Veterinary Formulations Tailored by Species & Strength
Veterinary Compounding Solutions Veterinary medicine requires medications in forms, flavors, and concentrations that commercial manufacturers do not produce. That is where compounding begins.
Veterinary medicine presents a compounding challenge that human medicine simply does not. Your patients come in dozens of species, sizes, and temperaments. The commercial veterinary drug market covers a fraction of what you actually need. Medications need to be flavored, reformulated, dosed for a 4-pound cat or a 90-pound dog, delivered transdermally because your patient will not take an oral preparation, or compounded at a concentration that simply does not exist commercially. These are not edge cases. They are the daily reality of veterinary practice.
Pharmacy Solutions has been the compounding pharmacy of choice for veterinarians across the country for more than 30 years. As a PCAB-accredited 503A compounding pharmacy, we prepare patient-specific veterinary compounds per your prescription in the species-appropriate strength, flavoring, and delivery form your clinical judgment requires. We work with small animal practitioners, feline specialists, exotic animal providers, and veterinary specialists of all kinds. We prepare what you prescribe, for the specific animal patient you are treating, and can provide recommendations if needed.

Where Commercial Veterinary Options Fall Short for Your Patients
The commercial veterinary drug market was not built to solve the individualized needs of every animal that walks through your door. Common scenarios where veterinary prescribers turn to Pharmacy Solutions include:
- Patients requiring a drug that exists commercially for humans but is not available in a veterinary-appropriate form, strength, or species-specific dosage
- Cats and other animals who refuse oral medications and require transdermal ear gel preparations for compliance
- Small breeds, exotic species, or patients requiring concentrations significantly lower than any commercially available product
- Patients needing flavored oral suspensions in chicken, beef, fish, or other species-appropriate flavors to support medication acceptance
- Discontinued commercial veterinary products that your patients still need and that can be legally compounded with a valid prescription
- Multi-drug protocols where combining active ingredients into a single preparation improves compliance and owner adherence
- Ophthalmic preparations required at preservative-free concentrations not available in commercial veterinary products
Why Veterinary Prescribers Choose Pharmacy Solutions Veterinarians are practical prescribers. When a commercial product does not exist, is discontinued, or comes in a form your patient will not accept, compounding is the only path forward. The specific demands of veterinary compounding are different from human compounding in ways that matter: species-specific dosing ranges, transdermal ear gel delivery for cats that refuse oral medications, flavoring that determines whether a client can actually administer the medication, and concentration precision for patients whose body weight makes commercial strengths clinically inappropriate. What you need from a pharmacy is a team that understands these requirements, gets the formulation right the first time, and communicates with your clients so your phone is not ringing about compound status.
- PCAB-accredited in both sterile and non-sterile compounding, placing us among fewer than 2% of compounding pharmacies in the United States to hold this independent quality credential.
- All active pharmaceutical ingredients are sourced exclusively from FDA-registered suppliers.
- Sterile preparations are compounded in our ISO-classified cleanroom in compliance with USP standards. Our facility maintains full USP compliance for hazardous drug handling.
- Pharmacists with specific depth of knowledge in species-specific dosing, transdermal vehicle selection for feline and exotic patients, flavoring considerations across species, and the client compliance factors that determine whether a medication actually gets administered.
- Direct pharmacist access for clinical questions before you prescribe, with no queue and no callback from a technician.
What the Partnership Looks Like Day to Day
A veterinary compounding relationship should take the logistics off your practice and keep your clients’ animals medicated consistently. Here is what working with Pharmacy Solutions looks like in practice:
- Direct pharmacist access for species-specific formulation, flavoring, and delivery form questions at any stage of the prescribing process, with no queue and no callback from a technician
- Flavoring confirmed before compounding to maximize medication acceptance for each individual patient species and preference profile
- Proactive communication when something needs your attention, so your staff is not managing client calls about their pet’s compound
- Nationwide delivery with tracking, so your clients receive compounds regardless of geography
- Full veterinary dosing catalog available upon request covering all species, conditions, and dosage forms we prepare
- Consistent preparation quality and specification across every refill, so what a client’s pet receives this month is what worked last month
Accreditation and Quality Standards You Can Stand Behind
When you recommend Pharmacy Solutions to a client, your name is part of that recommendation. We take that seriously.
Pharmacy Solutions holds PCAB accreditation in both sterile and non-sterile compounding and maintains full compliance with USP <795> standards for non-sterile preparations. All raw compounding ingredients are sourced from FDA-registered suppliers. These are not marketing claims. They are verifiable credentials, and we are happy to walk your practice through them before you make any commitment.
More Resources for Your Health Journey
Pharmacy Solutions has been our compounding pharmacy for years and I cannot imagine practicing without them. When I have a cat that needs methimazole in a transdermal gel or a dog that needs a medication flavored and reformulated at a fraction of the commercial dose, they get it right every time. The pharmacists know veterinary medicine and that makes a real difference.

Frequently Asked Questions About Veterinary Compounding for Providers
How do I submit a veterinary prescription to Pharmacy Solutions?
Prescriptions can be submitted by phone, fax, electronically through your EMR, or through our secure online portal. A valid veterinary prescription for an individually identified animal patient is required for all compounded preparations. Our pharmacists are available to discuss formulation, flavoring, and delivery form options before you prescribe if you have questions about what we can prepare for a specific patient.
What flavoring options are available for oral veterinary compounds?
We offer a range of species-appropriate flavoring options for oral suspensions, solutions, and capsules including chicken, beef, fish, and others. Flavoring is discussed and confirmed at the time of compounding to maximize the likelihood of medication acceptance for each individual patient. Contact our pharmacists to discuss the best option for your patient’s species and preferences.
Do you prepare transdermal veterinary formulations?
Yes. Transdermal preparations, particularly ear gels for cats, are among our most frequently requested veterinary compounds. We prepare a wide range of medications in transdermal form for animals who cannot or will not accept oral medications. Contact our pharmacists to discuss whether a transdermal preparation is appropriate for your patient and which vehicle and concentration would be most suitable.
Can you compound for exotic species, birds, or reptiles?
Yes. While the dosing chart in our catalog is specific to dogs and cats, we regularly prepare compounds for exotic species, avian patients, and reptiles. Dosing for these species is determined in consultation with the prescribing veterinarian based on available literature and clinical guidance. Contact our pharmacists directly before prescribing for non-canine and non-feline patients.
What standards are your veterinary compounds held to?
Pharmacy Solutions holds PCAB accreditation in both sterile and non-sterile compounding, a credential held by fewer than 2% of compounding pharmacies in the United States. All ingredients are sourced exclusively from FDA-registered suppliers. Sterile preparations are independently tested for sterility and endotoxins according to current USP guidelines. Our facilities and processes are subject to ongoing independent audit and compliance review to maintain accreditation.
Can you compound a medication that has been discontinued commercially?
Discontinued commercial veterinary medications may be eligible for compounding with a valid veterinary prescription, subject to applicable regulatory requirements. Contact our pharmacists to discuss the specific medication, your patient’s needs, and whether compounding is a viable and compliant option in your situation.
