Custom Pet Medications 

Giving medicine to a pet shouldn't be a struggle. If you have a hard time with pills or you needs a specific dose that is not commercially available, Healthfirst Pharmacy can help. We work with local Hagerstown veterinarians to create custom compounded medications that are easy to administer and tailored specifically for your animal companion.

Our Veterinary Compounding Solutions

  • Custom Flavoring: We can make medicine more appealing by adding pet friendly flavors like chicken, beef, or fish into liquids and treats.
  • Alternate Dosage Forms: If your pet refuses pills, we can compound the medication into a different form, such as a liquid, cream, or transdermal gel.
  • Personalized Dosing: We create medications in the exact dosage strength your pet needs, perfect for animals of any size, from small kittens to large dogs.
  • Access to Discontinued Drugs: If essential medication is no longer manufactured, our compounding lab can often recreate it with a vet's prescription.

Why a Local Pharmacy?

We provide a personal touch that online-only pharmacies can't match. Our pharmacists collaborate closely with you and your veterinarian to find the best solution, ensuring your pet gets the precise care they deserve right here in our community.

This is a great pharmacy. They respect your needs and privacy and will go the extra mile to make sure you have what you need. Much better than the big chains where you're just a number. You should give them a try.

This is my favorite pharmacy. Shiva and the staff make you feel like part of the family. It's a throwback to small, family-oriented pharmacies. No stress like the big stores and someone actually comes to the counter when you walk in.
