Animal Farm Discount Pet Foods & Supplies Berkeley, California

Great store with lots of interesting things that your pets will surely loved!

Great selection and wonderful staff (owner?). Independently owned.

Huge selection of pet items plus bird feeders and bird seed. Fair prices and helpful staff.

I actually only had one brief,definitely typical borderline class facist interaction years ago,so y do I bestow my vote for 5 stars...BECAUSE THEY ARE BEDROCK PRO URBAN WILDLIFE. I DON'T ENCOURSGE HAND FEEDING THE CITY SLICKER VARIETY FAUNA...oops, 'SORRY for the caps" ..but I also feel strongly that human beings have irreversibly hampered,if not pure derailed the natural balance of everything we touch. The innocent beings are owed every break they get. Sensible. critterskitter friendly, safely offered food. Or bird houses that look sturdy and welcoming as well as feral cat bowls, and tons more are to be had in spades here. And I hope they receive all the blessings they give,and empower others to give to the most needy Berkeley natives,the City slicker critters. as always, Be Good,or Be Good at 'it'. R3pt1l3

A fine long-standing local pretty supply shop with adjacent bird feeder supply annex. Personable staff, with a visit.

Great local family run store to get you monthly dog food! Always friendly to me and my dog when we shop!

Great local pet store, chock full of great dog stuff. I went there for that but I would have also gone if I'd had a rabbit, bird, wild bird, cat, hamster, Guinea pig... you get the idea!

Had everything I needed. Great selection. Prices were competitive. I always prefer to shop at the small local.

Calling for a price check shouldn’t be a problem. I gently asked if the shopkeeper knew about the cat food and she said, “Yes.” Ok, so I asked if by chance she knew if the better quality wet food is manufactured in human grade food safe environments. “I donno.” Ok, it was a stretch, but my old pet food supply store Knew all about that stuff and told me to ask about it if I shopped elsewhere. Oh well. So, I asked what the general price range of the wet foods were, not all 20 prices, I clearly asked: “In general, what do the wet food prices range from?” Because the air is purple and the particulates are dangerous for me to be running in and out all over town, looking for a restock of my easily hospitalized kitty. He gets stones but hates hates hates the grain packed C/D prescription diet, so these past two years we’ve seen massive energy improvements and avoided $2,000 hospital bills by feeding the little dude great quality food. Ok? Except, we’re helping my partner’s parents on holiday and suddenly had to stay longer as fire evacuees. I didn’t share any of this, I simply asked for a quick quote as I do my research. I just wanted to get a quote and some (what I was told should be standard) info - without breaking quarantine and entering the smoky air. The particulates are 280 atm and I’m just doing some research in the safety of my home’s air purifier. The shopkeeper didn’t say she was busy, or ask for me to hold (so she could help someone in person). In response to me asking for a general range of wet food prices, she told me I’d have to come into the store, that she couldn’t help me. When I mentioned that I lived over the hill in Orinda (I need to run one more errand in Berkeley, to curbside pickup fabric to make masks with), she told me I should just find another store if it was too far out of my way. Now, I may pay for good quality food, but I’m not makes out of money. I’m a college student with a 15 yr old cat who’s living a better life than ever bc of the high quality foods I’ve been feeding him. I’m not trying to pay for “express” prettiness or w/e. I was trying to support a small business that prides it self in fair prices. But apparently with the discount nature they discount the need to be well informed or intelligent business people. Turning away customers and practicing poor training/customer service ... not ideal. I’ve grown up putting myself through an applied physics degree, working for small business and as a small business waitress, coffee shop manager, etc. I don’t think hearing someone is trying to stay safe from the air and avoid making a ton of stops should be met with “You have to come see for yourself.” Calling for where food is sourced and how much it is generally priced should not be unreasonable questions for a food supply store. I really wanted to like this place, but I felt the need to warn others (and the business) that their poor research and customer service practices are distasteful. Is that unreasonable?

Great selection of items, reasonable prices, wonderful friendly service. Great pet store in this neighborhood (I have tried 4 other places around here in the last couple of weeks).

You can find pet stuff for all sort of pets. Well organised. I purchased a bird feeder from birds section. Liked it

Always a pleasant experience ????

I like going here cuz they have a unique claws there for a wide variety of animals and their very cordial

Good local place women owned, She is very helphful.

Unique selection of pet food. Things you can't find at a chain store

Lots of choices and friendly helpful staff!

I really love this pet supply store. It smells awesome. The people who work there know a lot and seem happy to help. So far, they have had everything I have wanted for my cat. Each time I have been, I felt even better walking out than I did walking in.

Adorable store with super friendly pet loving staff! Great selection of bird houses!!

Great pet food & supply selection & they have a lot of local products.

Nice selection, the prices aren't too high, and it's open on Sunday! Very convenient.

Nice helpful folks. They had the exact bird feeder I was looking for, and also a sturdy deck hanger. I will return when I need more bird seed.

The staff is very friendly, and they love to give my dog a treat.

I am a long time patron of Animal Farm. I would not go to any other pet store. I buy cat food, toys, climbing towers along with bird feeders and seeds they respond to questions about food, litter and basic pet health needs honestly and reflecting others opinions on the use of their products. They know my pets and are ready to help. How could you go wrong buying from the owners. I can see going to big box retailers. Regards, David in El Cerrito

Friendly place that has what my cats need.

I've been going here for many years. This store has a nice selection of both companion and wild bird food. The variety of bird feeders is inspiring. I can find my particular dog or cat food as well. The prices and quality are better than most stores. The frequent buyer card is a nice incentive too. They stay open past 6pm which is nice for working people commuting home.

Great place! Looks small from the outside, but they have a great selection & friendly staff.

Love the owners and their selection.

I was given a good tip by personnel at shop: buy the Hot Pepper suet and squirrels would not eat it. So now my suet is for birds only.

I’ve passed this store for years, but never stopped in until the other day. I didn’t necessarily find discount prices, but the owners are friendly and well informed. I commented on the malodorous aroma of my cat’s poo and they suggested that I focus on meat products (I buy pate for my cat because she inhales the chunks then throws up) to see if it eradicates the aroma. He said that cats in the wild normally don’t eat chicken and fish; it’s the marketing that gets to the owners who think they need to offer the gamut of meat/fish options. I bought about a week’s worth of meat only pates — so far, so good. We also had a brief discussion about litter types - grass vs. clay, clumping disposable vs. flushable (and its contribution to the red tide) as I am not ready to change my cat’s litter unless there is a good reason, however, wanted to know what he thought about the various types on the market. Again, very informative. Since I like to patronize local small businesses, I will definitely stop in more often when I am in the neighborhood.

They offer a good selection of products you will not find anywhere else at reasonable prices. The staff is attentive and friendly. My go to place for wild bird supplies.
