The company markets about 1,500 pet care products including nutritional products for small pets, birds, and aquariums; over-the-counter animal health products (including flea and tick treatments); and toys and accessories for dogs, cats, and birds. Max Stern founded the company in 1926 after emigrating from Germany with 2,100 canaries.
