The Benefits of Using a Compounding Pharmacy for Your Pet's Meds

Most pet owners assume that the job of administering medications to their pet is always going to be a challenging endeavor. This, however, doesn't have to be the case. In fact, with a compounding pharmacy, administering pet meds can be a breeze. Keep reading to learn about some of the major benefits of choosing a compounding pharmacy for your pet's medications.

Why Choose a Compounding Pharmacy? 7 Benefits of Compounding Your Pet's Medication

1. Easier Administration

One of the primary benefits of compounded medications for pets is the ability to put a pet's medicine into nearly any form for easier administration. This includes treats, chews, liquids, gummies, topicals, and more.

2. Better Medication Compliance

When it's easier to get your pet to take their medicine, you automatically improve your ability to follow your veterinarian's administration instructions.

3. More Successful Treatment Plans

By carefully following your veterinarian's prescription instructions, you also increase the odds that your pet will have a more successful treatment outcome.

4. Improved Medication Absorption

With compounding, certain medications can be more effectively absorbed or efficiently targeted to the appropriate treatment area for improved treatment, efficacy, and outcome.

5. Less Stress for You and Your Pet

Easier medication administration is much less stressful for you and your pet. With treats created in your pet's favorite flavor, for example, your pet will actually look forward to taking their medicine, so you won't have to hide their pills or force them to swallow them.

6. Simplified Dosing

Compounded medications are made personally for each patient, which means that just about every aspect of the medication can be personalized to the pet's preferences and the veterinarian's specifications. So, compounded medications can be formulated to your pet's exact dosing requirements without the need for you to cut or crush pills at home to achieve the proper dosing for your pet.

7. Allergy-Friendly Medications

Pets can have allergies just like humans, and if your pet happens to be allergic to an ingredient in a medication, it can make administration all the more difficult and stressful. With compounding, we can adjust the formulation of your pet's medicine to ensure they can take it safely, without reaction.
