Help For Fido & Felix: Veterinary Compounding

If you've ever had a household pet, you know first-hand how much they truly become part of the family. Even though they may not speak the same language, your dogs and/or cats will likely find their own ways into your heart and before you know it, you won't be able to imagine your life without them.

With such an integral role to play in your family, it only makes sense that your furry friends deserve access to quality medicinal care. As dedicated animal lovers, all of us at the Lime in the Coconut Compounding Pharmacy are thrilled to be able to offer easy and fun solutions for your pets' medicinal needs.


Customizing Dosages To Each Pet

Just like humans, no two animals are alike. We offer compounded medication at the Lake of the Ozarks in order to ensure that each of our patients get the specific dosage they need for their unique situation, and we don't treat our animal patients any differently. Our experienced compounding pharmacist at the Lake of the Ozarks can design customized dosages to meet your pet's needs. 

In some situations, veterinarians prescribe a certain medication for your pet that is on manufacturer backorder and not commercially available. In these situations, our talented pharmacy technicians can mix the active ingredients together to create a prescription for an otherwise unavailable (or discontinued) product.

Making Medication A Tasty Treat

If you have ever tried to feed a pill to your pet, you can probably attest to the fact that most animals hate taking medication. Your pet can't understand the medicinal benefits of the medication; all he knows is that it tastes nasty, and he definitely doesn't want to eat it!

At The Lime in the Coconut, we have found a solution to this age-old problem. Rather than having to hide the pill in cheese or peanut butter to try to sneak it into your pet's mouth, you can simply feed her medication that tastes exactly like one of her favorite treats! We can make your pet's medication taste like...
  • Chicken
  • Bacon
  • Beef
  • Shrimp
  • Peanut Butter
  • Banana
  • Fish
  • Salmon
  • Marshmallow
  • Tuna
With your pet's medication cleverly disguised as a tasty treat, feeding it to your dogs and cats will be a breeze.

Ask Us About Veterinary Compounding @ The Lime!

Your pet's health is very important to us, and we take great pride in providing quality medication for cats and dogs to help them lead happier, healthier lives. Just as we can customize the dosage forms for our human patients, we can also customize the dosage form for our veterinary compounds. For example, we can deliver the medication as a transdermal gel, chewable treat, flavored suspension, suppository, or a flavored capsule. 

If you have a fur-baby at home in need of some medicine, give us a call to learn more about veterinary compounding at the Lake of the Ozarks. We would be honored to help you care for your beloved animals!
