🐾 The Power of Compounded Medications for Pets

When it comes to our pets, we want the very best — especially when they’re sick or in need of special care. Just like humans, every animal is different. They come in all shapes, sizes, and personalities — and sometimes, standard medications simply don't work for them. That’s where compounded medications come in.

At Clear Choice Pharmacy, we specialize in compounded pet medications — customized solutions designed to make treatment easier, safer, and more effective for your furry family members.

🧪 What Is Compounded Medication?

Compounding is the process of creating a personalized medication by mixing individual ingredients in the exact strength and dosage form your pet needs. This may involve:

• Flavoring medications to make them more palatable (think tuna for cats or peanut butter for dogs)

• Changing the form of a medication (from a pill to a liquid or transdermal gel)

• Adjusting the dosage for small animals like kittens, puppies, birds, or exotic pets

• Combining multiple medications into a single dose to simplify treatment

🐶 Why Pets Need Compounded Medications

Not all veterinary medications are “one size fits all.” Here are a few common reasons a veterinarian may prescribe a compounded medication:

• Picky pets who spit out pills

• Pets with allergies to certain ingredients or dyes

• Animals requiring discontinued or backordered medications

• Tiny pets who need precise, tiny doses

• Pets with unique health conditions not addressed by commercial meds

🐕‍🦺 Popular Compounded Medications for Pets

At Clear Choice Pharmacy, we compound a wide range of medications tailored for dogs, cats, and even exotic animals. Some of the most common include:

• Methimazole for cats with hyperthyroidism (available as a flavored liquid or transdermal gel)

• Gabapentin for pain and anxiety

• Prednisolone for inflammation or autoimmune conditions

• Flavored antibiotics to treat infections

• Amlodipine for blood pressure in cats

💊 How It Works

1. Prescription from Your Vet: Your veterinarian sends us a customized prescription based on your pet’s needs.

2. Compounding Begins: Our trained pharmacy staff compounds the medication to the exact strength and flavor required.

3. Pick-Up or Delivery: You pick it up in person, or we deliver it to your door for convenience.
