    Friendly service and helpful if you have questions Many specialty and interesting finds for your dog or cat. Like freeze dried rabbit pieces (with fur on!) or rabbit organs for cat food There's more dog stuff than cat stuff which I notice at most pet stores

    Meet Yoshi, our sweet and spirited 15-month-old pitbull. We rescued her when she was just four months old. From day one, she was full of life--curious, playful, and overflowing with love. She thrived during training (especially thanks to the treats!) and absolutely adored her daily trips to the dog park. Running, playing fetch, and chasing her pup friends brought her endless joy. But when Yoshi was about nine months old, that joy came to an abrupt stop. One day at the park, we heard her let out a sudden yelp mid-run. She immediately lifted her back leg and couldn't put any weight on it. We rushed her to the vet and were devastated to learn she had a luxating patella--a condition where the kneecap slips out of place. The vet instructed us to restrict all activity and hope it would improve on its own. For two months, we did everything right--short walks, no running, and lots of rest--but there was no change. The next step was surgery. We were heartbroken. The idea of putting our baby girl through a surgical procedure at such a young age was overwhelming. Desperate for an alternative, a friend recommended we visit Ben's Barketplace, a pet nutrition store known for helping dogs with health issues through proper diet and supplementation We visited the very same day. At Ben's Barketplace, we met Nan and Ben, who were not only incredibly kind but also exceptionally knowledgeable. We shared Yoshi's story, and they spent time walking us through different nutritional approaches to managing inflammation and supporting joint health. They explained our options clearly--we could continue with dry food, try raw food, or even combine both. After learning about the benefits of raw feeding, my husband and I decided to go all in. We switched Yoshi to a fully raw diet, choosing Bold by Nature as her new food. We also began giving her Cethyl-M, a powerful joint support supplement they recommended, and swapped her treats for Green Juju, which are packed with nutrients and anti-inflammatory ingredients. The change was nothing short of miraculous. Within just a few weeks, Yoshi began walking more confidently. Her kneecap stopped dislocating. Soon, she was running again--pain-free, full of life, and back to being the playful pup we knew and loved. We are endlessly grateful to Nan, Ben, and everyone at Ben's Barketplace. They took the time to listen, educate, and empower us to make the best decision for Yoshi. Their knowledge of every product and how it supports wellness is unmatched, and their compassion made all the difference. If your pet is facing health challenges--or if you just want to give them the very best--we cannot recommend Ben's Barketplace enough. Their guidance changed Yoshi's life. And ours.

    My pup and I love Ben's Barketplace! Here she is patiently waiting for 9 am.

    Picked up a large bag of orchard grass and timothy hay blend, oxbow essentials rabbit food…read more(pellets), and an apple stick bouquet (made with marigold, rose, and cornflower petals), to keep my bunnies happy and healthy! I visited a different location of this chain long ago and never returned cuz they didn't accept credit card payments, which is inconvenient for me. But years later, I'm so glad I returned to Pet Club and gave them another chance. Not only does the Cupertino store accept credit cards (Visa/MC only, no Amex/Discover as of April 2024), but also the place was clean, organized, and stocked full of small animal products, which is rare in the pet world. Sure, they have stuff for dogs, cats, fish, birds, and reptiles too, but I only came here for one thing (well, two if you count both of my bunnies). Offerings include assorted snacks, unique housing, cute and creative accessories, chew toys galore, uncommon food and hay brands, harnesses, tunnels, and other goodies. The employee who helped me provided friendly and efficient service, and there was no waiting on a Wednesday afternoon, which simply added to my positive experience at Pet Club. Needless to say, they're now back on my radar whenever I need bunny treats or supplies for my spoiled but precious fur babies.

    The previous review isn't lying with how they treat the yt folks vs poc. I have been coming for 10…read moreyears and the cashier by the name nacho gave me such bed ridden standoff behavior. Such a degrading experience now I will have to pick another location. I guess I have to start going back to petco. This sucks because usually mike and the other two cashier ladies are always kind and helpful. That guy clearly needs more training. Just charge me the .10 for a small thin treat bag for my dogs toothpaste and bones and don't give me a whole lecture about how you will loose your job or get penalties for not charging bags that "will be coming out of your paycheck" WTH lol bs bye

    Easily one of the best feed store I've ever been to. Best In the Bay Area hands down…read more Lots of parking. They breed their own chicks in house which is a huge plus as you get it straight from the source. You see the walk through of the roosters and hens as well, literally the parents of your birds and they're all extremely healthy. The hens are also labeled and you're given a zoo-like biography of each breed which is amazing for those starting out + for kids to learn. They have all sorts of breeds, literally breeds I've never even heard of. The hatched chicks here are given mareks vaccination in house + sexed at birth for most breeds except silkies and a few others. I love how the staffs make themselves known but just let you wander and live in the moment without breathing down your back. The prices for feed and items are overall pretty good, items are labeled for the most part. Selection is huge. Many of the items are not priced with a label so they are just ignored and not bought as you can tell by the dust. One biggest drawback here that made it 4 stars instead of 5 is the lack of pricing on some items and the chicks/pullets. Nobody has time to ask for pricing for each individual chick and the staffs don't have a list, they have to check manually for each on their register which is insane. Maybe the store management is too lazy to put the pricing? Maybe they priced chicks differently per customers? Who knows. Luckily the pullets has a pricing sheet and the staffs were amazing about it. Overall, I'd take your family here to buy farm item, feeds and learn about the breeds. If you have time to spare, you can ask about pricing for each or just buy elsewhere.

    I love this business. They are so knowledgeable, we've always had success following their advice,…read moreand the birds we've bought from Peninsula Feed over the years have all been healthy and sweet. When the kids were small, we would visit just to walk around and see all of the chickens, pigeons, and turkeys. No pressure to buy, just warmth and kindness. We recently acquired two baby chicks for one of our broody girls. Following specific instructions from the owner, we have had great success. Mama hen is so happy now. I am so thankful to have a local shop of this quality while living on the peninsula.
