What is Veterinary Compounding?

Veterinary compounding is the act of a professional medical practitioner combining (or adjusting) prescription ingredients in order to either create or amend medication for a veterinary patient. This is always conducted by request of a certified veterinarian.

For horses, dogs, cats, rodents, birds, and reptiles, veterinary compounding can:

• • • Deliver specific medication concentrations
    • Change the dosage form
    • Customize the flavour options
    • Combine multiple medications into one dosage form
    • Source medications that are commercially unavailable in your area
    • Provide specific doses other than commercially made options i.e.: pergolide mesylate for equine Cushing’s Disease

Medication types we commonly compound for your furry friend include medications for seizures, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and motion sickness, and Cushing’s Disease in horses.
