How a Compounding Pharmacy Can Help Your Pet Take Its Medication
A veterinary compounding pharmacy can help by altering your pet medicine so that it is easier to administer, including making it taste better. By seeking help from a pet health pharmacy, an owner can rest easy knowing that administering yucky medicine to a stubborn or unhappy pet doesn’t have to be a grueling process every time.
Pets and animals of all kind can benefit from compounded pet medication. These include, but are not limited to:
- Dogs
- Cats
- Birds
- Horses
- Rabbits
- Reptiles
- Zoo or aquarium animals
- And more!
Please note: Compounded medications from a compounding pharmacy are not intended for use in food and food-producing animals. All veterinary medications require a prescription from your veterinarian.
