Rockville, MD (PRWEB) November 27, 2012
Center Pet Pharmacy - A pioneer in bringing veterinary medication to pharmacies throughout the US is seeing exponential growth. This innovative idea of bringing pet medication to the pharmacy by CEO and President of Center Pet Pharmacy, Kenny Kramm, has led a major breakthrough in the market. Pet owners not only will have access to pet prescriptions at much lower prices but will also get compounded pet prescriptions professionally made that abide by the strict regulations laid down by NABP (National Association of Board of Pharmacies). Each prescription is tailored to the needs of each pet and is not mass produced. As a company committed to animal health, Center Pet Pharmacy has standards that go above and beyond prevailing market standards.
Center Pets, goal is to improve animal health. With this goal in mind Center Pet has created flavored medications and treats for pets. This pharmaceutical flavoring system is used by pharmacists and veterinarians nationwide to improve the palatability of over-the-counter liquids and prescription medications. Flavors include Chicken, Bacon,and Salmon to name a few. The flavors are non-allergenic and free from dyes, sugar, phosphate, sodium, gluten, casein, and alcohol, making them safe for all vet medications and treats.
Center Pet Pharmacy brings veterinary medications from multi-national and US-based pharmaceutical companies to the local pharmacies. Each veterinary medication can be tracked down to the source and type of ingredients used, making sure that pets receive the same quality of health assistance as human-grade medications. In the wake of much concern due to potential sources of contamination, local pharmacies need to use the right vendor.
According to the American Pet Product Association, 62% of homeowners own pets, which equates to 72.9 million homes. In 2012, vet medicine constituted about 23% of total expenditures of veterinary products, equating to $12.56 billion. According to Prashant Sareen (BS, MBA, HT), Director of Business Development and Marketing, by 2017, the expenditure on veterinary products in the US market should total nearly $65 billion.
