club is the way to make it more affordable. For only $ 7.50 per year, Pet Club members get a 10% off all pet food purchases, heads up on monthly specials, invites to seasonal events, and other stuff. They had me at 10% off food purchases. The current dog store I shop at only has 10% off for NON food items, so this was a huge plus for me. I probably will still go find cheap dog toys elsewhere, but I now have a new go to for natural food and treats.

I am a huge fan of this local pet store. They carry quality pet food, indestructible pet toys (a must in our house) and specialty items like cute dog cookies and all the accessories a pet could want.
I came across this new location on my way to a Unilocal event yesterday. I stopped in the get a bag of dog food as we were running low. This location like the others has a welcoming and helpful team. The store is well stocked and carried our go to items like Wellness brand food, venison chews and chicken chips which are locally sourced and natural.
Tomilson’s also does wonderful things for the local shelters and rescue groups by hosting meet and greats with adoptable cats & dogs. They also facilitate deals occasionally where if you buy certain bag of pet food to donate to a shelter it will be matched by the pet food company.
