Veterinary Compounding Compounding Pharmacies

Veterinary compounding is used when a manufactured medication is unavailable, the wrong strength for an animal patient, or impossible to give in the commercial form. Compounding pharmacies prepare flavored suspensions, transdermal creams, capsules in species-appropriate strengths, and other customized forms.

Common veterinary compounding requests include flavored medications for cats and dogs, transdermal gels for cats that resist oral dosing, custom strengths for small or exotic species, and reformulations to remove ingredients an animal cannot tolerate.

Veterinary compounding always begins with a prescription from the animal's veterinarian. Use the listings below to find pharmacies with veterinary experience, then confirm directly that the pharmacy can prepare the specific medication and form your veterinarian has written.
