    Those of us who are committed to urban homesteading and keeping backyard chickens, heritage and rare breeds fall in love with our flocks and find the trouble and effort to care and protect them from predators nothing compared to the joy they bring to our lives. I love this store because it carries high-quality organic feed for my girls. It is always fresh and it is easy to reach the store by phone to make sure they have what I need in stock. They even offer to reserve a bag for me so I know it will be available to pick up when I come in. The staff is very friendly, and knowledgable, and it has always been quick and easy to reach them by phone and no wait when I go in person to the store. Best quality animal feed, and treats at very good prices. They offer delivery service only to the very small immediate area of the store and I live in Twin Peaks, perhaps a mile outside of the official delivery zone. Without a car, it is very tricky to pick up heavy bags of animal feed to transport back to my house and an option to deliver even at additional cost to me would make them an even better solution esp in less safe wet weather. I need to be more organized to plan as other sources deliver only with advanced notice (such as family-owned best source for all-things backyard chicken supplies Judychicken.com store of Mill Valley Chickens farm - A+++ delivery with a fee depending on distance and advanced notice. Tell them I referred you.). Fresh animal feed cannot be stockpiled or it gets stale and attracts rodents, and this is why I find the regular need for access to in-stock feed for my chickens. Within San Francisco, Bernal Beast is a valuable source of in-stock organic feed for my chickens as long as I'm able to pick it up. Willingness to be flexible in delivering slightly outside the neighborhood and accommodate clients who are unable to safely pick up and transport heavy bags of feed would make this a 5-star review, and in the meantime I continue transporting 25 - 45 pound bags of feed strapped with bungee cords to my electric scooter, up and down the steep streets between Bernal Heights and Twin Peaks, to feed my flock freshly milled organic layer crumble. I've been a good customer and asked at least three times for delivery slightly outside the delivery zone to accommodate my needs so that I'm not having to put myself in harm's way to access organic animal feed. Despite a refusal to accommodate my needs, I still give them 4 stars! I value our small independent businesses and believe it is worth doing what we can to support them to ensure they thrive in our community. I try to have reasonable expectations and actively refer others to local small businesses. Accommodation to the needs of the local customer base though is helpful, even in times of robust business. A willingness to be flexible when possible and warranted, can preserve good will and matters more than we realize.

    Wonderful store with high quality products for very reasonable prices. They even provide free treats both outside in the dispenser and inside at the counter! They have been around for almost 30 years, I'm definitely shopping here for my dog from now on.

    Lovely neighborhood pet care/food/need store that I think (?) is family owned and run. Whatever. It's just nice to get away from the chains and feel connected to where my money is going. And I think it's going to the neighborhood and the greater good. Well stocked store and they will order something if you need and cannot find it. In the well supplies shelves. Chickens? Rabbits? Cats? And of course, dogs! Just ask! Puppy socials and training classes are offered in house too, for you new parents. And frankly just stop buy to check It out. The store has this log cabin Mendocino vibe. Little hippie-dippie! But lovingly so. Small business at its best.

    I love going to Bernal Beast! The owners are very sweet and it's clean and well-maintained. I want to give a special shout-out to one of the employees that works there. His name is Dillon. I have a 15-year-old cat, whenever I go in with any concerns for her that may help her with giving her pills, not eating or anxieties from hyperthyroidism. He always gives the best advice and the items he recommends always work. He's always patient, sweet, and kind. They are lucky to him and I feel lucky to have someone like him working there so close to my home. Thank you, Dillon, you are the best!
