Medication for your pet works only if you can convince your pet to take it, which can be difficult. It can cause stress and put distance between people and their pets, but Cherokee Custom Script Pharmacy can help!
Compounding can make medicating animals easier if the pharmacist prepares flavored chews that animals accept readily. If your pet believes he or she is getting a treat, it makes life for both of you much simpler. Dogs and cats enjoy beef, liver and chicken flavors. Horses like apple, banana and butterscotch flavors. Birds, reptiles or small animals enjoy tutti frutti, strawberry and carob flavors. Cherokee Custom Script Pharmacy can make these flavors and more!
Furthermore, the amount of medication incorporated into the chews, capsules, topical, transdermal or liquid preparations can be formulated to the specific request of the veterinarian, thereby eliminating the need to cut tablets and divide the contents of commercially prepared capsules.
As manufacturers decide that certain products are no longer economically rewarding to market, the list of commercially prepared veterinary medication becomes smaller. Cherry-flavored amoxicillin or orange-flavored cephalexin may not be appealing to a cat or a dog.
If your pet has allergies or sensitivity to certain ingredients in medications, compounding allows the pharmacist to customize many prescriptions without these.
Our compounding pharmacy can prepare:
- Flavored medication
- Medicine in ideal size, strength, and dosage form
- Unavailable medications
- Combinations so your pet only has to take one dosage
- Novel devices and delivery systems - chews, transdermal gels, ointments, etc.
We work together with veterinarians and pet owners to solve medication problems by compounding specialized medications that meet the unique needs of each animal - pets, exotics, horses, or zoo animals.
So, next time your pet needs a prescription, talk to your veterinarian about the possibilities of compounding. Let us know how we can help you and the animals in your care.
