Veterinary Compounding
Pavilion Compounding Pharmacy is a world-class veterinary compounding pharmacy. We provide fast, reliable, compounding services for dogs, cats, and other common house pets, along with exotic or unusual species, such as snakes, squirrels, lizards, fish, primates, and horses or other large animals.
Compounding is a unique approach to pharmaceuticals in that it allows for customized medications that meet every patient’s unique needs, and the patients that veterinarians see are perhaps the most unique patients of all. Because animals cannot tell their veterinarians about their symptoms, diagnosing animals is exceptionally challenging. Administering therapeutic drugs can also be difficult, particularly if the animal needs several medications.
Benefits and Uses of Veterinary Compounding
The pharmacists at Pavilion work with our clients and pet owners to customize medications for each animal in their care. Some pets dislike the taste of their medications, and this can make it hard to administer critical drugs. Many animals prefer Pavilion’s veterinary flavors, such as grilled chicken, peanut butter, tuna, liver, strawberry, and other natural tastes.
Other animals, especially very small or very large animals, may need a dose that is not commercially available. Pavilion Compounding can customize strengths for nearly every animal, from a 2 lb. kitten to a full-size horse. In some cases, our compounding pharmacy for animals can provide veterinary medications discontinued by the manufacturer.
Pet compounding makes it possible to combine two or more drugs together in a single dose, which makes it much easier to administer medications to animals that need multiple drugs. Compounding also ensures the animal never misses a dose, and helps veterinarians and pet owners manage an animal’s medications and refills.
Dosage Forms for Pets and Exotics include:
- Chewable Medicated Treats
- Transdermal Gels/Creams
- Liquid Suspension and Solutions with Animal-friendly Flavoring
- Capsules (beef or chicken flavored available)
- Topical Creams Ointments Lotions

- Antibiotic suspensions for snakes
- Transdermal gels of thyroid medications for cats, applied to the inside of the animal’s ear
- Capsules and chewable medications for incontinence or arthritis in dogs
- Medications for rabbit, kangaroo, and equine patients
The pharmacists at Pavilion Compounding can formulate medications in a variety of dosage forms, including liquid, capsule, and chewable tablets. Ask us about our many methods of providing this for your four-legged or winged family member!
