Customer Service Can't be Beat! Dog/cat feed: Natura products (yay! Innova, CA Natural, EVO), TOTW, EaglePack Holistic, Solid Gold, Diamond's Premium Edge (and Chicken Soup FTS, Diamond itself, crud in a bag), Purina ProPlan, Wellness etc. Comparable pricing with frequent buyer savings on select feeds. Samples for customers readily available on shelves, so you don't have to pay $20-40 just to ""try"" a premium, quality, nutrient-rich food. Recently Natura prices up at this store, actually better at Phydeaux, Chapel Hill, but I go to Barnes for good folks, local community feel, and great service! Eclectic variety of pet hardware (Lupine! lifetime warranty, free exchanges!), treats, bones (roasted, pig ears, bully sticks), toys and supplements; bird houses/feeders and feed. Beds/crates. GOOD supply Weaver leather dog restraints. In Spring, Broad St sidewalk storefront is full of their plants for sale, primarily commercialized (Bonnie brand), but still pretty to looksee. EXCELLENT folks workin there, very attentive, consistent, helpful, know their stock and inventory well. If they don't know they'll find out, they'll order it, check with a ""senior level"" employee, they'll ""serve"" you, unlike the chainstores! Special orders also. Also carry Purina livestock feeds, in the heart of Durham, imagine! I'd love some horse dewormers and supplements, but they are just Filled to Capacity already with pet foods. Please, keep their doors open and their staff employed, as I and my crazed critters would miss Barnes terribly! GO get some yummy food! Maybe they'll expand some day and have all my critters' needs met, if you patron their fine establishment that is!
Pros: Best stock of pet feeds in Durham, HANDS DOWN! Supreme Service!
