Animal Farm Discount Pet Foods

Great service with knowledgeable staff. Small, local store if you want to get away from big box experience. And they have a nice rewards program. PS - they spoil my dog

Wonderful place for premium dog food, chicken feed, fish food - our family has a lot of critters so we're here all the time! I've been a customer for more than a decade and rely on the staff's friendly help and recommendations. We're lucky to have a local place like this for toys, pet gear, and food.

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.

Best place to get dog food and treats. Nice selection of top notch, high quality food. Good prices and fantastic rewards program. Knowledgeable and helpful staff. Open late.

Cool funky historic building with old wooden floors that could probably tell a story or two. Resident African grey parrot always has something to say.

Next door/Wild Bird section has selection of goods for supporting wildlife: bee houses, bat houses, lady bug houses, bird houses and bird feeders.

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.

I have shopped at Animal Farm for years and I am dismayed by some of the negative reviews that have been written. I love this store and I am extremely loyal, not despite the staff (as some people have commented), but BECAUSE OF them! One of the owners, John, is very helpful and probably the most knowledgeable person I've ever come across when it comes to all things animal and/or pet related. He has given me advice on everything from how to treat an ear infection to how to get an older cat to eat better to how to ease a puppy's separation anxiety. (I find it interesting that in a recent review, the woman commented that she had been a longtime customer, but yet she referred to "the man behind the counter who said his name was John." Well, I don't think anyone who has been patronizing Animal Farm for "years" would NOT know John since I don't think I've ever been in the store when he WASN'T there!) I've never been treated rudely by ANY of the staff. (Although the parrot behind the counter has told me "good night!" before I was leaving the store....maybe a not so subtle reminder that it's time for me to wrap up my visit???)

As for the store itself, it has a great selection of products and the prices are very competitive. They carry the highest quality dog and cat food lines, and the cost is the same or lower than you'll find at any of the large chain stores (if you can even find the same product). That's a pretty good deal when you consider how much more a small, locally owned business has to pay for their products in comparison to the wholesale prices that the big-name stores are able to negotiate for themselves! I have a dog and two cats, so I'm always buying all sorts of other things in addition to pet food (toys, litter, brushes, shampoo and TREATS), and I've found those things are almost always less expensive here than anywhere else (even lower than Target).

I don't usually write review, but I really wanted to give this store the kudos they deserve.

I've had great experiences at Animal Farm and have been shopping there for four years. John is especially helpful and knowledgable. Today I went in and told him about my very sick kitty, and he gave me some suggestions for improving her diet to boost her immune system and for getting her to drink more (tuna water!)
They have a great selection too.
Anyways, I'm a loyal customer and shop there for most of my kitty needs!

I only moved to Berkeley 2 years ago and was delighted to discover Animal Farm, closest thing to the feed stores I love back home.
Here's what I've experienced:
They do indeed carry the full spectrum of animal foods, accessories and toys.
They are indeed very helpful and knowledgeable about products and animals.
Their prices are reasonable and affordable for me on a limited budget AND they have those great frequent buyer cards.
Hope this balances out some of the negative reviews! I say check them out and see for yourself.

The people at Animal Farm are wonderful. We get a special order cat food which no one else carries. And their prices are great. I highly recommend them.

Also -
check out the bird food and supply store one door down. Part of the same establishment. They have bird houses and bat houses!

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

I've been a loyal customer for 15 years. My 2 cats are currently 20 years old and continue to be in good health, mostly thanks to the great pet food advice from the owner of this shop. I'm very grateful.

I bikes here on February 14th and saw they were closed. This was a very convenient place to get dog food in West Berkeley.

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).

I moved to this neighborhood a couple of years ago. When I adopted my pup about six months ago, I knew he would love Animal Farm. We walk over and the folks behind the counter always have a treat for him and are very kind. We grab our chewies, chuckit balls, and score the frequent buyer points and head off on our walk.

I'm a big supporter of local independent shops and I am so happy to support Animal Farm. The selection is amazing, the staff are helpful, and my pup loves it.

This place has a great selection of foods and toys! And the people that work here are sweet and welcoming. I am so happy to have found this pet store!

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

Very knowledgeable. I have been going here for years. I have never heard a negative word spoken in the store. They are always very helpful and friendly. Good supply of everything.

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.

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

They have always worked with us to give us the best experience. I love the cheery greetings we always get and out dogs love the treats!
