Animal Magnetism: Custom Compounding For Every Member of Your Family

About 68 million dogs are owned as pets in the United States, slightly topped by cats (73 million-no surprise to them, of course). Countless other animals of every description share their lives with humans. At College Pharmacy, our “pet peeve” is seeing animals who don’t receive the care they deserve. Whether you have a cat, dog, horse, rat, mouse, hamster, ferret, rabbit, gerbil, frog, turtle, lizard, snake, or elephant, we care as much about your pets as we do about you. We compound unique, customized formulations to treat your pets’ health concerns, in dosages and administration forms modified for the needs of a variety of animals.

One of the chief advantages of compounded preparations is the option to administer them in different strengths, using various modes of administration. Any pet owner knows that giving medications to animals can be a challenge. We provide chewable and injectable products as well as ophthalmic formulations, pain remedies, and many others. For example, College Pharmacy offers a transdermal gel for application to the ear or abdominal area as an alternative to pills. We also can include a variety of flavorings in oral drugs for tasty animal appeal. At College Pharmacy, we can:

Compound formulations to your vet’s specifications
Eliminate preservatives
Compound discontinued drugs
Change dosages, strengths, and flavors

For large animals and small, domestic and exotic, College Pharmacy can compound customized prescriptions that can be used to treat many medical conditions including: intestinal and skin disorders, urinary incontinence, thyroid problems, seizures, ophthalmic complaints, parasites, allergies, and joint ailments.

Dosage Forms & Flavors

As with all of our formulations for humans, we can customize dosages and routes of administration to suit each animal and condition. Included are chewable tablets, transdermal gels, ointments, creams, drops, powders, insufflators, suppositories, injectables, pellet implants, nebulized medications, and hypoallergenic compounds. And because our furry, feathered, and slithery friends can be just as particular as their owners, we offer a multitude of flavorings to make medications tastier: liver, chicken, beef, fish, banana, raspberry, apple, cherry, molasses, peanut butter, ham, cheese, and more. If the product you need has been discontinued and is no longer available, we can prepare it for you. Please don’t hesitate to call if you have an unusual or rare request. We are here to help you find what you are looking for.
