Veterinary Compounding Pharmacy
in Canton, GA

What Is Veterinary Compounding?
Veterinary compounding is the preparation of customized medications specifically designed to meet the unique needs of animals. At Cherokee Custom Pharmacy, our compounding pharmacists work closely with veterinarians to prepare personalized medications in the prescribed strength, dosage form, flavor, and formulation. Compounded medications may provide an alternative when commercially available veterinary medications are unavailable or not suitable for your pet’s individual needs.
Prescription Review
We begin by carefully reviewing your veterinarian’s prescription to understand your pet’s medication needs. Our pharmacists verify the prescribed ingredients, dosage strength, and formulation to ensure every compounded medication is prepared accurately.
Custom Medication Formulation
Our experienced compounding pharmacists prepare personalized medications tailored to your pet’s prescription. We can customize flavored oral liquids, capsules, transdermal gels, chewable formulations, topical preparations, and other specialized dosage forms to help make medication administration easier.
Medication Counseling & Support
When your pet’s prescription is ready, we provide clear instructions for proper administration, storage, and handling. Our pharmacists are available to answer your questions and help ensure medications are used safely and effectively.
Ongoing Pharmacy Support
We’re here to support your pet’s treatment with prescription refills, medication questions, and communication with your veterinarian if adjustments to the compounded medication are needed.
What to Expect with Our Veterinary Compounding Services
Who Can Benefit from Veterinary Compounding?
-
Pets that require specific medication dosages not commercially available.
-
Animals that refuse to take medication due to taste or form.
-
Pets with allergies to inactive ingredients in standard medications.
-
Exotic animals needing unique formulations for their species.
Improved Pet Compliance
Compounded medications can be flavored to appeal to a pet’s palate, making administration much easier and less stressful. This significantly increases the likelihood that your pet will take their full course of medication. Better compliance leads to more effective treatment outcomes and a healthier pet.
Precise Dosing Accuracy
Many animals, especially very small or very large ones, require dosages that are not available in standard commercial strengths. Compounding allows for exact dosing, minimizing the risk of under- or over-medication. This precision ensures your pet receives the optimal amount for their specific needs.
Reduced Side Effects
By removing unnecessary fillers, dyes, or preservatives that may cause adverse reactions, compounded medications can be gentler on your pet’s system. This tailored approach helps in mitigating potential side effects often associated with mass-produced drugs. A cleaner formulation supports overall pet comfort.
Access to Unavailable Medications
When a specific medication is discontinued or difficult to source, compounding can provide a vital solution. Our pharmacy can prepare these medications from scratch, ensuring your pet has continuous access to necessary treatments. This capability is crucial for managing chronic conditions.

I have a couple compounded prescriptions that I just moved to this pharmacy. They filled them much faster than I am used too. I dealt with Kevin. He is one of the pharmacist and he answered my questions well.
