Tomlinson's Pet Supplies Story Tomlinson's was begun in 1946 by Mr. T. R. Tomlinson as a chick hatchery at our 49 1 location. As the area began to change and the pet industry began to grow in the Post World War II era, Mr. Tomlinson changed his market focus. The business developed into a full-line "feed store" offering livestock feed and supplies along with poultry. In the mid-1960's he began wholesaling birds to other pet stores across the country. In 1971 Liniel Click bought the business. With the help of his two young sons, Marty and Scott, Liniel operated the neighborhood feed store providing everything from horse feed and live chickens to western boots and nursery plants. Again, as the Austin area and the pet business changed, Tomlinson's changed with it. Livestock feed and poultry were gradually phased out and the business moved more heavily into the retail pet trade. The wholesale bird business was also expanded with regular buying routes across Texas and an increased customer base in all 50 states plus some foreign countries. In 1986 Liniel's son, Scott, came back into the business full-time after graduating from college. He now oversees the wholesale bird business that was began by Mr. Tomlinson and was continued by Liniel. Additionally, the Click family has expanded the retail portion of the business into five Austin area neighborhood locations. Although our stores still carry a small quantity of livestock feed to meet the needs of some of our old friends, we now focus on selling premium pet food and supplies and maintaining a "family" of store managers and staff who are knowledgeable and experienced in many areas of pet nutrition and care. Liniel still remains actively involved in the business, and both he and Scott are dedicated to seeing that their stores provide personal attention and friendly service to their valued customers - both old and new.

Great customer service and they deliver, even 40# bags of dog food locally without charging. Prices on Diamond Natural was on par with other places.
