What is Veterinary Compounding?

At Pharmasave Marine Drive Compounding, we understand that your pet’s health needs are unique. That’s why our expert pharmacists create custom medications in a variety of formulations and strengths not commercially available. Whether your pet needs a medication that’s not available from your veterinarian’s usual supplier, requires a specific dosage or form, or simply dislikes the taste of their current medication, we can help. We work closely with veterinary clinics throughout the North Shore to provide the best possible care for your furry friends.

Why Choose Compounded Medications?

Compounding allows us to personalize your pet’s medication to their individual needs. This can include:

  • Flavoring: Making medications more palatable for picky eaters.
  • Dosage adjustments: Creating the precise dose for your pet’s size and weight.
  • Alternative forms: Offering medications in chewable treats, capsules, liquids, or topical applications.
  • Combining medications: Simplifying medication regimens by combining multiple medications into one.
  • Addressing allergies: Removing inactive ingredients that may cause allergic reactions.
