When in doubt, reach out to our pharmacy, and we can guide you in selecting a form, flavor and even unique strength that will improve palatability and health outcomes. Yes, our pharmacists have even tried the flavors themselves!
 
Here’s a peek at the different forms we can compound to help ensure pet compliance
 

Capsules

Our capsules are a completely flavorless option that come in a variety of custom sizes for all your dosing needs. You can even combine multiple pet medications into one capsule. Our capsules come in sizes 5-00, including our MINIcaps which are the smallest in the industry and perfect for cats and small dogs.
