Here at our family neighborhood pharmacy, we are dedicated to helping families stay healthy, and we don’t limit our care to just people. You can also rely on our pharmacists for pet prescriptions and helpful tips regarding pet health. Keep reading to learn more about our pet care services and specifically how our veterinary compounding pharmacy can make your life a little easier when it comes to caring for the four-legged family members!
1. We can customize the dosage strength and formula.
Our furry friends come in all shapes and sizes, so it just makes sense that pet medications aren’t one-size-fits-all. Small dogs and cats will need a smaller dose than bigger dogs and other animals, and what may work for a hamster may not be the best option for a bird. Compounding gives us the ability to make a formula that’s exactly what your pet needs, especially when a commercially available dose isn’t the best option or is no longer available.
2. We can turn medicine into treats.
Neither you nor your pet enjoys medicine time, and administering medications can often be stressful for all involved; however, we have created the perfect solution– chewable flavored treats! We use high-quality ingredients to ensure your pet is receiving the proper dose, and this treat form helps to eliminate medicine waste and enhance medication safety and efficacy. Above all, our pharmacists are trained and accredited by the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists and use the latest technology and lab standards in order to make the most effective personalized medication solutions for both animals and humans.
3. We work with a variety of animals.
Dogs and cats are the most common, of course, but as previously mentioned, we can accommodate pet prescriptions for a wide range of household and exotic pets. From gerbils and hamsters to lizards, birds, and horses– our veterinary compounding pharmacy can handle your requests. If you are unsure about a certain pet medication or just have questions, please reach out to us! Our team of pharmacists is happy to help however we can and provide insight and advice about the different options available.
4. We coordinate with local vet clinics.
Our Alpena pharmacy is a local family business with a desire to partner with and support other community businesses and create lasting relationships with our customers. We communicate with veterinarians to make sure we continue to provide the best possible pet care, putting your mind at ease as well that your pet is being well cared for. Plus, our transfer or refill process is quick and easy– as simple as filling out a short online form!
