Our Story
It all started long before Rawhide Feed & Supply officially became established in the town of Catalina, Arizona in the year of 1994. Altogether, about 40 years in the making to be precise. Bob & Teresa Kern are the owners and founders of Rawhide Feed & Supply and have been in the agricultural field for most of their lives. They would not trade it for anything else, it's what has taught them hard work & dedication and what has allowed them to fulfill the true "American Dream". In 1978, in a small town in Nebraska both Bob & Teresa had a farm with livestock and a hatchery in which they truly enjoyed but they knew it would not make sufficient money to pay the bills and provide for their 3 children; Erin, Josh & Bobby. One bright morning they decided to pack their bags and make the move that would later impact their lives, move to Tucson, Arizona. Bob started working in the Pet Food Distribution business distributing pet food from the back of his very own truck. Later upgrading to a bigger sized truck and then, a semi-truck with business steadily growing. In 1993, once having saved enough money to purchase a property, they decided to pack their belongings once again and move to Catalina, Arizona. They bought a house and built a metal building that soon became the home of your local pet store and what is now known to be today, Rawhide Feed & Supply.
