Craft Pharmacy
Veterinary compounding.
What compounding means here
The same medicine, in a form your animal will take.
Compounding is making a preparation by hand to a prescriber’s order. For animals, that usually means changing the form rather than the medicine — because the commercial version comes as a tablet the size of your thumb, or in a strength meant for a person.
Flavored suspensions
A liquid instead of a pill, flavored so it goes down without a fight.
Transdermal gels
A measured dose applied to the skin instead of given by mouth.
Capsules
Made to the exact strength written on the prescription, in a size that suits the animal.
Small doses
Strengths scaled down past what a commercial tablet can be split into.
Which animals, which forms and which flavors we can prepare depends on what your veterinarian has written. Call the pharmacy at (208) 233-1719 with the prescription in front of you and we’ll tell you straight away whether we can make it and what it will cost.
For referring veterinarians
Call us before you write it.
If you have a patient who won’t take what’s commercially available, talk to our pharmacist about the preparation first. We’ll tell you what we can make and what it costs the owner.

Turnaround depends on the preparation. Ask for the pharmacist and you’ll get a real answer on the call — that’s the fastest route either way.
