COMPOUNDING SPECIALTY

Pet Medicine

If you've ever tried to get a pill down a cat's throat or watched your dog spit out a tablet wrapped in cheese, you know the challenge. Veterinary compounding turns your pet's medication into a form they'll actually take - a flavored treat, a tiny topical gel applied to the ear, or a liquid mixed into their food.

Playa Pharmacy works with veterinarians across the Westside to compound medications for dogs, cats, birds, and other animals in species-appropriate forms, flavors, and dosages.

What We Compound

Flavored oral suspensions and treats - beef, chicken, liver, tuna, and other pet-friendly flavors
Topical ear gels for cats - applied to the inner ear for medication without the struggle
Custom-strength thyroid medications (methimazole for cats is one of our most common veterinary compounds)
Pain management compounds for aging pets
Antifungal and antibiotic formulations in veterinary-appropriate forms
Behavioral medications (fluoxetine, gabapentin) in easy-to-administer forms
Medications that have been discontinued by veterinary manufacturers

Available Forms

Flavored liquids and suspensions
Topical gels (ear application)
Flavored soft chews and treats
Tiny capsules for small animals

For pet owners: If your pet won't take their medication, talk to your veterinarian about a compounded alternative. You can also call us directly at (310) 823-4500 and we'll coordinate with your vet.
