As pet owners, we always strive to provide the best care for our furry friends. They become members of the family, and their well-being is your well-being. So, when you’re attempting to ensure they have the best health possible, it’s important to have an approach as unique as they are.
At Eastside Compounding, we offer specialised compounding services for veterinary purposes. This means we create tailored medications for your pets, which can address their specific needs and ensure they receive the personalised treatment they require.
As anyone with pets would know, one size does not fit all when it comes to medications. That’s where veterinary compounding comes into play.
What is Veterinary Compounding?
Veterinary compounding is the process of customising medications to meet the specific requirements of animals. Just like humans, pets have individual needs, allergies, or difficulties in taking certain medications. They also have their own likes, dislikes and preferences, all of which can create obstacles in giving them the care they need.
Veterinary compounding allows us to create personalised solutions that not only make pets’ lives’ easier but yours too. By adjusting the dosage form, strength, flavour, or combining multiple medications into a single dosage we can ensure that the medication is both effective and easily administered to your pet.
Our Veterinary Compounding Services
At Eastside Compounding, we offer a wide range of veterinary compounding services, including:
Pet Medication Flavouring
Just like humans, many pets are fussy eaters, and to them, some medications may taste unpleasant. Trying to administer medication to a pet that downright refuses to take it can be very frustrating. Compounding enables the addition of flavours that your pet enjoys, making it easier for you to get them to take their necessary medication.
Pet Medication Strength Adjustments
Animals come in different sizes and species, making it challenging to find commercially available medications with appropriate dosages. Some medication strengths aren’t suited to all pets’ needs. We can customise the strength of medications based on your pet’s unique needs, ensuring accurate and effective dosing without the side effects that may come with standard medication strengths.
Alternative Types of Dosage
It’s sometimes amazing to see the lengths a pet will go to to avoid a medication they don’t like. If your pet has difficulty or aversion to swallowing tablets or capsules, we can transform medications into easier-to-administer forms such as liquids, transdermal gels, or even pet treats.
Combining Pet Medications
Wouldn’t it be easier if you could just give your pet one treatment instead of finding unique ways to give them several different products at various times? If your pet requires multiple medications, we can compound them into a single dosage that they actually like, simplifying the treatment process and improving convenience.
Pet Allergies or Sensitivity
Like their human counterparts, some pets may have allergies or sensitivities to certain ingredients found in commercially available medications. At Eastside Compounding we pay attention to pet allergies and can formulate a suitable medication without those allergens, reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
Sourcing Discontinued Pet Medications
As with human medicines and products, occasionally, pharmaceutical companies discontinue certain medications for animals. This can be extremely challenging if you feel you’ve found something that works for your pet. Due to our extensive knowledge, our pharmacists can help recreate what works for your pet by compounding a solution. We want to continue providing essential treatments that really work.
