(medication for your furry friend)
Compounding pharmacies are veterinarians’ best friends. It can sometimes be difficult to get animals to take their medication. Even when it’s wrapped in food, we’ve all seen our pets miraculously spit out their medicine while swallowing their treat.
Compounding eliminates this issue.
Our pharmacy is not an alternative to veterinarians. Instead, our specialty service allows veterinarians to broaden their prescribing abilities.
Veterinarians can control the prescription strength, dosage size, and formulation, enabling them to completely customize the medication to fit the needs of their pet patients.
Our compounding pharmacy can prepare:
Our pharmacy is a helpful means to an end. We work with your practice to solve medication problems for any animal, including pets, exotics, horses, and zoo animals.
For many pets, a transdermal solution may be the best option for healing.
Applying a lotion, gel, or cream is a direct and stress-free method to administer medication. This works great for animals that should not be stressed out due to cardiovascular or hypertensive issues.
The compounded medication can be applied to the inside of an animal’s ear or another hairless area to deliver the drug.
This is an excellent method for avoiding a battle with animals who strongly resist being medicated and for directly addressing the site of infection or swelling.
There are various alternative dosage forms in which medication is absorbed via non-oral routes, including parenteral and rectal routes.
Transdermal absorption offers several advantages, such as:
Different drug interactions can be avoided when multiple medications are administered transdermally.
We know animals are stubborn when it comes to pain. They do their best to hide that anything is wrong and resist help.
Compounding pharmacies specialize in developing dosage forms that make getting past a stubborn pet or animal easier. These include:
They are compounded in our lab specifically for the animal it is intended for.
With the guidance of veterinarians, we combine the specific active ingredients with the precise dosage strength best suited for the animal. Since animals come in many shapes and sizes, the ability to completely customize their medication will help ensure their needs are met.
Also known as “mucosal bandages,” these are medicated wraps that adhere to a wound or mucosal surface.
This creates a protective barrier and delivers the medication through consistent contact with the affected area.
Often, animals will lick the area of their wound and bandage it. This can be dangerous if the animal reinjures the wound or swallows the external preparation.
We can add a bitter substance to the bandage to avoid licking.
Phenytoin helps promote wound healing through several mechanisms. Lidocaine helps reduce pain at the site of the wound.
When combined with a polyox bandage, positive results can be observed.
We love our animals and work with veterinarians to develop individualized medications. Our pharmacy specializes in customizing medications to meet the animal’s needs.
Our puppy patients come in various shapes and sizes, so we work to provide medicines that are as unique as they are. We can adjust dosage size, strength, form, flavor, composition, and more!

The holiday season brings us joy, but it also brings us more prescriptions to fill and ship. Our pharmacy continues to work diligently, but an increase in demand may result in slightly longer processing times.
