Veterinary Compounding

The major benefit of compounding is its ability to customize medications to meet patient's unique needs and no patients are more unique than the ones seen by veterinarians. Diagnosing pets is a challenge in itself. Our pharmacists are willing to work with our clients and their owners to customize medications.

Some pets may not tolerate the taste of their medication and may prefer some of the veterinary flavors we offer such as grilled chicken, strawberry, peanut butter, liver, tuna, etc. Others may need a dose that is not commercially available. We can customize strengths for your 2 lb. kitten to a full size horse. Medications that have been discontinued by the manufacturer may still be available through compounding pharmacies.

Examples of medications that we have been asked to compound for animals include; antibiotic suspensions for snakes, transdermal gels of thyroid medications for cats which are applied to the inside of the ear, capsules and chewable incontinence medications and arthritic medications for dogs. We have also had rabbit, kangaroo and equine patients.
