Your pet deserves medication that actually works for them. We compound custom prescriptions in the right flavor, form, and dose so treatment is easier for you and less stressful for your animal.
If you have ever tried to give a cat a pill, you already understand the problem. Many commercially manufactured medications only come in one form and one strength, which does not work for every animal. Pets differ in size, temperament, and sensitivity, and a one-size-fits-all approach often fails.
Pet compounding solves this by allowing our pharmacists to create a medication tailored to your specific animal. We can turn a bitter pill into a chicken-flavored liquid your dog laps up happily, prepare a transdermal gel that absorbs through your cat's ear so you never have to force-feed a tablet, or formulate a precise dose for a very small or very large animal.
We work directly with your veterinarian to ensure every compounded prescription is safe, effective, and appropriate for your pet's condition.
Animals are much more likely to take their medication when it tastes good. We can add chicken, fish, beef, tuna, or other flavors to turn a dreaded dose into something your pet looks forward to.
A 7-pound cat and a 90-pound dog need very different doses. When commercially available strengths do not match what your vet prescribes, we compound the exact amount your pet needs, no more, no less.
Cannot give your pet a pill? We can prepare the same medication as a flavored liquid, a transdermal gel, a treat-like chew, or a suspension. There is almost always a form that works better for your situation.
Pharmaceutical companies sometimes stop manufacturing a medication your pet depends on. When that happens, we can often recreate it using the same active ingredients so your pet's treatment continues without interruption.
Your veterinarian writes a prescription and sends it to us by phone, fax, or electronic prescription. If your vet has questions about compounding options, our pharmacists are happy to consult directly.
Our team prepares the medication in the form, flavor, and dosage your vet prescribed. Every compound is made with pharmaceutical-grade ingredients and checked by a licensed pharmacist.
Most compounds are ready within 24 to 48 hours. You can pick up at our Richmond Avenue location or we can deliver it to your door anywhere on Staten Island.
Pet compounding is the process of creating a customized medication specifically for your animal. This can mean changing the form (liquid instead of a pill), adding a flavor your pet likes (chicken, fish, beef), adjusting the dosage to match your pet's exact weight, or recreating a medication that has been discontinued by the manufacturer.
Yes. All compounded pet medications require a valid prescription from a licensed veterinarian. Your vet can call, fax, or e-prescribe directly to our pharmacy. If you already have a prescription, you can bring it in or have your vet send it over and we will take it from there.
We compound medications for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, horses, and other animals. Whether your pet is a 5-pound cat or a 1,200-pound horse, we can prepare medications in the right dosage and delivery form. If you have an exotic pet, give us a call and we will let you know how we can help.
Most compounded pet medications are ready within 24 to 48 hours. Some specialized formulations may take slightly longer depending on the ingredients involved. We will give you a clear timeline when you drop off or call in the prescription, and we can arrange delivery if needed.
Yes. We follow the same strict quality and safety standards for pet medications as we do for human prescriptions. Every compounded medication is prepared by trained pharmacy staff using pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, and each prescription is verified by a licensed pharmacist before it leaves our pharmacy.
