FAQ

Veterinary compounding is the customized creation of medications for animals, tailored to their specific health needs, size, taste preferences, and medical conditions. It involves altering, mixing, or combining ingredients to create a medication that is not commercially available, or to provide it in a form that is more easily administered to pets, such as flavored chews, liquid suspensions, or transdermal gels.

Your pet might need compounded medication for a variety of reasons, including difficulty swallowing pills, the need for a specific dosage not commercially available, allergies to ingredients in standard medications, or the need for a medication flavor to improve palatability. Compounded medications can make administering treatment easier and more effective, ensuring your pet receives the precise care they require.

To obtain a compounded medication for your pet, you’ll need a prescription from your veterinarian. Once you have the prescription, simply bring it to us or have your vet send it directly, and we will work with you and your veterinarian to create a customized medication plan for your pet’s specific needs.

We can compound medications for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, reptiles, and small mammals. Each species has its own unique requirements, and our pharmacists are experienced in creating formulations that meet the specific health needs of these diverse animal patients.

Absolutely. One of the primary benefits of veterinary compounding is the ability to flavor medications to make them more appealing to your pet. We offer a variety of flavors suitable for different types of animals, making medication administration easier for pet owners and less stressful for pets.

While we cannot diagnose or make treatment decisions, we are happy to discuss the compounding options available for your pet’s medication needs based on your veterinarian’s prescription. Our pharmacists are available to answer questions about compounding services, medication formulations, and how we can assist in your pet’s treatment plan.
