Many pets, like people, have unique medication needs. If they need medicine, the dose required to administer the drug may not be available in a commercially manufactured product. For these casesÑfor example, where a smaller strength capsule is required, an ear cream or a chicken/fish-flavored liquid can be usedÑthis is where compounding comes into play.

Compounding pharmacies complete the triad of Practitioner, Pharmacy and Patient/Pet relationship. Choosing a pharmacy accredited by the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB) ensures that pharmacy is in compliance with the highest national health and safety guidelines and standards. At this time, PCAB accreditation is not a requirement but a choice select pharmacies have made to set themselves apart from others, and to provide their patients a superior level of care. Within this framework, the Veterinarian and Pharmacist work together to prescribe and prepare your petÕs medication specific to the animalÕs needs. You can rest assured you and your pet are receiving the most professionally-prepared, quality compounded products available.
