What is a veterinary pharmacy?

Veterinary pharmacy is the professional practice that makes sure your animal is getting the best results from his medications. Sometimes when a pet needs a medication that is not typically carried or manufactured by drug companies, your vet can ask the pharmacist for compounded medication, or many times the strength available just isn’t right for your pet.

What is Compounding?

Compounding is the art of customizing medications to fit individual needs. Standard methods of delivery, dosage, strength, or taste can be customized to avoid problems or make a medication easier to give to your pet.

Compounding makes it easy to give your pet medication

1. Does Piper hate taking medication?

2. Do you have trouble giving Roscoe pills?

3. Does Lofton need special medicine?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then compounded medications might be the answer. We’re experts at compounding and have assisted thousand of pet onwers over the years.

Custom Dosing

Custom Dosing Options

Flavorings

Flavored dosage forms make it easy, even fun, to dose an animal.

If you find that giving your cat or dog a pill is a frustrating experience, it may be possible to have the medication compounded into a flavored formulation. The Animal Pharmacy can prepare many of the more common medications in flavored medications.

There are many flavor choices. There are beef, cheese, chicken and liver flavors for dogs; fish for cats. Horses prefer alfalfa, cherry, apple, carrot and molasses. Even birds, rodents and reptiles have flavor preferences that can be met by our compounding pharmacist. Call today to inquire about this.

Chewy Treats

Dogs love Chewy Treats.

The Animal Pharmacy also has the ability to prepare come medication into Chewy Treats! We have special forms and a press that will make medication dosing a truly enjoyable experience that your pet will actually look forward to.

Transdermals

Cats love added affection!

Some drugs can be turned into a transdermal gel which are dispensed in 1ml oral syringes. This dispensing system allows for easy and accurate dosing. Dispense the proper amount of medication prescribed by your physician onto a gloved finger and apply to the inside of your cat’s ear. Methimazole for cats is most commonly dispensed this way then your pet see this as just added affection rather than attempting to get him or her to take a pill.

Flea and Tick Medication

We heard your requests to find flea & tick medications comparable to Frontline Plus or Advantix II, without the higher costs associated with purchasing these branded solutions and we searched out the best medication that would give you the same and more benefits!

We found VETIQ’s Vetguard Plus+, which has all the same benefits and more, is made in the USA and can be brought to you at a much lower cost. Vetguard Plus+ kills and repels fleas, ticks, mosquitos, lice and mites.

The package contains a 4 month supply which makes this even more cost effective than the leading brands which typically contain only 3 month supplies. Only quality ingredients are used. Permethrin helps to rid your pet of the fleas while Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator which kills flea eggs and larvae.
