About Drs Foster and Smith
Drs. Foster & Smith was a veterinarian-founded pet supply company offering pet food, medications, supplies, and accessories with a focus on health-first pet care. Founded by practicing veterinarians, the company was trusted for its expert product selection, veterinary guidance, and quality standards that distinguished it from general pet retailers.
The company was particularly valued for its pet pharmacy division, which offered prescription pet medications at prices significantly below veterinary office pricing, and its curated selection of health-focused pet products backed by veterinary expertise.
Drs. Foster & Smith was acquired by PetSmart in 2015 and the brand was eventually sunset. Former customers will find similar products and prescription pet medications through Chewy (which acquired PetMeds) and PetMeds.com, which continue to offer competitive prescription pet medication pricing.
