Jefferson Feed Pet & Garden Center

Ok. After wrongly posting a review on here for the Jefferson Feed on Magazine, I am now going to properly review this location.
The parking isn’t bad during the weekday. The staff is friendly. Aisles are decent size, the store is neat and clean. I think that the prices are reasonable, and I am glad to patronize local. They do have a variety of supplies. And here is where I am going to admit something big. I don’t have a pet of my own at the moment. So why am I so willing to come to a Pet and Garden Center, when I haven’t mentioned plants? I love dogs. My sister has a dog, and I sneak treats to her. And toys. There. I said it. Its now out there. Call me a weirdo if you want, I don’t care. And I will admit to bribing my roommates dog with treats to be quiet. Or maybe the dog has caught on and is only making noise because it knows I am home and wants a treat. I don’t know.
Any way. The store is great, the staff is awesome, I will be back.

absolutely fantastic for canned and dry cat food! they carry a variety of brands, including some super premium high quality stuff i’ve never seen before. you can find something for even the pickiest of eaters or most specialized of diets. the staff is ridiculously knowledgable, helpful, and friendly. prices on litter are a bit steep; it can be found cheaper elsewhere. i also wish they carried a larger variety of cat treats. bonus: you can drop off your mardi gras beads here. they will be magically re-​used and generate profits to benefit shelter animals!

I love this place. Always has what I need and great food selection. Vet next door is also a plus!

I discovered this place while driving by when I first moved into the Gentilly area. I had to drive to Metairie to Double M Feed, so I LOVE the convenience. I absolutely love this place. It is so clean and well organized. I have been in a few times and everyone has been SUPER helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Especially one gentleman and I never got his name unfortunately. (He’s the shorter, stockier guy. And I don’t mean for that to be snarky in any way!) I have had the pleasure of dealing with him twice and he is always willing to answer all my questions (and I have lots!) and thoroughly explain my options. Good and bad. My only complaint is that there is no hay selection. They only have Timothy hay, which is essential, but I like to give my bun different kinds once in awhile to mix it up.

This place is right around the corner from my house, so five stars for the convenience!
Moving on.
Yes, this place is more expensive than Petco or Petsmart, but it has the best prices for a small (er)(ish) business in the city. I buy Blue Buffalo for my dogs twice a month. The huge pet store chains usually charge $ 53 for the bag, and Jeff Feed charges $ 57. So, we are really splitting hairs here.
Also, when you’re dealing with a business like this, you can find help with products from people who actually know what they are talking about. For example, I was looking for a natural teeth cleaner, and they recommended beef trachea. Which they had in stock. Weird, but it totally works! Saved us on a dental cleaning for the first time in years!

Reading these other reviews I am not sure what happened with me but it was NOT a pleasant experience. Prefer to shop local so stopped in here Tuesday as I live in mid city. They do not carry my brand of feed at this location but can have it sent from the other location and will be here Saturday. I tell Them I will be out by Friday but will grab something to make it till Saturday When I show up to pick up my order they don’t have it. They did not do store to store transfers this week. We can have it here next Saturday. Next Saturday? Don’t worry about it. ill keep driving out to Double M on West Esplanade. Better service and a better attitude by the employees

This store is great! The staff is always helpful and friendly. They are very well educated about nutrition facts especially when it comes to picking the right food for your dog. Everytime my dog and I come here I am treated with respect and always feel welcome. Great Pet Store! Will be Back.

I love these guys.
1. Them being here means I don’t have to venture into metairie for quality cat food
2. The staff is always so friendly and knowledgeable
3. The store is always clean
4. They have a very good selection and will make special orders
Plus:
My hubs found an abandoned 4 day old kitten so I ran in to grab some supplies. They carry both the power and the liquid kitten formula and 2 kinds of bottles. The employee heard me talking about the kitten and gave us a rescue discount. yay!

Love this location as well as the original on Jefferson Hwy! They have a great selection of dog foods & treats! The staff is knowledgable. Petsmart & Petco just don’t compare! It’s nice to be able to talk to someone who understands «good dog food» HOWEVER, The listed address on Unilocal is WRONG! The right address is 309 S. Carrollton Ave.

We love supporting this local store as opposed to the nearby chains. We come here for World’s Best cat litter, science diet cat food, and Taste of the Wild dog food as well as our other sundry pet supplies. However, I have to grab my Arm and Hammer cat litter deodorizer (the best of the best) from a grocery store. It’s a lovely store, but is a little small and missing that one essential item (they have the Tidy Cat brand, but that stuff doesn’t work half as well. The lack of selection is the only thing keeping it from the 5^th star.
I would be remiss if I didn’t take a moment to recognize the awesome staff. These folks are knowledgeable, friendly, and super crazy helpful. There’s a guy who is usually here when I come in and I wish I could remember his name right now, but we talked gardens and he fixed me up with a natural, acidifying soil conditioner that seems to be doing the trick. Really, if they carried the litter box deodorizer (i hate going to Rouse’s) I’d give them all the stars.

