One could assume from the name that they only serve the needs of larger animals or those critters considered "un-domestic" (e.g.: horses, chickens, goats, etc.)... But au contraire!!
They have just about every brand of specialty dog and cat food imaginable... which just happens to comprise the bulk of my monthly grocery bill (ahem, yes I know I need a life)... but I digress.
Not only do they carry these foods, but their prices are SIGNIFICANTLY lower than some of the other specialty shops and something I would associate normally with big box stores. So when I can save $30 to $35 dollars off a bag of dog food that I was previously paying $105 for - well let's just say you have my attention!
They have the normal assortment of toys and treats for the little home bodies as well. It's not a huge selection, but very adequate. They also sell every imaginable vaccination for just about anything with four legs or the feathered two-legged variety.
Then we move on to the things I don't know nearly as much about. They have just about anything you would need if you owned horses, pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc. And I'm not talking just the pens to corral them, or the food to keep them all happy, but the actual critters as well. If you go, make sure you go in to the back where they have the hatchery to see all the little ones. They are way too cute!
One half of the main store seems to be dedicated to horses and tack, but I have never owned one, so I can't really speak to that.
Top this all off with their grooming services and this place is a virtual one stop destination for your pet needs!
Overall I have found that my fondness for The Stock Shop has increased with every single visit. The staff is friendly (i.e.: they always make me put down my bag of food so they can carry it out to the car), they have all the big box benefits but are small and personable, they make it a point to ensure you know that if they don't have it they will get it for you at no additional cost, and you are going to spend way less money for the same exact product!!
Love this place!
