Your pets are special.
Their medication should be, too.

Pets are family, and you want them to have medical treatment that’s as targeted and innovative as you expect for yourself. Today’s veterinarians understand this, and many rely on compounding as one way to deliver this advanced level of care. Consider how hard it is to get your pet to swallow a pill, and you’ll start to understand the advantages of compounding for pets.

What is Compounding?

Compounding, or the preparation of customized medications, is an increasingly popular solution to veterinary patient and human patient problems. When it comes to things like skin rashes, eye and ear infections, heart conditions, cancer, and diabetes, animals and humans have a lot in common. But giving pets medication presents a unique set of challenges.

Problem, Meets Solution

Cats are notorious for refusing to swallow pills (you probably have the scratches to prove it), and they’ll usually eat right around one disguised in food. Administration can be equally tricky with dogs — a dose of therapeutic medication for an 80-pound Golden Retriever could be deadly for a six-pound Yorkie. Large and exotic pets, such as horses, rabbits, birds, ferrets and reptiles, all pose a variety of different medication challenges, too. But the solution is often the same for them all - veterinary compounding.

Innovative Solution for Pet Wound
Introducing the Polyox Bandage

An example of the unique solutions to pet wounds is the  Polyox bandage  which is a compounded powder often dispensed in a collapsible bottle (pictured above) that allows the patient to puff the custom medication directly onto a wound.

  • Superior to traditional bandages
  • Stays in place for a guaranteed 4-hours even if rubbed or licked

For example, applying the bandage to a “hot spot” on a dog can aid in the healing. Our pharmacists can add diphenhydramine (bitter taste) as a deterrent to lick the wound.
