At Tree of Life Exotic Pet Medical Center, we understand that exotic pets have unique medical needs—especially when it comes to medications. Many commercially available drugs are formulated for cats and dogs, making them unsuitable in dose, form, or flavor for birds, reptiles, small mammals, amphibians, and other non-traditional pets. That’s why we maintain a fully stocked in-house pharmacy with the ability to prepare custom, species-appropriate medications on-site.
Custom Formulations– We can compound medications into the exact concentration, form, and flavor your pet needs, whether it’s a tiny dose for a parakeet or a liquid suspension for a chameleon.
Immediate Access– Because we dispense directly from our hospital, you can begin treatment the same day—often within minutes of your appointment.
Species-Safe Ingredients– Some additives and fillers in human or dog/cat medications can be harmful to exotics. We ensure every prescription is safe for your pet’s species.
Better Compliance– By tailoring flavor, form, and dose, we make medications easier for you to administer and more likely for your pet to accept.
Oral liquids in flavors appealing to specific species (e.g., fruit-flavored for parrots, unflavored for reptiles)
Specialized suspensions or gels for tiny doses
Topical creams and ointmentsfor skin, shell, or feather issues
Injectable medications are prepared at the correct concentration for small or sensitive patients
Emergency medications for critical care situations
Having our own in-house pharmacy means:
No delays waiting for outside compounding pharmacies
Assurance that your pet’s medication was prepared by a team experienced with exotic species
Convenience—everything you need is available before you leave your appointment
Our staff follows strict quality control procedures to ensure accurate dosing, proper storage, and safe handling of all medications. We are always available to answer your questions about how and when to give your pet’s medication, and to provide tips for successful administration.
