Recognizing that it is easiest to give animals very small capsules we always strive to use the smallest capsule possible. We also have a variety of capsules colors for those patients on multiple medications. Liquids/Suspensions Treating pets just got easier! Flavor possibilities for liquid or suspension prescription medications include:
Dogs prefer meats, sweet, and cheese. Flavored Chewables
There are two chewable sizes to accommodate a variety of strengths. Available flavors include:
Flavored samples of our chewable pet medication are available to existing customers and veterinarians (with no medication). Flavored samples can be given to the pet to find the pet’s preferred flavor. We can then compound your pet medication in a tasty chew that the difficult-to-treat pet will happily consume! Transdermal Gels
The medication is absorbed through the skin and works in the same way if given orally. For pets who are not eating, have difficulty swallowing or otherwise refuse oral medications, transdermal drug delivery results in improved patient compliance and ease of use for pet owners. (See testimonials.) While we have had success with a number of drugs used topically, not all medications may be given by this route. Our pharmacists are available to assist in determining if a drug is suitable for transdermal delivery. MiscellaneousWe are able to compound a variety of other specialty items for use in your practice. These include:
At Golden Gate Veterinary Pharmacy, we strive to meet all of your pet medication compounding needs. If you are having a dosage form issue or compliance problem with an animal please do not hesitate to contact us! Please contact us with any questions or to place an order. |

Golden Gate Pharmacy has extensive experience in formulating
pharmaceutical preparations in a variety of forms that can enhance the
effectiveness of treatment for veterinary patients. 
Virtually any drug can be put into a capsule for use in veterinary medicine.
The encapsulation process allows us to customize dosages for a particular
animal very easily. We can take a product that is only available in a
20 mg tablet, for example and make a capsule that contains only 2 mg
of the active drug. We also are able to compound some combinations of
medications in one capsule so the pet owner may only have to pill once.
Golden Gate Veterinary Pharmacists has an acute awareness of drug stability
in various forms. It is paramount that the medication is bioavailability
in liquid. Once this is certain, the bitter drug can be suspended into
a liquid to make the medicine more palatable. Golden Gate Pharmacy has
dozens of flavors to choose from so to please the most finicky pet. Complete
directions are provided to facilitate accurate delivery. Medication information
sheets are provided so the pet owner may become astute in watching for
possible side effects. Medicines are delivered in a tinted bottle with
an Adapta-Cap to prevent wastes and mess. An oral syringe is also provided.
Flavored Chewables are great alternative for pets that have trouble
taking normal tablets, capsules, or liquids. The active drug is measured
precisely to the veterinarian’s order, and then mixed thoroughly
with a flavor base and gelatin. 
Topical gels serve as a topical alternative to giving medications by
mouth. A small amount of gel containing medication is rubbed into the
hairless area on the front tip of the animal’s ear.
