Pet Health Pharmacy Review and Information

The advances in pet health care over the last ten years have been staggering. However, your pet might not fully appreciate how fortunate a time he or she lives in. They may refuse to take their medicine. You can try wrapping the pill in food or crushing it into a powder, but the pet will have nothing to do with it. Pet Health Pharmacy has a way of getting around this. They have a technique called compounded medicine.

What Is Compounded Medicine?
At Pet Health Pharmacy, you can take one kind of medicine like a pill and get the same medicine in a chewy soft tablet form that your pet will take. Compounded medicines are also made in other forms like ointments, creams, sterile injections, suppositories, flavored liquids and transdermal gels (which are quickly absorbed). Please do not try to give your pet an injection or a suppository if you have never done it before. Get your vet or veterinary technician to do it.

Somehow or another, your pet will get his or her medicine because of Pet Health Pharmacy. They will only do prescription medicines, not over the counter medications like Frontline for fleas. You need to have your vet's office call them at 1-800-742-0516. They also have a website, www.pethealthpharmacy.com, which gives you all of the details about getting your pet's meds and how to pay for them.

Pet Health Pharmacy works with individuals and veterinary offices. You will want to discuss with your veterinarian if it would be better to ship the compounded medications to their office or to your home. Pet Health Pharmacy does have express shipping as well as USPS Priority Mail (which is about 2 to 3 days).

Pet Health Pharmacy also has access to some medications that your vet might not have on hand. Their website provides a list of what medications they have in stock. However, they sometimes can get drugs periodically in that might not be listed on the website. Pet Health Pharmacy will be happy to try and locate these drugs and talk to you or your vet about your pet's health.

If you happen to live near or in Youngtown, Arizona, you live close enough to Pet Health Pharmacy itself. If you want, you can pick the medicines up directly from them during their office hours. Call first for those hours just to be on the safe side. You can also get your refills from Pet Health Pharmacy.
