While traveling through town, we realized we had forgotten our dog brush. We happened upon Barnes Supply Company and are so happy we did! They not only had a wide variety of brushes, we also found a high-quality Kargo car harness for our beagle. The staff helped us use a tailor-style tape measure to find the right size and did a custom fitting for the harness right there with our pet! Simply amazing service and the prices were reasonable. read more

The employees are always nice! They always have what I am looking for and always offer help!

I love this store for unique pet supplies and great service. A little bit over priced but the selection is worth it.

The staff was very nice and they had a great selection of basic garden stuff and pet supplies. Our dog LOVED the marrow bones so we will be back for sure. Prices were reasonable. read more

My favorite place to buy dog food in Durham. It's a bonus that it's local, but they also have a great selection and have better prices than most of the other stores in the area. Service is always quick and friendly, and because I often have my infant son with me when I stop in to buy dog food, staff members have been very kind to offer carrying out the bag to my car. I highly recommend stopping in for pet or gardening needs! read more

Excellent pet food store with courteous staff. Highly recommend stopping in! Great selection of high end food.

We really like to support local and this place has become our go to place for dog food as well as gardening supplies. The workers are always so nice and helpful. read more

Barnes is an exceptional store. It has food, treats, toys and gear for a variety of animals (including birds), plus garden decorations and even hand crafted jewelry! It's the cheapest place to buy our cat's raw food, and they offer membership discounts on certain items (such as kitty litter and pet food) once you hit a threshold of number of items you've purchased! Not BOGO, but more like buy 15 get one. I'm just guessing on the number, it's probably less than 15, but I'm always happily surprised when the cashier says my bag of food or litter is free! read more

Need high quality pet food and supplies? This is the place! Need garden supplies and plants? This is the place for that too! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Cool building. Limited street parking in front, but also available in back of store. read more

Barnes Supply - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

The place smells like dogfood! It seems like a carnival of ideas if you have a dog. I have a cat, so I was not much interested.

Nice local spot to pick up pet and garden supplies. Their seedling selections looked very healthy. Friendly staff!

Everyone here is so kind and friendly. Being a new puppy parent I was clueless on various things. The guidance I received was very helpful and without asking other tips were provided. I highly recommend this family business. Kicking myself that I can't recall the names of the people I spoke with specifically. read more

The best! Love this place. I've been coming here for so many years and have had consistently awesome service. They stock high quality brands for my pets at competitive prices & the staff are knowledgeable. A durham staple!! read more

I called them to ask if they sold sod- they do not. However, the lovely woman provided us with three names of other places who do. Great customer services. I will be going to them for my needs in the future. read more

This is a bit like a Phydeaux lite - garden shop hybrid. Not as much selection for your furry friends, but still several dedicated aisles. Lots of healthy brands of pet food, including several bags that feature HOWLING WOLVES. Is your pet bad-ass? They will be. If that doesn't convince you, maybe the nursery aspect will. From little (seeds) to large (uber weed pressure sprayers), lots to get your garden growing. Also a gorgeous-sounding collection of wind chimes. And near the checkout, their own preserves alongside staples like local apple butter and honey! read more

We love going to Barnes, and so do our dogs. The people who work there are super-friendly, always offering to carry a heavy bag out to the car, asking about our dogs, and giving our dogs treats. On the "seed" side of feed&seed, they have a lot to offer too, in the way of tools, supplies, plants, seeds and advice. Don't be scared of the parking here -- even if the Elmo's lot is full, there are three spots directly behind Barnes just for Barnes customers, and there's almost always at least one open. read more

This is the place to go for gardening and animal supplies! The selection of dog food is superb and the customer services is outstanding. They have a wide selection on gardening tools, supplies, and trinkets. Whether you are looking for food for your chickens or dogs, or sprucing up your garden, they will have what you need and be glad to help you with any questions you may have. If you are buying your dog food here, make sure you inquire about their frequent buyer program! read more

Super helpful and friendly staff! Great selection of top-notch dog food. They also have a wide variety of seeds. I love going there and being able to bring my dog along too. It's great to see a quality, local place like this when there are so many large corporations taking over. read more

Where can you go and get all Natural dog and cat food, a jar of local honey, and enough herbs and vegetables to start a garden! That what keeps me coming back! Great deals on bulk food, knowledgeable staff! Great place, when your done grab yourself a free candy or dog treat or a bite to eat on Ninth st! read more

Barnes Supply - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

See all

I came here to buy supplies for an upcoming Habitat-for-Humanity project hoping to find some good deals (I had heard good things about the pricing). While the prices were reasonable, the store design is confusing, and I found it difficult to navigate and find the things I needed. There wasn't a sales associate in sight to help until I got to the register, at which point they were extremely helpful. The pet supply area looked quite ample, but I wasn't shopping for my dog on this day, so if I go back for her, I'll add an update on the product offering and price! read more

