The Art and Science of Pharmacy Compounding & Pet Medications

Pharmacy compounding is the art of creating customized medications for patients, and the concept of medical compounding goes all the way back to the roots of pharmaceutical science. The basic idea is simple - for instance, cats don’t like pills, but they do like tuna. So why not flavor their medicine to make it taste like tuna? Of course, during the evolution of compounding, pharmacists have discovered that not every medication can be compounded and customized for your pet - however, our pet pharmacy’s staff works to ensure that nearly every type of pet medication is available in our tasty flavors.

First of all, for medicine to be compounded, it has to be extremely stable; after all, medication only works when all of its ingredients work. Our process ensures that the active ingredients of the compounded medications maintain their integrity and that the inactive ingredients still have a positive effect on your pet’s health.

Turning a medication into a flavored liquid from pill or capsule form is one approach to the pharmacy compounding process, because animals are much more likely to enjoy a tasty drink than most other forms of delivery. Chewable tabs in appetizing flavors like Crisp Bacon and Cheesie Cheddar are other options - your dog or cat will think they are getting a special treat, and you can sleep easy knowing that your pet is getting the medication they need to be healthy.

Our pet pharmacy’s staff includes experts in the art of compounding who work to find the best solution to your pet’s health problems and help you medicate your cat, dog, or other pet in way that they will love.
