Written
Although we have an assortment of vital medication both in clinic and on our online store, we may not have a certain drug in stock or cannot carry it here. If needed, we are able to write
Compounding
In certain situations we can provide flavoring or liquefying a medication. This is usually due to the patient not finding the medication palatable, being hard to pill, or being too small for the lowest dosage. The flavorings available range from most meat proteins, bubble gum, peanut butter, and certain fruits. Due to the extensive measuring and calculations along with this process, there is an added fee and a wait time. We ask for a lead time of at least 48 business hours for compounded prescription medication.
State Law
Please note that we do need a yearly physical exam by one of our veterinarians in order to dispense any medication or prescription food. This keeps us in line with state laws requiring a physician-patient relationship for medical prescriptions. If your dog or cat has a chronic condition, diagnostics may be recommended every 6 months to maintain your pets prescription.
