About Tomlinson’s Feed
Founded in 1946 as a rural feed store in Austin, TX, Tomlinson’s Feed now operates 19 stores owned by four generations of the Click family. With a mission to “Do what’s best for Texas guests and their pets,” Tomlinson’s values guide every decision they make, from company strategy to each employee’s daily tasks.
Back in the day, Tomlinson’s was so rural that they even sold cowboy boots! Nowadays, Tomlinson’s focuses their efforts on providing quality natural pet foods to the Texas communities they serve. One customer favorite is Stella & Chewy's Freeze Dried Meal Mixers. They’re an easy add-on to any meal that needs a healthy boost of nutrients or taste that can only come from raw pet food!

From friendly staff to excellent products, Tomlinson’s has plenty to offer pets and pet parents alike. In-store, they offer:
- Self-serve dog washes
- Integrative vet consults
- Nail trims & fillings
- Drug-free dental cleanings

As a small business, Tomlinson's sets a high standard for all the products they carry. They carry top-tier brands, like Stella & Chewy's, that are family-tested and team-approved. When you shop at this small business, you're getting items the owners and employees trust with their own pets and nothing less.
Supporting Your Local Community
Tomlinson’s local community means the world to them. They love what they do and the people and pets they do it for, and they consider it an honor to play a role in their customers' lives by providing top-tier service and food. What better way to showcase this than a recent review from one of their very own customers:
"If you like good ole fashion personal customer service from authentic folks who love animals, this is the place for you! I’ve been coming to Tomlinson’s for years. Would never go anywhere else. Truly one of Austin’s treasures…. Y’all, please support local business!”
Not only is Tomlinson’s Austin's oldest family-owned and operated pet store, but they also run Austin's largest Pet Food Donation Drive. Every year they give back to their community in the best way they know how– with healthy pet food! Every holiday season Tomlinson’s runs a food drive for homeless pets called Pound 4 Pound. In 2023, they raised over 191,000 lbs. of healthy pet food for 40+ local Texas pet shelters. With this program and many others, Tomlinson’s is able to feed hundreds of pets all year long and help rescues keep saving lives. Tomlinson's Feed distributes donations of +184,000 lbs. of healthy pet food and +$40,000 to over 46 Central Texas rescues every year.
