Animal Farm Discount Pet Foods & Supplies

If you want to be yelled at by a store clerk when you are asking their advice, then this is the place for you. I have 4 bird feeders at home; someone told me that they get more unusual birds by putting out millet. I asked the guy what he knew about that and he screamed at me after hesitating because he didn’t know the answer to my question. I promptly left. There are other places in town.

NOT KID FRIENDLY the same thing happened to us that I read from another customer only this time it was the woman, not the man who told my son «enough with the squeaking» when he was innocently squeaking the dog toys while I looked around we were only in the store for a total of one minute when I decided to take my business elsewhere.

I ran in the other day to purchase a hummingbird feeder and some other bird supplies and was astounded to find an entire large room dedicated just to birds, with a happy live bird talking away nearby. They even sell tiny brushes to clean the hummingbird feeders. Their selection of other pet products is astounding as well. The place has a quirky neighborhood feel to it, and is not at all like the industrial-​style box stores. I found the service to be genuinely kind and helpful. Will return!

My go to cat food/​treat/​toy/​grooming supply location. Great selection, they have it all in a welcoming storefront convenient to Acme Bread. They also dispense practical, thoughtful pet care advice. Thank you for making our community more pet friendly.

Clean, tidy and well organized. I got some very helpful advice regarding items to purchase for our newly adopted pooch. Really love this store and will be back for more supplies.

Love the neighborhood market feel of the place, for what I buy their prices are better than the chain stores, and when one of my pets developed diabetes and had special diet needs they were able to offer great advice and directed me to a product the she liked and improved her quality of life.

I’ve only been here once thus far so I’ll be back with an update in the next few weeks, but for now: it’s a small shop so selection is limited and seems a little pricey but it’s conveniently located right around the corner (great for last minute kitty litter runs!).
On a side note: the staff was nice!

I love mom and pop pet stores. I try to go here for my pet supplies whenever I am in the area. They have a great selection of stuff and they carry the Orjen treats my dog loves, which are hard to find. I like that they have a punch card and you get $ 5 off when it fills up– I am a big fan of incentives! The staff are very nice and helpful. I will definitely be back!

It’s nice to find a family run pet store that knows a lot about pets and their products. My cat was losing a lot of weight until I got their recommendation for a unique brand of cat food. Thanks, my cat looks great.

I’ve been shopping at this place for years… but no more. Today while I was checking out squeaky toys for my dog, I was chastised by the man behind the counter. He demanded that I stop squeaking the toys, that it was driving him nuts. He was extremely rude and sarcastic and mean. I think he could use some obedience training! I won’t be going back to this place.

This is my closest local pet store, and though it’s expensive and the service has often been poor, I’ve shopped on and off here for 11 years because it is so close. I’ve been treated rudely by the woman who runs the place several times (they never want to answer any but the most simple questions), but today she stepped over the line and I will never go back.
I called to ask what brands of premium dog food she carried. She said there were too many to list and wondered if I had a particular brand in mind. I said no, and asked if she could list a few. She refused. Continuing to be patient and nice, I asked what her top sellers were. She said «Origen» and flatly (& rudely) refused to list any more, even when I told her I was trying to help a friend who wanted to purchase from them and was in urgent need of dog food advice.
As another poster reported, there is a MUCH better option a couple blocks down at San Pablo & University: Pet Food Express. And the ABSOLUTE BEST option in Berkeley is Holistic Hound on Walnut, where ALL the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Holistic Hound especially makes it so obvious they care about your pets, when clearly all Animal Farm cares about is making a buck.

This is the best pet store ever. John has carried 20 – 40 lb bags of corn to my car a zillion times and always with a smile. He was also very helpful in choosing the right seed for my backyard birds. Friendly and knowledgeable people make Animal Farm a great shopping experience. Lots of products. Much better than pet chains. Check them out.

I love this store! They are very knowledgeable about animal care, have the best healthy food and snacks; and i love their cat collars! It’s also so nice to walk into an obviously non-​chain animal shop where you feel a personal love of animals. Highly recommended.

I have been coming to this store for years — alway nice people, good advice, and top notch dog and cat foods. The prices are better than the big box pet food stores as well. I can’t believe some of the negative comments, these people must have been having a real bad day. Put me down as a very loyal customer.

Have been coming to Animal Farm at least every other week for years for dog food, cat food, budgie food, and all these assorted animals’ accoutrements, as well as for wild bird feeders and seed. The owner and her staff have always been friendly and helpful, Rommy (sp?) the African Grey is occasionally sociable as well, and my GSD always gets a treat when she comes in. This store is well-​stocked with a wide variety of quality products at prices comparable to the chains. I’ll happily continue to shop at Animal Farm.

The staff at Animal Farm are friendly, knowlegeable, and very helpful.
They have a great selection of food, treats, and equipment, and have the best selection of wild bird seed and feeders.
Try it! You’ll like it. And the prices are good, too.

I came in at 9am sharp to purchase some topical flea medication for my dog, and was welcomed by the clerk immediately. She informed me of the most popular brand, told me exactly how to use it, and warned me that it is a little bit pricey, but nonetheless an efficient product. It was a short encounter but she was concise and very helpful. I will definitely be back on a regular basis!

I really like this pet food store. Today I bought a new leash, some wet food and a bully stick.
will be back for sure.
the customer service was good.

I’ve been driving out of my way to buy my dog food at Animal Farm for years! They have a wide selection of things for my pooches, including Merrill’s canned dog food which even makes my fussy eater lick the bowl clean. I can’t find Merrill’s anywhere else. I’ve read the negative reviews about customer service, but I’ve never had anything but nice interactions with the people who work there. Prices are reasonable, parking is easy and I like supporting a local business. All plusses in my book!

I love going to this place to get my Pug’s dog food. Very easy to get to since it’s right on San Pablo. Lots of ample parking and I never have to wait too long to pay.
If you want holistic dog food, they carry several varieties. They also carry food for other types of pets (cats, birds) and have an array of pet supplies and toys.
Also, make sure to get their punchcard to get a discount for every $ 100 you spend!
Support your local businesses!