I had a very positive experience here yesterday. Had to pick up some flea drops for my cats and after the purchase the cashier asked me if my house and yard were being treated as well. I told him that we were doing both and he proceeded to give me some tips about yard and hardwood floor treatments that included products that could be purchased anywhere. He was very nice and helpful. He easily could have sold me the item I came in for and shooed me out the door. Ingress and egress is simple and pain-​free! Will come back here for sure.

Yessssssss finally in the area. Look out Petsmart & Petco. And in this complex, oooooh yes.
Easy to navigate aisles. Friendly staff. A plethora of supplies available as needed. Dog foods, toys, chews etc.
I stopped in to get supplies for a new litter of pups. In total I got leashes, collars, a dewormer & 7 in 1 vaccinations; all equivalent to the cost of an office visit for one pup.
The staff member was quite knowledgable & informative. Did I just get a crash course in breeding??? I think so. Lol.
Love this place. Glad it’s here. I’d love to see this place expand with more goodies.
Ooooooh quick note: there’s an adjoining door that empties into a vet office/​clinic or boarding facility of some sort, idek, next time il nose around to find out more.

If you love your pet, or if you are caring for a rescue, this is the place to go. for all your animal needs. They have a wonderful community feel where I have received tons of advice from both staff and customers. They have so many organic options that don’t break the bank for once. I needed formula for the kittens I rescued and they cut me a deal because I was buying them out! And even when they ran out, they called me as soon as the new shipment came in.
We lost our cat yesterday and they happily posted our flyers on both their glass doors. They tend to get good results with that so they asked that once we find her to let them know so people will stop worrying. We were more than happy to call them when we got her back. This is my go-​to place to shop for all our crazy cat couple needs. If you’re a pet person in mid city, pop over and get to know them. I’m so grateful that we did.

Good mercy me, this place is a paradise for those bleeding heart, hippie pet owners who do things like use sustainable, flushable kitty litter or feed their dogs all-​meat food. We are, in fact, those weirdo pet owners who go for the wheat by-​product litter and grain-​free cat food and organic cat chews. (I was an art major, okay? I must have inhaled too many of the wrong fumes somewhere…)
But whatever, this store is the place to acquire such items in the GNO metro at good prices. Their prices for our litter (Swheat Scoop) are competitive with Amazon, and they can do custom orders for larger bags. We plan on trying out that service. An employee told me that I should call on Monday to place a special order that will come in on Wednesday. But they can get larger sizes of products that are already on the shelves if you have more animals than a small bag will satisfy.
The grain-​free pet food selections are stupendous. We stopped by to pick up a bag of a specific brand, but talking to an employee (no name tag, otherwise he’d get a shout-​out of awesome!) led us to another, cheaper brand. Did y’all catch that? The employee advised us that the cheaper brand was actually the better brand for our pets. I’m delighted with the service here, and that makes me want to come back and shop more. Talking to the employees about their experience and relationship with new feeds and products is a win-​win-​win, and I love it.
Of course these products are going to be more expensive. We know that. But if you need a grain-​free food or want to try a new way to hide your pet’s pills or owe your neighbor a bag of their fancy kitty litter, don’t bother with Petco/​Petsmart. Just come here. They actually have your small brands and unusual products, sold by people who know what they’re selling.
Accessibility notes: Doors open in. Medium height counter. Aisles can get cluttered. Shelves are high with heavy products stacked on all levels. Not all prices are posted. No Braille signage.

I was on a mission of mercy and picked up dog food (not in my neighborhood) for a friend. The staff was really nice and repeatedly offered to carry the bag of food to the car. The prices seemed compatible with big box chains, but this is a locally owned store. (The original is in my childhood neighborhood). PLUS you get the convenience of down the street, well y’know if you’re my friend.
Nice selection of doggie items, collars, treats, food, etc. I didn’t look at cat stuff.

When you’re desperate for cat litter because you emptied the box and failed to realize you had barely any litter left, this place will come in handy when you’re in a pinch.
Mostly dog products, with some cat and small animals. There is not much variety either. They had 1 small handle jug of Tidy Cats and it was way overpriced at $ 9. I purchased it knowing I could go to Target and get the bucket for just a few dollars more. There were a couple other higher priced choices that were all natural such as Feline Pine, but I’ve tried them on my cat– she didn’t like it.
