I love this place, except the young woman who seems new and distracts all the young men from doing…read morethe good job they do with her conversation. What happened to oversight? Started going back to PetCo because they have focus and will put everything in the bag when I leave. Maybe she could go back in stocking and stop detracting. Nice woman, just not any focus. And distracts everyone from focusing on the job at hand. Like I said, love this place, but.... Better for me to go to Petco and get what I need. With the padres losing so much, it's not even the padres discount at Petco, but just making sure I get out with everything I went there for. She's very friendly and nice, but doesn't have animals on her mind like the rest of the team. Maybe she'll grow into the maturity it takes to do the job, maybe she won't. In the meantime, you're losing customers and I take my $300 a month+ and go elsewhere. It's a small drop in the bucket, but watch the faces and rolled eyes customers give to each other when asking questions, or when you're trying to check out and she's literally tacking at the guy trying to check you out. Someone should be paying attention there who is oversight. Perky doesn't cut it anymore when you can get what you want for cheap and get free delivery, or go to the kahootz in Poway, or Petco. Or Amazon. Really used to love this place. But.... When customers have to point out the shortcomings of what training isn't covering then there's a problem from the top down. When you have people sitting in the oversight chair up on the right side, you'd think they would be listening to see how things go, instead they join in. I'm too old for this crap. They seem to be the only game in town for a lot of items. I've spoken with two other people who go there who have had similar issues when asking for help there. Like her saying "she" (instead of "we") doesn't carry it, so she doubts the existence of a product. Seriously. Has done this to me twice. And to two other shoppers I know who are friends. What's going on there? It doesn't matter to me, I am going elsewhere again. Just when you had me back. So, don't even bother replying, not coming back. I hear there's a new pet store setting up in town. I guess competition causes competency. Eventually, she'll learn the job if people start mentoring her.

I have been wanting my own flock of chickens for a long time and now with the help of Elston Hay &…read moreGrain it's becoming a reality. The prices are very fair (way better than online). Alyssa is very knowledgeable. She told me everything I needed from the type of chickens I wanted (I want a friendly group to be a part of our family) to the best way to build my "predator proof" chicken run. She helped me make a plan so I can have a different variety of chickens in my flock as well. Her sister was very helpful in store, she showed us around all the chick needs and even helped us to find a heating lamp because they had run out in the store. She helped us learn some tricks of the trade to keep our little chicks healthy until they are capable of handling the elements. I was nervous to start this new adventure, but what is so wonderful about Elston Hay and Grain is the knowledge and expertise I found with the employees. I am excited to raise my first flock of chickens and with the help of the Elston's I feel even more confident that it will be a huge success!

Farm, Homestead & pet people beware when you purchase your chicks from Hawthorne Country Store!…read more They put tiny rubber hair bands on the chicks legs. We found 1 on one of chicks that was green, easily seen & immediately removed it before it cut off circulation and damaged the chick BUT...... there was a light purple band on another one that we didn't see! Now the chick needs medical attention, her foot will need to be removed for her to survive. This is a pet of ours, a silky chicken that has been put through so much already. We contacted Hawthornes and they said we could exchange the chick now 7 weeks old and attached to our family as we've been taking care of her round the clock. They say "they will take care of the chick as best they can if we exchange her" ..... BS, She will be euthanized. We've requested they have the rest of her foot taken care of by a vet and ensure she will be ok with just a peg leg on one side as a get her back to us as AGAIN, SHE'S OUR PET! They said no, exchange only. PROOF they will euthanize her.

They offer pet food, live stock feed, grain and bedding, tack, and propane. I was surprised by how much hay they carried and how busy they were when I visited. They also offer tubs and farming and hardware for animal husbandry. They also have sort of a general store, but for animals and livestock. The staff members were friendly and busy. They were readily helping customers and filling orders for them. There's parking in front and more on a paved service and turn to the left.

It was one of those expensive hoses too but we knew it was an accident. My girlfriend said dont worry about it and that was that. The owner Chuck surprised us later that day and brought me a brand new hose. He was such a nice person. This place will go above and beyond. They deliver and they have very fair prices. Im definitely going to recommend this place to everyone I know.

If it's just a matter of bringing it from the Escondido store then why isn't it stocked regularly? Obviously people are buying it so it should be noted and stocked. Having owned quite a few businesses myself I'm always surprised that they're out of stock.

Everything's neat, clean and organized. They always have what I need and sometimes introduce me to something newer or better. Their prices can't be beat, easily the best price on Star Milling that I've seen anywhere in the county. My cats have also gotten a better grade of food since I started buying for them here as well. Once again, they're still a bit less than the big guys down the block but for the same quality food.

I've been coming here for just over ten years. I can't recommend this place enough. I normally…read morecome for waterfowl feed but have been frequently surprised to find things I normally get elsewhere ( cat food ) here, but at a better price. Mostly they stock things you simply can't get in a chain pet food store. This place is clean and organized, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and I've never had a bad experience here. I miss the cats that used to stand guard but times change. I try to come here for as much as I can because I'm always concerned about our local businesses surviving. If you're in Escondido and looking for pet food, consider starting here just to get familiar with the place. The big chain places will be around forever, and so will the lesser grade foods they sell. This place sells only the good stuff, no garbage foods.
