Compounding is a way for licensed pharmacists to create a customized medication that meets your pets specific needs. Compounding pharmacists mix or change one or more FDA-approved medications to prepare a special medication for your pet. For example, if a medication is only available in pill form, the pharmacist might create it in liquid, gel, or capsule form.
Your pet may have a specific health need that cannot be addressed by an FDA-approved drug. For example:
Always talk with your veterinarian about any concerns you have about your pets health so they can prescribe a treatment for your pets unique needs.

These pills are huge and not for cats. It's good if you want to take out the powder and put in food but my cat is too smart for that. Had to get from a different pharmacy that compounds it into smaller pills. Price for this med is REALLY high but I found it cheaper elsewhere.
This is a great alternative (Generic) to the very costly Vetmedin (Name Brand). I thank Chewy for offering.
This medicine is given to my dog for his enlarged heart. It works I think but it is always hard to tell. He is still wheezing/coughing from time to time but I am sure it is helping more than it is not. My only complaint is that he needs 5mg and chewy offers 4mg and 6mg but no 5. I am currently giving him one 2mg and one 3mg which is frustrating. It should be just ONE 5 mg pill. Chewy- please do something about this!
Sorry, I don't think I realized our dog Lucy's meds were gonna be capsules from Chewy. I can't get her to take them even if I try to put it in some bacon. She eats the bacon and leaves the capsule. She was taking her liquid medicine we were getting from a different place and the cost went up to high so we decided to get it from Chewy. What I decided to try is put some beef broth into a glass, just enough to fill her syringe, then open the capsule and dump it into the glass. Then fill her syringe with the liquid. She takes it but it's just time consuming. We may go back to the liquid. At $89.00 a bottle.
These meds are helping my dog live longer! Thank you Chewy for making it more affordable.
My dog Piper was diagnosed with MVD B2 stage in October 2021. We were prescribed Pimobendan and used another Compounding Pharmacy initially that came highly recommended. Unfortunately the first two months on the Pimobendan she had loose stools. I knew something seemed off & that compounded medications can vary by pharmacy. Chewy had a new RX deal around Thanksgiving & I decided to give these a go for her refill. Aside from being almost 70.00 less expensive for a 2 month supply my dogs stool was back to normal within a week. Fast forward to our follow up Echocardiogram in April 2022 and her heart enlargement is gone. We will continue to use this version from Chewy & are very pleased. I would not be able to afford the upfront cost of Vetmedin even with insurance for a 50lb dog and Chewy has allowed me to give my dog what she needs with no stress! Thank you chewy!
Please start making it in a 2.5mg!! I get all my dogs heart medicines through chewy except this one because of skipping this dosage size.
AT FIRST, I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THESE PILLS WOULD BE MORE DIFFICULT TO ADMINISTER TO MY SHIH-TZU, CUTIE PIE, BUT THEY ARE NOT. PLUS, THESE PILLS, A 1.5 mg, AND A 1 mg, WERE QUITE A BIT LESS EXPENSIVE THAN THE OTHERS, THAT HAD THE SAME MEDICINE IN THEM. THANK YOU, CHEWY, FOR LOWERING OUR (mine and cutie pie's) MEDICAL BILL THROUGH THE SCRIPTS !! REGARDS, DAVE
So Thankful for Chewy. I almost lost my Boy Chance. This medication is so expensive and to keep him alive this is his life-saving meds to be taken everyday. Being on a fixed income and affording these medications are possible with Chewy’s help. Thank You so Much for letting me keep him with me longer.
Love that Chewy carries this product. I was getting it from a different mail order compounding pharmacy and they had terrible customer service and a shady pricing structure. I still have to use that other pharmacy for my other pup’s prescription strength and hope that Chewy starts carrying it in the 2.5mg strength so that I can switch hers as well!
