Does your cat hide under the couch when you open their medication container? Does your dog eat the cheese that you’ve hidden their pill in – then spit the pill out? Even for seasoned pet owners, getting Fido or Fluffy to take their medication is often a struggle. This daily ritual can be troublesome, but with the help of a compounding pharmacy, it can be a treat!
Since 2005, Best Pet Rx has helped animals across the country feel better with handcrafted medications customized just for them. Now, our pharmacy team is excited to care for pets in Virginia and Maryland from our new state-of-the-art facility conveniently located outside of Washington, DC.
Why is Compounding Pet Medication Necessary?
When it comes to pet medications, many people are familiar with monthly preventatives like flea, tick, or heartworm medications, which are manufactured specifically for animals. These are typically made into flavored chews and topical solutions, so they are easy to administer and apply.
However, when a pet is diagnosed with a medical condition like heart disease, diabetes, or cancer, treatment often requires taking daily medication. Unfortunately, many drugs used in veterinary medicine are only commercially available as human-labeled products. This makes it challenging to give the correct dose to an 8-pound Chihuahua, especially when cutting a pill into bitter-tasting fragments.
One of the main advantages of compounding pet medications is that they can be made into various forms, like a flavored liquid, flavored tablet, or transdermal preparation. These animal-friendly formulations can make medication time less stressful – both for you and your pet!
Making Medication Time Delicious!
Best Pet Rx works with you and your veterinarian to find a medication plan that is easy to follow, even if your pet is a picky eater. Our pharmacy team is experienced in treating different animal species and can customize medications to fit each pet’s unique needs and preferences.
As a pharmacy that caters exclusively to animals, we carry over 20 delicious hypoallergenic flavors that have been selected to satisfy the diverse palates of pets. All our flavor options are free from animal proteins like chicken and beef, so they are safe for pets on limited ingredient diets. We also offer sugar-free options for diabetic pets, and never use ingredients like xylitol, which can be harmful to animals. Our pharmacy is committed to your pet’s satisfaction, which is why we even offer free flavor swaps on compounded medications!
