About Central Garden & Pet Company

Central Garden & Pet Company (CENTA) is a prominent U.S.-based enterprise specializing in the manufacturing and distribution of a wide array of products for both the lawn and garden and pet supply sectors. Its operations are strategically divided into two primary divisions: Pet and Garden. The Pet segment caters to a diverse range of animal companions, offering everything from essential dog and cat provisions—such as treats, chews, toys, beds, grooming aids, waste management solutions, and containment systems—to specialized items for aquatics, small animals, reptiles, and pet birds. For these smaller creatures, products include cages, habitats, bedding, food, and nutritional supplements. Furthermore, this segment addresses animal and household health with insect control solutions, and provides comprehensive supplies for live fish and other aquarium inhabitants, encompassing tanks, furniture, lighting, pumps, filters, water conditioners, and various food and supplement options. It also extends its offerings to horses and livestock, and even includes outdoor cushions and pillows. Key brands within this segment feature well-known names such as Aqueon, Cadet, Comfort Zone, Farnam, Four Paws, Kaytee, K&H Pet Products, Nylabone, and Zilla. The Garden division supplies an extensive catalog of lawn and garden necessities. This includes grass seed, a variety of wild bird products (feed, feeders, houses, and accessories), fertilizers, decorative outdoor lifestyle items, and live plants. Additionally, it provides solutions for pest and weed control, offering herbicides, insecticides, and other pesticide products. Notable brands under the Garden segment are AMDRO, Ferry-Morse, Pennington, and Sevin, alongside others like Bell Nursery, Lilly Miller, and Over-N-Out. Established in 1955, Central Garden & Pet Company maintains its corporate headquarters in Walnut Creek, California.
