Do I need a prescription from my veterinarian?arrow_forward

Yes. Compounded animal medications require a valid prescription from a licensed veterinarian, the same way human compounds require a human prescriber. Apothecary & Co. works from what your vet writes and can speak with the clinic directly about strength and dosage form.

My cat won't take pills. What are my options?arrow_forward

Apothecary & Co. compounds medication into transdermal PLO gels that are applied to the skin rather than swallowed, and into flavored solutions and suspensions. For cats that refuse oral dosing entirely, a transdermal gel is often the difference between a treatment plan that works and one that gets abandoned. Your veterinarian decides which route is appropriate for the drug involved.

Can medication be made into a treat my dog will actually eat?arrow_forward

Yes. Apothecary & Co. compounds chewable treats in two sizes for dogs and cats, made in your pet's preferred flavor. Chewables work well for daily long-term medications where a pill becomes a fight twice a day.

What forms can my pet's medication be made in?arrow_forward

Apothecary & Co. compounds veterinary medication as transdermal PLO gels, chewable treats, powder capsules, creams, pastes, lotions, solutions, suspensions, and powders dispensed through a puffer device. Combination medications are also available, which put more than one drug into a single dose.

My pet takes four different medications. Can they be combined?arrow_forward

Often, yes. Apothecary & Co. compounds combination medications that put multiple drugs into one preparation, reducing the number of separate doses an animal has to accept each day. Whether specific drugs can be combined is a clinical decision your veterinarian makes based on stability and dosing.

Do you compound for animals other than cats and dogs?arrow_forward

Yes. Apothecary & Co. compounds for all creatures great, small, domestic, or exotic, including birds, reptiles, and small mammals where commercial products are rarely available in a usable strength. Exotic species often need doses far smaller than any manufactured product offers, which is a core reason veterinary compounding exists.
