What Patients & Practitioners Are Saying
About Our Compounding Medicines
Anyone who’s ever tried to jam a colossal tablet down the throat of an increasingly outraged cat will know that administering medication to pets and other animals is seldom an easy task.
Many people resort to crushing pills and adding it to food, however most animals – cats, dogs, pigs and horses in particular – have highly sensitive noses that enable them to detect traces of medication in a mountain of their favourite treat. Wily medicine-avoiders will sniff out medication-laced food and either reject it or eat some but not all. The latter scenario makes it hard to know how much medication they’ve actually had. What if they didn’t get much at all? If you try to give them another pill, will it be too much and will it make them sick?
A compounding pharmacist can help by disguising the smell and taste of animal medication and making it up in a more palatable form. We can make up medications as an easy-to-administer liquid or tasty paste in flavours like, chicken, tuna, beef and peanut butter. If your pet has a sweet-tooth we also offer flavours such as apple, honey and molasses (for horses).
We regularly work with vets across Australia to do just this. It’s easy to organise and in most cases it won’t cost any more than your pet’s regular medication. Just ask your vet to give us a call for an informal chat to get the ball rolling.
Sometimes medication wholesalers simply run out of stock and sometimes manufacturers make commercial decisions to stop making less popular medications. If you or your vet is having having trouble finding your animal’s regular medication, we might be able to help by making up supplies in our fully licensed and accredited laboratory.
You animal friend can continue on their regular course without switching to a less-than-ideal alternative medication or compromising their health.
For more information on how to ensure the animals in your care get the exact medication they need, when they need it, contact National Custom Compounding on 1300 731 755 or drop a line to [email protected].

About Our Compounding Medicines
To the Manager, I spoke to a lady in your office on Thursday who called to confirm my order. Unfortunately I did not hear her name properly. I asked her if she could expedite my order as I had run out that day and she said that she would do her best. To my overwhelming joy and surprise my vitamins arrived on Friday in Sydney when I was expecting it on Monday. This meant that I had my supplements over the weekend. Now I am reasonably sure that it took a concerted effort to make this happen. I therefore wanted to say a very big thank you to the lady I spoke to and all the people on your team that worked to make this happen. This is excellent customer service that is hard to find these days and wanted you and your team to know how much I appreciated it. Thank you again to you and your team.
“They’ve been very good to me as I have used them for 2 years as a practitioner and 2 years before that as a patient. As a patient I had no problems. They are respectful, friendly and their customer service is professional.”
