Medications For Every Creature in Your Care

From great apes to groupers, from African elephants to arrow frogs — no two species in your care have the same pharmaceutical needs. We partner with zoo veterinarians, vet technicians, and aquarium teams nationwide to provide the custom-formulated medications that standard pharmacies can't provide.

Compounding isn’t just a nice-to-have for zoo and aquarium teams — it’s the only approach that makes precision medicine possible across species that vary in body weight, metabolism and drug sensitivity.

Quick, reliable access to medication is critical in zoo care. Our pharmacy offers fast and free shipping to all 50 states on all new prescription medication orders. Sterile preparations are available in 48 states, excluding California and South Carolina). You’ll receive clear delivery windows at checkout.

A Collection as Diverse as Yours

We work with the full spectrum of zoological collections — from big cats, great apes and elephants to marine mammals, reptiles, birds of prey, fish, aquatic invertebrates and more. No collection is too complex or too diverse.

What Types of Medications Does a Zoo Pharmacy Provide?

Zoo and aquarium teams work with species that differ by orders of magnitude in size and physiology. Standard commercial medications are rarely sufficient—compounding is how precision care becomes possible across an entire collection.
