Inverell Barnyard has proved themselves to be leaders of the pack, taking out the title of Best Pet Store in the New England. This is win that reflects the strong community support and trust the local business has built over the years.
Known for its friendly service, knowledgeable staff, and wide-ranging stock, the store has become a go-to destination for pet owners across the region.
Inverell Barnyard, which opened in October 2016, is family-owned and operated, and offers everything from high-quality pet food and grooming products to toys, treats, bedding, and health essentials like flea and tick prevention.
Customers can also find a variety of animals in-store, including rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, chickens, and fish. It’s not just the impressive range that keeps customers coming back, but the way the team truly goes above and beyond to make sure every person and pet is looked after.
The Barnyard is more than just a pet store—it’s a welcoming hub for local animal lovers. Whether someone is a first-time pet owner or a seasoned caretaker, the team is always ready with expert advice and a genuine smile. It’s this down-to-earth, helpful approach that has built a loyal customer base and set the business apart.
Locals often comment on the positive experience of visiting the store, noting not only the great range and fair prices, but also the way the animals are clearly well cared for. For many, it’s a place where shopping feels more like a visit to a trusted friend than a transaction.
