Pet parents are always on the lookout for the best products for their pets—whether for cats, dogs, birds or reptiles. The Drs. Foster and Smith catalog is filled with food, treats, supplements and supplies to help keep your pets happy.
Doctors Foster and Smith—three veterinarians, Race and Rory Foster and Martin Smith—founded their pet supply company back in 1983 as a mail-order catalog selling dog vitamins and supplements. The three soon expanded their company to include cat and horse supplies to their repertoire before ultimately expanding to aquarium and reptile supplies, ferret accessories and more in the early 2000s.
From everyday items such as dog treats and chews to specialty Drs. Foster and Smith dog beds, ramps and other mobility aids, Drs. Foster and Smith is a trusted brand that helps pet parents provide for their dogs with great products. If you’re looking to get all the pet supplies you need, Drs. Foster and Smith can help with food, vitamins, furniture and more.
Doctors Foster and Smith also have a selection of cat food, treats, toys and more. If your kitty is picky about where they like to relax or do their business, explore our wide variety of cat furniture and litter boxes—you’re bound to find something to your cat’s preferences.
If you have exotic pets like saltwater fish, reptiles or birds, Drs. Foster and Smith pet supplies have you covered, whether your pet is small or large, furry or scaly. Each product is veterinarian-recommended, so you know your friend is getting something that is appropriate.
Nearly four decades in the business have allowed Drs. Foster and Smith establish themselves as a brand that pet parents can count on, and one which they regularly return to for all manner of pet supplies—from bare necessities to indulgent treats.
Drs. Foster and Smith prescriptions provide pet parents with a way to get their pets the medicine they need. You can shop for pet meds online and schedule Repeat Delivery or In-Store Pickup.
Petco acquired Drs. Foster and Smith in 2015, and the company continues to offer veterinarian-backed products as part of Petco.

Science Diet is an excellent food but as you have noticed their over the counter foods typically don't have fish. They do have a prescription diet with fish but it can be expensive. I included a couple links to a couple different types of food that contain Salmon. https://www.chewy.com/purina-pro-plan-focus-adult-sensitive/dp/128666 https://www.chewy.com/purina-one-smartblend-sensitive/dp/37688 Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

I don't think Royal Canin makes a dedicated fish diet for cats. i'm not sure why you are looking specifically for a fish based diet, if it is because you know for sure that he is doing better on such a diet i would recommend ORIJEN Six Fish Cat Food.

When used as instructed, plant nutrients and fertilizers designed specifically for aquarium plants will not harm aquarium fish. Allow new aquarium plants to settle and establish themselves before adding any fertilizers. Use aquarium plant substrates such as CaribSea Eco-Complete Plant Substrate http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=9087 to get your plants established faster. Seachem Flourish Advance Natural Phytohormone Supplement http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=33890 will help stimulate root growth vital for overall plants health. Even though you have plants with low to moderate light requirements, be sure to use aquarium light specifically designed for planted aquarium use (sometimes called plant lights) and have the lights on between 10 and 12 hours a day. You may need to adjust the photoperiod (the amount of time the light is on) depending on how your plants are doing and to prevent unwanted nuisance algae growth.

Check water chemistry first. Use a home test kit or submit a water sample for testing. The local Petco may do this for free or for a small fee. Aim for an absence ( 0 ppm) of ammonia and nitrites with nitrates at 20 ppm or less. Perform partial water changes, no more than 30% at a time, to stabilize chemistry and/or to improve water quality. Use only conditioned water that is temperature matched to prevent stress or shock. Check water temp as well. Any of these can drive a fish to the surface. The "flashing" (darting about) can be due to infection (bacterial, fungal or parasites). Consider a broad spectrum antibiotic or an "all in one" product to treat multiple infections. Look in the Aquarium section of the local Petco for options. Follow label directions carefully and remove the carbon filter insert during treatment if indicated.

Before you buy any fish, you will need to set up the tank. A basic set up includes: a tank, filter, hood/light, heater, gravel and some decor. The tank should run without fish for at least 4 to 6 weeks. This gives it time to cycle. The Nitrogen Cycle is critical to the health of the tank and any fish you will be keeping. During this time, beneficial bacterial will populate the filter and substrate (gravel). These bacteria will be responsible for breaking down fish wastes and other wastes (uneaten food, dead plants, etc.). You will need a home test kit to monitor water chemistry (ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, pH) or you will have to submit water samples for testing. Most pet stores will do this for free or for a small fee. At first, you will see high levels of ammonia and nitrites. Over time, as bacteria grow, these levels will drop. When ammonia and nitrites are at 0 ppm and nitrates are below 20 ppm, you can consider adding fish. Regular (every 1 or 2 weeks) partial water changes as we
