If you’re like many pet owners, you consider your four-legged friend a beloved member of the family. Whether you have a dog bed in every room of the house, concoct gourmet meals for your cat, or construct elaborate mazes for your guinea pig, your pet’s comfort and care are top priorities in your life.
Since our pets can’t tell us when they’re feeling ill, regular visits to the veterinarian are critical in maintaining their health. When a pet is diagnosed with a medical condition like heart disease, diabetes, or cancer, taking daily medications is often a part of their treatment. Unfortunately, getting a finicky senior feline to take multiple large pills is not always an easy task.
How a Veterinary Compounding Pharmacy Can Help
Complicated medication routines can be stressful for both pets and their caretakers and can negatively impact the human-animal bond. On top of that, a pet’s health can suffer if they are not taking their prescribed dose regularly.
It’s essential to communicate any medication challenges or concerns with your pet’s veterinarian. An option they may recommend is having the medication compounded into a flavored liquid, flavored tablet, or transdermal preparation by a pharmacy like Best Pet Rx.
These animal-friendly formulations can help make managing long-term medical conditions easier, especially when they’re prepared with your pet’s unique needs in mind. Since pets can’t tell us what they like, it’s also important to consult a pharmacy that has experience with a variety of animal species.
Our Handcrafted Formulations
Best Pet Rx takes a consultative approach to compounding – working with veterinary teams and their clients to deliver innovative medication solutions that are customized for each patient.
If your pet is food-motivated, our flavored tablets and chews provide a delicious way to give medicine. At only a few millimeters wide, they are smaller than most pills and have the flavor and consistency of a treat. All of the 20-plus flavors utilized by Best Pet Rx are hypoallergenic, and we offer safe, sugar-free options for diabetic pets.
Flavored liquids are also a popular option since they can be squirted directly into a pet’s mouth. By adjusting the concentration of the medication in the liquid, we can make sure pets get the right dose with the smallest volume necessary.
While oral routes are generally the preferred method of administration, transdermal gels provide an alternative, stress-free option for hard-to-medicate pets. This formulation is massaged into a pet’s ear, where the medication is absorbed by the skin.
Regardless of the formulation selected, our pharmacy pairs the highest quality ingredients with years of veterinary compounding expertise to provide specialized care for animals.
