Covetrus, a global leader in animal-health technology and services, has opened its expanded, cutting-edge, 50,000-sq.-ft pharmaceutical compounding facility in Phoenix, AZ, which includes a nearly 25,000-sq.-ft expansion.

The new expanded facility significantly enhances Covetrus' pharmacy capabilities, allowing increased offerings of high-quality pharmaceutical products, including compounded medications, to veterinary clinics and pet parents across the US. Compounding is an important part of the Covetrus portfolio recognizing that customized medications, with a variety of flavor and dose form options, can significantly enhance pet wellbeing.

Through this expansion, Covetrus has doubled its pharmacy compounding space and now offers even more products and customization, using modern, automated equipment and enhanced facilities that meet the industry's regulatory compliance standards. Strengthened by the recent partnership with Epicur Pharma (a leading FDA-registered Section 503B outsourcing facility offering veterinarians medications for their in-clinic use), the new state-of-the-art facility creates supply reliability for veterinary clinics and the pet parents they serve with easy to prescribe and administer medications.

"Compounding is critical to the overall wellbeing of pets, and Covetrus is proud to partner with both veterinary clinics and pet parents to deliver this important service," said Abby Kaplan, senior vice president, compounding at Covetrus. "Through our expanded facility, we are not only extending our product portfolio to meet the needs of veterinarians and pet parents, but also contributing to the local Arizona economy. We are committed to fostering growth and training among the local pharmacy programs, while delivering exceptional products to the pets we serve."