Barnes Supply - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Cute place. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seemed to me like they have way more pet supplies than garden supplies? Either way, I was surprised by how slim their selection of seeds was, back in late Spring when I stopped in. The staff there is friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I'm sure I would love it more if I had a dog of my own to spoil. read more

I have been shopping at barnes for years.....garden equipment, pottery, pet supplies etc. It has been my "go to place", until now. Unfortunately, recently I saw several new aversive pet "training" products including shock collars, prong collars, ridiculously heavy short chain leashes (used for neck/ chest strengthening in preparation for fighting) and electric fencing which have a very high failure rates, resulting in pets getting out of the electrified area due to distractions, but not wanting to re enter...due to the shock received when crossing the "fence". I can not believe Jason and the other staff knowingly promote aversive training methods, as they are always super friendly and welcoming to our dogs at every visit. Please educate yourselves and remove this equpiment from your stock.....their use is not recommended any experienced trainers. Positive reinforcement is data proven and effective. Punishment only reinforces fear and aggression in dogs. I would like to up my star rating asap. read more

Helpful staff talked me through the different options to find the best food for my Mastiff. Made sure that I knew the benefits of different brands, and made suggestions in terms of what they used for their own dogs. Staff is always pleasant and happy to see you and your pet. Every time I'm there with my dog they offer to give him a treat. Happy to give these great people my business. read more

If you have a dog and love to spoil it, this is a great place to shop. Tons of accessories, but collars, chew toys, high end dog food, bones, etc. They also have lots of plants and seeds if you are looking to stock the garden. The location is great as well. I live near by so I can be there in minutes. There is some parking in the rear as well. read more

My dog loves Barnes! They pet her and give her a free treat each time. Barnes has a local, neighborhood vibe. There is a large variety of high quality dog treats and often new treats to try. I've gotten treats like puppy training treats, probiotic, yak chews, salmon skin and even rabbit ears. Recently we've been trying the stella and chewy raw frozen patties. I love the brands there, they are usually us or canadian companies that make natural dog food/treats. The prices are surprisingly competitive with big box stores like petsmart. Smaller selection than Phydeaux but I think Barnes is better priced for comparable treats and has better customer service/return policy. read more

I really like Barnes Supply. I've been buying my dog food here for a short while, and their selection of both raw and dry food is quite good. I had a brief conversation with one of the salespeople about my dog's bout of GI issues, and then when I came back a few weeks later, she asked me how my dog was doing. It's the little things like that that separate those big, impersonal chains from the more wholesome locally-owned establishments. I wish they had more treats and such for my equine friends, but then again, that's not really a fair nit-pick. read more

This is your destination for gardening and pet supplies! The pet food was mostly organic top-of-the-line stuff, but they seemed to have a lot of things on sale. Don't miss the separate building out back with all of the bird supplies (though no actual birds...I was hoping that it might be a sort of pet shop. A guy told me to stick around because he expected some pigeons to be coming through the parking lot pretty soon...) read more

Barns is such a fun place. They have tons of awesome collars and harnesses. Their variety of food,accessories and toys is so amazing. I could spent forever in there. Check out if they have any good sales or discounts. read more

We buy all of our pet supplies here! Cheaper than PetSmart and much better quality.

Awesome store, could spend hours in here. They have everything you need from tools to seed & soil. My new go to garden store

this place is fantastic. I get all my pet supplies and bird supplies here. They have a great frequent buyer program for all the pet food. All the employees I've dealt with have been excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable about the different options for dog/cat food, flea treatments, bird food, etc. They are also super friendly to my dog whenever I bring her in. They always help you carry things out to your car without you even asking. The selection is fantastic, of food, accessories including toys etc., and treats. Also, it's a good location with easy parking in the back of the store. read more

This place is the bomb diggity. I don't really know what else to say. Best pet store I've ever been to, and the employees are super cool.

Great place with a great staff. My wife and I just got a golden retriever puppy and brought him in for his first "pet store visit." The staff clung to him and Stacey was really helpful giving us information on harnesses, vaccines, training, and dog food. She even gave our pup a few treats that were on the house. Love to see local places thrive. Much more personal experience than going to a Petco or Petsmart. Highly recommended! I'll be back soon! read more

Good place if you know exactly what you need to get. I get my larger dog's food here and the prices are good and I'm in and out pretty quickly. I had to return a food once and that was painless and they were really great about it. read more

They had a great selection of stuff for my dog. Organic/natural food products. The lady at the desk was friendly and suggested some awesome toys. Natural rawhide etc. Always good to see a nice local supply store! read more

Love this place! Friendly staff excellent selection. Every plant/herb I've purchased here is out of this world. Pet friendly & really make your furry friends feel good. Cannot say enough good things! read more

Best Pet Feeds Selxn of Durham, 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! read more
