    Clean and well-kept store with a nice stock of pet food and supplies.
    Christina Y.

    I love supporting up-and-coming, small, and independent businesses. My partner and I adopted our first cat back in March of this year, and we're always on the lookout for good quality cat food and supplies. I was enjoying my day off today from work, and I decided to head out to Long Beach to sight-see and have a solo day for myself. After doing some light shopping, I wanted to stop by some pet supply stores to stock up on cat food. Yelp recommended Bruce's Empty Bowl to me because of its high reviews. The store is located inside the Pine Square shopping center in Downtown Long Beach. The inside of the store is also very clean and organized with excellent customer service. I believe that the gentleman at the front counter is the owner of the store, and he was very courteous. He even provided me with free samples for my cat to try! Long Beach is a bit out of my way since I'm currently residing all the way in Burbank, but for any local residents who are pet parents, please stop by Bruce's Empty Bowl and show your support!

    Some people judge others by what brands of shoes and clothes they wear, I judge others by what…read morebrand of food they feed their pets. There's a ton of brands of dog/cat food but the difference between the brands sold here and let's say, Pet Supplies plus, vs what's being sold at Petsmart... is quality. If you shop here, you're very demure, very mindful. Let's be friends. So, I love my dog so much that I started taking canine nutrition courses. I've learned a lot about their diet and all, because I want to feed my pets the best and figure out from those brands that meet the standard I'm looking for, and see what fits my budget. A lot of the brands that canine nutritionists and very knowledgeable dog lovers in general, recommend and personally use, are sold at Centinela. I find it very interesting that they don't have most these brands at Petsmart or Petco. With the exception of a few like Nulo, or Merrick, etc. I would love to see Open Farm or Farmina ND at Petco! Anyway, I like that these brands that I love and support and will always be using are accessible here for a quick pickup, and I don't have to wait for an online order to be delivered. I was trying to explain to my friend what the difference is between those big stores and these smaller ones. I like to refer to these types of stores as holistic. Only holistic vets will actually commend you for going out of your way to do research on what you're buying and what's on the ingredient list. I went to a vet a few years ago and I brought the open farm bag of kibble and she just looked and it and didn't comment anything. Later pushed for hills science diet, yeah ok. She DID comment on how my dog was the healthiest she had ever seen of that breed. Yeah doc, cause I don't feed her hills science diet. So if I have to take my dog to a holistic vet so be it. There's no need to be said that these brands can be pricey. If you sign up for the rewards you can score some discounts. Just recently they had an in store cyber Monday weekend and there were such great deals! The customer service here is also very mention worthy. The staff is always so friendly and knowledgeable. When I started doing research on dog food I spoke with a staff member here and she was giving me such incredible feedback on canine nutrition that aligns with what I want to prioritize for my dog. Meanwhile if you ask Petsmart employees they are clueless and point you towards Royal Canin. Thanks Centinela for existing in my neighborhood! See you soon.

    Echo was very friendly and efficient. I had to exchange something. She nade the transaction easy…read more The store looked clean and it was well stocked
