The Cat Practice Pharmacy

The Cat Practice in Oak Park is your one-stop location for all of your cat’s veterinarian needs. In addition to the outstanding services provided by Dr. Lori Coughlin, we also provide an on-site pharmacy for all of your cat’s medication needs.

What If My Cat Won’t Take Pills?

Many cat owners struggle with getting their feline friends to take their medications. For those kitties who struggle with pills, we provide transdermal preparations when possible. Please note that only certain medications can be delivered this way, but when it's possible we will make this option available to our clients.

Medications are prepared by using a transdermal gel which can be absorbed through your pet’s skin. Pet owners love using this method, especially for fussy pets. We have found that the following conditions can be treated with this method: hyperthyroidism, allergies, and even hypertension. If you are interested in this form of treatment for your pet, please talk to our pharmacy to see if your pet’s meds can be prepared this way.

What Other Options Does Your Pharmacy Have?

In addition to the transdermal gel medications, we also offer flavored liquid medication as well. Pet owners have found that this option is usually well tolerated by cats who usually will not take medication.

Our pharmacy also works to provide perfectly cat-sized medications. In many cases, there are medications that are not formulated for cats. When a cat needs these types of medications it must be specially formulated for them. Using the proper dosage makes for the safe delivery of medication for your cat. Speak with our pharmacy staff about these cat-sized doses of important medications.

Do You Carry Maintenance Meds?

Our pharmacy carries many of the maintenance meds that cats need. Being able to conveniently pick up your pet’s prescriptions in a one-stop location simplifies your life and saves you time. We carry several of the top name brand topical parasite products. These include Frontline, Revolution, and Advantage Multi. These products are crucial to your cat’s long-term health.
