Profile
For Jim Perez, every workday for the last 26 years has been a family affair. Son of Raul Perez, longtime owner of Raul's Pet Center in North Fair Oaks, Jim has decided to fly solo for the first time in his career, opening his own pet grooming business in Redwood City last month following his father's retirement.
The new shop, Raul's Grooming Center, located at 1530 Main St., is as close as many dogs will get to day spa. Equipped with industrial-sized bathtubs and a variety of shampoos, Jim provides each canine customer with a full-service wash, including toenail clipping, and topped off with a nice fluff-dry. He also sells a range of pet products, from brushes and flea ointments to toys and dog treats.
