A Great Resource: Drs. Foster & Smith
If you’ve never heard of Doctors Foster & Smith, allow me to introduce you to a valuable resource for medical information and products.
Who They Are
Drs. Foster & Smith is the largest pet supply cataloger in the nation. They started in 1983 and have steadily grown from a small group of three dedicated veterinarians to well over 600 employees.
Founder Dr. Race Foster received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Michigan State University where he earned the 1983 Feline Medicine and Surgery Award for academic achievements in feline medicine. A member of the Michigan and Wisconsin Veterinary Medical Associations, Dr. Foster is the co-author of four books on pet health, care and behavior, and has a special interest in consulting and working with professional dog and cat breeders, especially in the area of preventive animal health.
Founder Dr. Marty Smith received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree at Iowa State University and is a member of the Wisconsin Veterinary Medical Association. In addition to co-authoring four books with Dr. Foster, Dr. Smith has written hundreds of articles on pet health, care and behavior and is very involved as a consultant with pet organizations, breeders, trainers and other writers across the United States. A number of Dr. Smith’s English Setters have competed in the national showing circuit, including Ch. Sevenoaks Golden Garters, “Vegas,” who was the 1997 Am. Can. Grand National Champion.
Their Products
Each year, Dr. Foster and Dr. Smith personally review more than 2,500 new pet products, selecting only those which offer the highest quality solutions for enhancing pet health and well-being. When available offerings don’t meet their high standards – or when a product simply isn’t available – the doctors develop their own alternatives under the Drs. Foster and Smith brand name.
Drs. Foster and Smith-brand products offer high quality and are available only through Drs. Foster and Smith, often for less money than pet supplies found in retail pet stores.
Informational Articles
Drs. Foster and Smith also offer a comprehensive database of articles, which can be found here, and covers a vast range of issues from allergy care, to sanitation, to diet and weight control, and much, much more.
