Grayslake Feed Sales

Best place for chicken feed and supplies in the whole area!

I go there to buy rabbit supplies.
Best place to buy rabbit food, rabbit toys, rabbit food conditioning mix, and treats. They also have large bulk rabbit timmy hay in the back if you ask them. Forget ever going to the large chain stores. I LOVE this place.
Also, they now sell chickens as well as anything you could imagine; bird houses, garden seeds, horse equipment, dog/​cat food, hay, local honey, duck & chicken eggs (when available), bird food, fish food…
If you don’t see something you need ask them, they are just super friendly!

Great prices, selection and helpful staff. Will place special orders for items not regularly stocked.

They have any all pet stuff a girl could want! Great prices as well. I walked in the front door and to my surprise there is a live cat lounging on the stack on pet beds. It automatically put a smile on my face and gave me a good first impression. (I am not a cat person, but I am an animal person!)

They have feed and supplements for every animal you can think of, and if they don’t have something you need, they will find it. Plus my dog loves the loading dock guys because they hand out cookies.

Looking for dog food at better prices than you’ll find in pet stores and online? Well look no further because Grayslake Feed has you covered! They have a large selection of high quality dog food brands (not the cheap stuff you’ll find at Petsmart/​Petco/​etc. Don’t believe me? I was able to purchase a 30 pound bag of Taste of the Wild salmon pet food for $ 40. Check online and you’ll find it for $ 50+ not including shipping costs.

This is the only place I’ve found where I can buy Canidae and Felidae, and the prices are better than I have found online. They have a great selection that you won’t find at a chain store. The first visit might be intimidating for someone new since it’s a little old school with the paper ticket and driving around back to pick it up, but everyone is really nice and will tell you what to do.
I wanted to share the following story to show how they care about their customers, but please don’t start dropping off wildlife at their place or they will hate me for sharing!
Awhile back I saw a momma duck get hit by a car, leaving all the babies stranded in the street. So I’m crying in the pouring rain, stopping traffic on 120 to round them up, and I’m sure I looked pretty pathetic when I stopped by the feed store to get them something to eat. They gave me a heat lamp to borrow and I don’t think they charged me for the food. I got the ducks home and all set up in the bathtub while I called around to find a place to take them. Then found out I underestimated how loud the chirping would be, and I also underestimated the time it would take for the excitement to wear off for my dogs (it never did). So after an hour or two of chirping and barking, I called the feed store for advice and they told me to bring them back so they could stay at the store for the night. PLUS they knew of a customer that has had experience raising ducks & got in touch with him. I didn’t exactly think the whole thing through when I picked them up, so I have no idea what I would have done with 20 ducklings, but I didn’t have to worry about it since they saved the day!
The only gripe I have is their hours — only open until 5 on weekdays & Sat morning & no Sundays. So I really have to plan ahead to make sure I have a free Sat morning coinciding with when my food is running low. Also, it can take a really long time to order & wait in the car line for pickup since it’s really busy on a Sat.

I’ve been buying dog food and lawn and garden supplies here for over 10 years. Everyone is helpful, friendly and you can’t beat their prices. It is the only store that I go to that I trust their advice because they’ve never let me down. Also they carry many made in the USA products. I rarely write reviews but felt I had to review Grayslake Feed Sales because they go above and beyond and are old-​school trustworthy

Great for the better brands of dog food and cat food. They have a great selection of no-​grain and all-​meat brands for our more carnivorous furry friends. They don’t have a huge variety of small mammal food (it’s OK, it’s not their specialty), but they have enough that I can get all my pet needs in one trip. Check out can take a little long if they have more than a couple customers in their small store, but again, that’s just the type of store it is. I’m happy to make the extra trip here to get my specialty pet food.

As I visited to replenish our bird feeding supplies this afternoon, I was reminded of 2 more reasons why I will remain a loyal GFS customer. I was about to purchase 20 lbs. of feed in 2 packages and my sales clerk, who was manually noting my purchase items on an invoice while also handling an incoming sales call, momentarily ceased what she was doing to suggest that I could purchase 25 lbs. of feed in one package for less than 20 lbs in 2 packages. Save more money aside from GFS’s already low price? Heck yeah! Sign me up!
As my sales clerk resumed her tasks, I was engaged in an internal debate about whether to report a recent first-​time-​ever service glitch pursuant to a brief encounter during my last visit (which after my original review). I soon realized that I was OBLIGED to do so, since I wrote about my GFS experiences to fairly offer feedback, and GFS should be afforded an opportunity to address and remedy the glitch that I encountered. So, I advised sales my clerk of the glitch. No exaggeration whatsoever; my sales clerk appeared to be genuinely distressed by my report, so much so, that I found myself assuring her that it was the first glitch that I have encountered in well over the 10 years that I have been a GFS customer. As we discussed details about what occurred, GFS’s owner’s daughter, herself a sales clerk, a shelf stocker, a floor sweep and pretty much whatever else a situation du jour may demand, overheard our interaction, and then she appeared even more distressed; crestfallen in fact. Both ladies readily offered their sincere apologies, assured me that I had a valid concern and that it would be promptly addressed. Both ladies asked, if I should ever encounter a service glitch, that I immediately advise someone at the desk so the glitch may be remedied to my satisfaction right then and there.
THAT, dear reader, was excellence and grace through adversity in action, and it also why I upgraded my assessment of GFS from 4 stars (or, «Yay! I’m a fan.») to 5 (or «Woohoo! As good as it gets!») After all, can anyone reasonably demand better than a single service misstep, spanning well over 10 years, and a genuinely credible, empathetic and gracious response? I don’t think one can.

One of the best places in the neighborhood to stock up on goods for our furry and feathered friends. (yes, if you have hoofed friends you should check them out too.) Always well-​staffed with knowledgeable and friendly folks. They have an incredible selection of bird seed – doesn’t matter what kind of bird you’ve got they’ve got what you need to feed ‘em! Dog and cat food too if you buy pre-​made vittles for your furry pals.
Prices are so much better than the local pet store chains which I actually find to be a little sparse and depressing.
Lots and lots of doggy treats and toys, leads, bowls and other supplies – but I’m still looking for that great toy that my Staffie can’t destroy. (The closet I’ve found is a tough rubber ring sold at the major pet chains.) But GFS has some really unique doggy treats that my pooches find quite satisfying. They have a teeth-​cleaning crocodile greenie that my border collie is particularly fond of!
All in all, though this is the place to go when our furry, fuzzy, floppy, and feathered friends need something to chew, chomp, crunch, chow, or otherwise entertain them,
