The General Store

Proud to offer the best for pets and wild birds since 1982. Family. Values. Love. Three words that are at the heart of everything we do.

Established in 1982, The General Store is a family-owned and operated business that makes a point of treating everyone, vendors and customers alike, as family. The relationships we have forged over the past 35 years allow us to offer only the best products for pets and wild birds. All of our products must meet a simple standard: they have to be something we would happily take home to our own pets.

Every pet deserves the best, and we take great pride in offering exceptional values every day. Our own values wouldn't let us do it any other way. We love our pets, and we love pet lovers. Come see the difference for yourself.

Unfortunately we will not be receiving the Humbl shelf stable dog food in jars. I was notified this morning that the company has permanently closed as they have been unable to overcome quality issues involving the integrity of the jar seals. We share your disappointment as we had been looking forward to sharing this food with your and your dogs as much as some of you were looking forward to trying it. We also commend Humbl and their commitment to quality such that they would rather close the company than make any compromises.

Despite this unexpected bump in the road, we remain committed to seeking out and sharing with you the absolute best products for your pets. Just not this one, apparently.

The latest toys from KONG have arrived and there's something here for every dog to love, from plush toys to toys with loud squeakers to treat dispensing toys for extended play time and even the latest addition to the ever-popular Jumbler line of toys.

COMING SOON! Our most anticipated new food is gently-cooked human-grade dog food from Humbl Pet Food. Humbl offers gently cooked dog food using EU-quality, human-grade, non-GMO ingredients sourced from small European farms. Using a low-temperature steaming process, each recipe is cooked to naturally protect nutrients, moisture and taste without the use of preservatives and is then packed in shelf-stable glass jars. We have had this on order since the first day it was available and we are excited to be able to share it with you (hopefully) soon.

We have just received another 1800 pound shipment of wild bird seed so we'll be fully stocked for a while. As always, our seed blends contain none of the fillers (like milo and oats) found in cheaper wild bird seed that birds just don't eat.

Intentionally designed for hummingbird lovers by a hummingbird lover with 35 years of experience in the bird feeding industry, the Glass Sipper is the most refined hummingbird feeder we have seen and we are excited to share it with you.

Internationally published nature photographer and award-winning author Jacqueline Crivello designed this feeder with hummingbirds' health at its heart and thoughtfully crafted it to nurture and protect the birds we love to welcome back year after year. It features an all-glass reservoir to ensure the nectar isn't contaminated with micro plastics or toxins and a top made from human food-grade material that is anti-microbial to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria. Available in 8 ounce and 12 ounce versions as well as an optional Sipper Guard umbrella.
