Centinela Feed and Pet Supplies
This Redondo Beach pet supply store has become a hub for local animal lovers – from its busy bulletin board to the pet adoption fairs and low-cost vaccinations the store regularly hosts, a buzzing community of people and their furry friends turn to Centinela Feed as their go-to place all pet-related needs. The store itself is comprehensively stocked with all varieties of dog, cat and bird healthy conure food, treats, toys, collars, leashes, feeders, bedding, crates, and animal health products.
The store is a family-owned operation — two generations of the Nakagawa family. It is part of a small chain of 14 Southern California stores that began in the 1930s as Centinela Feed and Paint. The store’s mission statement — “To contribute to our customer’s happiness by improving the health and quality of their pet’s life” – isn’t a hollow sentiment. Yelp reviews show a persistent theme: this is a store for animals, but it’s about the people.
“I don’t think there’s been a time when I received bad service at this place,” wrote one reviewer. “Whenever I walk into this place with a kitty litter bucket a sales associate walks up to me to take it.”
“The help is aggressive about assisting you, and even when you say you don’t need help, they are right there to swoop in and assist when you realize it would be easier if you did have some help,” wrote another.
“They always have treats ready for my dog Lucy when whenever we come in,” wrote a Redondo Yelper.
