The General Store

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.

We are participating in the Blessing Box Network's June Community Food Drive to collect non-perishable food donations. The Network partners with local churches to help keep their blessing boxes clean and stocked. We have a box for donations of non-perishable food for people in need....and their pets, too!

This time of year we typically see less activity at hummingbird feeders as mid-May to mid-July is nesting and breeding season for hummingbirds in this area. Not only are female hummingbirds busy sitting on eggs and raising their young (they may even raise 2 broods per season), they require much more protein so their diet changes to up to 75% insects and spiders (normally a hummingbird's diet is closer to 90% nectar and 10% insects). You should see more hummingbirds at your feeders by the end of July as the baby hummingbirds begin venturing out into the world.

In the mean time, don't forget that nectar is perishable. Experts recommend replacing the nectar and cleaning your feeders daily when the temperature is above 85 degrees and every other day when the temperature is above 80.

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.

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.
