As a pet owner, you want your pet to receive the highest-quality veterinary care; care as sophisticated and compassionate as you might receive yourself. You’re not alone. Veterinarians today realize pet owners are knowledgeable and expect a more advanced level of care.

Why should you consider compounding as a solution for your pet’s medical needs? Have you ever tried to give a dog, cat, or even a bird a pill? If you have, you know it can be nearly impossible. Medicine Man Pharmacy understands how difficult it can be to make sure your pet is taking its medication. We work to find the best solution for not only the pet, but the owner as well. Our pharmacies feature a full line of veterinary preparations with size, dose, and flavor-appropriate medications for every animal.

Veterinary compounding is the art and science of preparing medications personalized for each animal. By working closely with your veterinarian, a Medicine Man compounding pharmacist can prepare medicines in easy-to-give, weight and species specific, flavored dosage forms that animals happily devour whether your pet is a cat, dog, bird, ferret, or snake. If your dog loves peanut butter, his liquid medication can be that flavor. If you have a feline, they may prefer chicken or sardine. Birds cannot take large volumes of liquid medication, but they will accept a concentrated dose of a tasty, fruit-flavored solution. Speaking with the owner to find what is palatable for their pet is very important to ensure the animal will take the medication with ease. 

Just like their owners, animals are individual and unique. They come in different shapes and sizes, and may be sensitive to certain ingredients like lactose. As a result, not all commercially available medicines are appropriate for every pet. This is where compounding is especially helpful. Your veterinarian can prescribe a flavored liquid, treat, or other dosage form with the amount of medication that is exactly right for your pet’s size and condition.

Custom compounded medications meet each animal's unique needs. We have the equipment, sources, procedures and highly trained personnel to ensure we prepare only the highest quality compounds that meet or exceed your expectations.

Veterinary compounding gives Medicine Man Pharmacy the opportunity to help your pet get back to being healthy.
