In-house Pharmacy

Having an in-house pharmacy in a veterinary clinic offers several benefits for both veterinary patients and their owners.

‍

For Veterinary Patients

Immediate Access to Medications: Pets can receive necessary medications promptly, improving treatment outcomes and ensuring timely care.

Accurate Dosing: The veterinary team ensures that medications are precisely dosed according to the pet's specific needs, reducing the risk of dosing errors.

Customized Compounding: An in-house pharmacy can provide compounded medications, tailored to the unique needs of individual pets, such as flavored medications or specific formulations.

Consistency and Continuity of Care: Having a consistent source for medications helps maintain continuity in treatment, reducing the risk of switching between brands or formulations that might not be as effective.

‍

For Pet Owners

Convenience: Pet owners can obtain prescribed medications immediately without the need to visit an external pharmacy, saving time and effort.

Comprehensive Care: Access to an in-house pharmacy streamlines the care process, allowing pet owners to receive all necessary services in one location.

Expert Guidance: Veterinary staff can provide thorough instructions and guidance on administering medications, answering any questions and addressing concerns on the spot.

Availability of Specialized Medications: Veterinary medications at the doses/ concentrations that we need. An in-house pharmacy ensures these specialized medications are in stock.

Quality Assurance: The veterinary clinic can ensure the quality and proper storage of medications, giving pet owners confidence in the safety and efficacy of the products. If there is a concern with a drug reaction our veterinarian can report this on your behalf to get support from the drug company in the case of a veterinary on label drug to aid to get your fur family member back to feeling well
