We love our pets.
Many of us treat them as if they are our own
children. From dogs and cats to horses and
elephants, no matter what type of animal it is,
we at the Village Compounding Pharmacy will
treat your pet’s problem. As any pet owner
knows, administering medications to pets can be
quite a challenge. Here at the Village
Compounding Pharmacy, we work side by side with
Veterinarians and Pet owners to develop the best
possible solution for the pet’s need. There are
a variety of ways we can treat your pet’s health
concerns.
Veterinary Compounding has become an increasing
need.
1. Many drugs are not approved for certain
species; therefore, drugs manufactured for
humans must be used. The use of human drugs in
animals must be altered (compounded) to fit the
size of the animal.
2. Items that are currently discontinued can be
ordered and compounded to the veterinarian’s
need.
3. The variation in size, breeds, and types of
animals is a situation that faces veterinarians.
Do small dogs like Chihuahuas and large dogs
like Golden Retrievers need the same doses? Can
a parrot take the same medications as a Hamster?
Will a specific drug have the same effect on a
Lhasa Apso as it might on a Collie?
4. Veterinarians face ethical dilemmas, treat
only what is available or do what is best for
the animal.
5. We compound for many types of animals:
Domestic small and large pets, exotics,
wildlife, zoo animals, horses, etc.
We can compound formulations to meet vet
specifications, compound discontinued drugs, or
change dosages, strengths and flavors. We also
offer a wide variety of flavors that will appeal
to all pets, from banana to chicken.
