I stopped into Barkley’s looking for new food options for my two beagles and cannot say enough good things about the help and education that the staff provided. She walked through all the options while taking into consideration the breed, their specific health needs, and my desired price point. I was so impressed by and appreciative of her knowledge on all aspects of animal care. I have been trying to find healthier alternatives for my fur babies and despite all the self education I still never felt confident that I was giving them all they need. I can say wholeheartedly now that the self doubt is gone because of the time and knowledge of the staff. It feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders! On top of all that, I felt the prices were super reasonable especially for the quality of the products. Also happy to learn that they will ship items as we are moving out of the area - and loved the good karma vibes she put out by encouraging me to check out and support any local businesses that might carry similar items in my new area. Cannot recommend this place highly enough and will certainly be...
Read moreI don't usually take time out of my day to leave reviews, but the service here was amazing and I wanted to share my experience. I live in Brooklyn and I have a subscription with a raw dog food brand; they hadn't delivered on time during the week of Christmas and so I was afraid I'd have to change my dogs diet for the week while I was with family for the holidays, which can throw off their whole digestive system.

I really appreciated the extra effort and they not only saved me a lot of stress, but also prevented a week of feeding my dogs not-so-great food. Thank...
Read moreVisited for the first time, they seem to have a large selection of food, treats, toys, etc. But I didn’t make a purchase because of the sales woman who was giving a dog owner information about food because their dog may be exhibiting signs of a possible allergy (even the owner wasn’t sure), telling them that the dog maybe allergic to grains and the grain free study that has shown to cause heart disease in dogs is a lie and “old school vets would say the same”, also telling them that they need to feed their dog a certain way because “dogs are descends from wolves”. As someone who is part of the veterinary field I feel the only advice should be to consult their vet before trying to offer any type of medical advice. I understand trying to sell a food but this type of information coming from a person just trying to sell someone dog...
