Best Pet Shop: Centinela Feed and Pet Supplies
Centinela Feed and Pet Supplies in Redondo Beach wins the top spot for South Bay pet stores because of its knowledgeable employees and wide range of animal food.
“We’ve been in Redondo since 1998,” said former General Manager Cristina Kulkowsky. “We stress high levels of service and that our staff is knowledgeable. You’re really able to come in and ask questions about stuff like itchy skin and coats, digestive issues and we try to make sure the staff is able to answer all those questions appropriately.”
Centinela Feed offers high-quality organic pet foods such as Lotus natural foods. They also recently started offering grooming services including specialty baths, nail trimming and nail polish along with teeth cleaning and pet photos.
In addition, they offer low-cost vaccination clinics and pet adoptions. Every first and third Saturday Rover Rescue comes down with dogs, and Purrfect Partners brings their furry kitten friends for adoption. They also have tray tasting every Saturday for dogs and twice a year they have hamster races.
