Veterinary compounding offers valuable benefits to today’s pet owners, providing them with high quality, customized compounded formulations that are safe, efficacious, and easy to administer.
Most medicines manufactured by pharmaceutical companies are designed for human use, and as a result, not all commercially available medicines are appropriate for your pet. Cutting a tablet down to the size for your pet can be difficult and time consuming, as well as creating potential problems such as inaccurate dosing and contamination. Compounding is especially helpful in this situation as your veterinarian can prescribe a suitable dosage form with the amount of medication that is exactly right for your pet’s size and condition.
Pets often refuse to take medications because of the taste. Our pharmacists can prepare flavoured, easy-to-give medications that your pet is happy to take. This will help alleviate stress when giving medications to your pet, which in turn improves drug compliance and treatment outcome.
Medications may become discontinued or short supply from time to time, and when the medication your pet needs become commercially unavailable, our pharmacists can provide you with continued access to the medication by compounding.
Like humans, every animal is unique and requires individual needs. Our pharmacists will collaborate with your veterinarian to tailor customized medications for animals of all sizes and species, including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles and birds.
