Animal Pharmacy

What Animal Pharmacy does

The Animal Pharmacy is a privately held veterinary compounding pharmacy operating in Victor, New York (also referenced as Canandaigua, NY), under the legal entity CRM-Canandaigua LLC. The company custom-formulates medications for companion animals, producing transdermal gels, chewables, capsules, flavored solutions, suspensions, and chewy treats tailored to each pet's size, weight, dosage requirements, and flavor preferences. It also compounds discontinued medications that are no longer commercially available. The staffed site is supported by approximately 8 employees and leverages 20+ years of specialized veterinary compounding experience, with the company self-describing as Upstate New York's largest animal compounding pharmacy.

The business runs a B2B2C model in which veterinarians initiate prescriptions and the pharmacy then contacts the pet owner for education, pricing authorization, and shipping directly to the home. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the company offers free U.S.P.S. First Class Mail shipping on all compounded prescriptions, with UPS available for expedited delivery. Beyond prescriptions, the pharmacy sells non-prescription animal care products, vitamins, and an OTC flea/tick SKU (VETIQ's Vetguard Plus+). The website is content-led, with a refill request form, downloadable patient care forms, and an online refill portal sitting alongside veterinarian-facing educational content.

The Animal Pharmacy operates within a broader pharmacy portfolio under the same parent LLC, which includes a human compounding pharmacy (compoundingrochester.com) and The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy, suggesting a multi-pharmacy retail strategy combining human and animal compounding. Geographically, over 80% of active patients are in Upstate New York, with shipping extending throughout New York State and other parts of the United States.
