Jerry's Pet Feed offers the best for animals

The dream of getting out of manual labor and into a business has become a reality for Jerry Perez and his family.

"Before he opened the store, my dad worked in the fields," said Geronimo Perez, who was manning Jerry's Pet Feed Store for his father, Jerry Perez, for the holiday weekend. "We all worked in the fields." Located at 332 F St. at a site that was previously a church, Perez opened the store in 2017.

The store offers an array of supplies and necessities to keep an animal healthy and well fed. Jerry's offers medicines to remove fleas and deal with animals' intestinal problems. It also sells cowboy boots and hats, leashes and harnesses, as well as clean-up tools such as rakes and shovels to make sure the animals' area is well-maintained.

The store offers Parvo shots for dogs, as well as vaccinations for cats.

There's also chicken feed and food for roosters, horses, dogs, cats and pigs. Most of their feed is in large, bulk-size bags

"Our most-popular feed is chicken scratch (food) that we sell for $12," Geronimo Perez said. "On Thursdays, we sell the bags for $10 each."

They also sell flea shampoo and spray.

Geronimo Perez attended both Shafter and Wasco High Schools. He manages the store whenever his father isn't available. He said he also helps his father out during the regular work week as well.

The store is open seven days a week, except Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Year's. Hours are Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sundays from 8 a.m. until 4 p. m.
