Having Trouble Getting Fido to Take His Meds? Try Compounding!
Do you dread having your vet give you a bottle of pills for Lucky — knowing the battles of trying to get him to take it? I know my dogs are fooled by putting pills in bits of meat, cheese, or peanut butter only once or twice and then then greedily devour the pill holder before spitting out the now-slimy pill for me to try again!
If you have problems with your pet taking his or her meds, check out the new celebrity spotlight on Kenny Kramm , owner of Center Pet Pharmacy where they specialize in compounding medications into novel pet-accepted formulations. And before you think this will be another boring list of drug alternatives, you should know that Kenny has an amazing story to tell. His interest in compounding really began after his newborn daughter was administered the wrong medication in the hospital and developed permanent neurological disabilities — necessitating daily medication. Using compounded medications, battles over medications turned into a daily routine. This led to the development of compounded medications for other children and eventually for pets.
Kenny’s story is inspiring. Check out this celebrity spotlight and learn important life lessons and valuable tips on how to help get your pet the medications he or she needs.
