The global animal drug compounding market growth is anticipated to expand at a moderate CAGR of 8% from 2021 to 2030. Compounding drugs is the process of combining, mixing, and altering ingredients to fulfill the need of individual animal or group of animals. Compounding medications with flavors and colors makes them more palatable, a service which is especially useful for pets. Animal drug compounding is a service provided by some specialty pharmacies. It is a process, wherein medications are prepared in unique formulations for specific animals. These formulations can sometimes be quite important in meeting a patient's needs, especially when an animal is allergic to an inactive ingredient found in commercially available forms of the medication. These medications are tailored as per the needs of an individual group of animals and play a critical role in veterinary medicine. Compounded animal drugs are mostly prepared by pharmacists or veterinarians.
Increase in demand for companion animals, rise in the number of licensed veterinarians or pharmacists, and limited number of FDA-approved drug products for several species and conditions are anticipated to boost the global animal drug compounding market during the forecast period.

Flavored Suspensions, Custom Medications Aid in Easy Administration of Pets
Custom-compounded medications have become a fast-growing phenomenon in the animal drug compounding market. Erie Pharmacy is gaining popularity for its comprehensive product portfolio in custom oral capsules, flavored suspensions, and compounded tablets. Since compounded drugs can be a life-saving option for difficult to medicate pets, owners are seeking consultation from veterinarians for compounding and customizing the strength of medication doses.
