This place is our go to for the best prices around. We buy our rabbit, bird and dogs food here and all are of quality. The service here is also exceptional. They go out of their way to be of assistance. More people need to know this place exists!

This place is tucked away behind an unassuming "factory" type roller door entry. Behind that is a world of products for every pet. Not just dogs and cats - but they have all the special diet foods as well as toys - but also for chickens, guinea pigs and rabbits, horses etc.

What led me here was the search for hay. I have two hutchs of guinea pigs and so buying little bags of hay at $8 was adding up. But this place is near the Showgrounds and racing track and so has supplies of hay in bulk. You can get a bale of hay, which lasts us a good three months because it's really tightly packed, for $15. This is bedding and food. If you want bedding only you can get a bale of straw for $9 and it lasts so long! What a saving.

They also have large bags of the special grain and pellet mix my piggies like for around $ 4 - 5 , not the horrible dry stuff the supermarket sells.

It's right turn at the roundabout opposite the race course and then straight away, before you get to the next little side street, you turn into this roller door opening. Yes, you drive right in. And park and can load the bale of hay inside the actual shop. Then you keep driving through and out the side door into the little street and back to the main road again.

There's coops of live chickens in there, so my young son loves to visit. There's also a resident cat who greets you at the till.

The man in there is helpful, friendly and will have a joke with you. If you can't find what you're looking for, he'll try and find it for you.

This is a gem of a place tucked away and really it's not far from the city or main access to other suburbs.

It's like a slice of the country dropped into a city street - it's never frantic or busy, there's time for a yarn and a laugh and of course a good deal. They even stock hutches for chickens/rabbits in a large upstairs above where they keep the hay.

Great value and just a nice place to do business.

Approximate cost: $15 hay bales - many more items in stock

Very friendly staff and a lot cheaper than internet prices. I've been shopping there for years and have no intention of going anywhere else.
I have a baby, so the drive in service is wonderful. They pack it in the car for you.

I once calculated that by purchasing one large bag of Iams cat food at Ascot Vale Stockfeeds instead of at the local stockfeeds place in Sunshine I saved more than enough money to offset the cost of driving to Fleming and still be a few dollars ahead. Since I usually buy cat food, dog food and kitty litter and whenever possible drop in as a minor detour on my way to the city. The savings are immense. Also, Ascot Vale Stockfeeds have much better customer service. They are friendly, helpful and have a very nice cat who sits on the counter and gets patted and stroked by customers. Well worth going out of your way for.

Yes, I agree this is a special place. And I love that friendly cat. I'm so glad I found it.
