The FLAVORx Veterinary System is a tool used by pharmacists and veterinarians to help animals take their medicine. This unique program allows providers to turn hard-to-swallow tablets and capsules into tasty flavored liquids that animals prefer. Flavoring is a safe and effective solution to making medication palatable for animals and it relieves anxiety for the pet owners who must administer medication to their pets. FLAVORx is a service that customers willingly pay for; as a matter of fact 60% of pet owners are willing to pay between 50-200% premiums for medications that are easy to administer (2009 AAHA Compliance Study).
The FLAVORx Veterinary Program was created in 1999 to give pharmacists and veterinarians the tools and instructions they need to quickly, accurately, and profitably compound and flavor veterinary medications. This customer-friendly service is now offered in over 4,000 locations – from vet clinics and independent compounding pharmacies to grocers, chain drug stores, online pharmacies, and zoos. We provide our customers with everything they will need to make their new flavoring service successful immediately. Whether it’s a diabetic cat or a fussy ferret, this flavoring system will provide all of the necessary tools to turn medication into a tasty treat!
In the past, most pharmacists did not have the tools or training to compound medications for animals. Thus even the word ‘compounding’ made them send their customers and their money out the door. Not anymore! FLAVORx’s Digital Flavorist is a powerful, easy-to-use web-based tool that walks you through compounding and flavoring veterinary medications from start to finish. The formulary maps out the compounding and flavoring processes so that it is easy to understand and quick to perform. On average, simply flavoring a prescription takes approximately 15 to 20 seconds. If compounding is required, it should take no more than 1 to 3 minutes.
If you are sending your customers elsewhere to get their pets’ prescriptions filled, you are missing out on exceptional profits that will considerably increase your bottom line. You can accomplish so much more by offering the FLAVORx veterinary flavoring service. Offering to compound and flavor medications on-site enables you to provide your customers with a great convenience: one-stop shopping for all members of their family, including their pet. No longer will your customers have leave your pharmacy then go to another pharmacy just to pick up their animals’ medications. Profit margins on compounded and flavored prescriptions are phenomenal. There are very few services that yield this kind of return and at the same time produce a positive patient outcome and generate intense patient loyalty.
