The business traces its roots to 1926, when the building that now houses the store served as city hall for Barnes City, a short-lived municipal experiment by circus co-owner Al Barnes. Though Barnes City dissolved within a year, the structure was later recognized as a historical landmark. Centinela Feed began as a small equine-focused pet food store on Centinela Avenue in Mar Vista, catering to owners of horses, chickens, and ducks. Over four decades, it evolved into a full-service pet supply retailer under the leadership of the Nakagawa family. The current CEO, Chris Nakagawa, began working at the store at age 13, carrying forward the family’s tradition of personalized service and community commitment.

Centinela Feed & Pet Supplies is known for its dedication to quality, offering products that the staff themselves would use for their own pets. The team emphasizes rigorous training and customer care, ensuring knowledgeable support for every pet parent. The store maintains a strong local presence through real-time inventory tracking, flexible pickup options, and a focus on keeping prices competitive without compromising on product integrity.

With deep roots in Santa Monica and a legacy of family-run service, Centinela Feed & Pet Supplies continues to support the health and happiness of pets and their people across the city.
