Frequently Asked Questions

Orders

How do I place an order for my pet’s prescription?

It’s simple! Search for your pet’s medication, provide information about your pet and vet. And leave the rest to us. We will contact your veterinarian, custom make your pet’s prescription, and ship it right to your door.

What kind of medications does WDP offer?

Wood Dale Pharmacy carries over 200 different types of medications. These medications can be compounded into different formulations such as capsules, tiny tablets, chewable treats, paw pastes, etc.

We currently do not compound injectable or ophthalmic medications.

Why does my pet need compounded medication?

Compounded pet medications are made-to-order with the unique needs of animals in mind. Your pet may benefit from using a compounded medication if they have a specific medical need that cannot be addressed by an FDA-approved drug. An example of this could be:

  • Your pet has difficulty taking pills 
  • Your pet needs medication in a strength that is not available 
  • Your pet is allergic to an ingredient in their medication

I don’t have a prescription yet. Can you contact the vet for me?

Absolutely! Just provide us with your pet and vet information and we will take over from there. 

Will I be notified once the vet approves my pet’s prescription?

Definitely! If we obtain verification from the vet on your behalf, we will keep you looped in. Make sure you provide us with an email address along with your phone number so we can stay in touch. 

Can I still place an order if I don’t have a prescription on hand?

Yes! A prescription is not needed to place an order.

For new orders, click here to tell us more about your pet, the medication they are on, and their vet. We will contact the vet on your behalf to request a prescription.

For refills, simply give us a call or send us a text at 630-509-0005

How can I check the status of my order?

We will call or email you as soon as we receive a prescription for your pet. We will also email you to confirm payment and email you a tracking number when your order is shipped.

Prescriptions

How can I submit my prescription to the pharmacy?

Prescriptions can be submitted in person or via mail. Our address is: 232 E. Irving Park Rd. Wood Dale, IL 60191

If you don’t have a prescription yet or you are unable to mail your prescription, no problem! Start here and we will contact the vet on your behalf. 

How can I figure out if the item I need needs a prescription?

Prescription items typically carry an “Rx” badge next to the medication name. If you’re unsure, just send us a text and we can help you determine if your pet’s medication requires a prescription or not. 

How can I tell my vet to send my pet’s prescription to Wood Dale Pharmacy?

You can provide your vet with the contact information for the pharmacy to get the process started. Alternatively, we can also get in touch with your vet on your behalf. 

The best way for your vet to send in a prescription safely and securely is through our Online Ordering System. They may also call us toll free at 866-686-2396 or fax us your pet’s prescription at 866-231-2664.

Compounding

Can you flavor my pet’s medication?

We absolutely can! In fact, we have over 20 different flavor options developed just for pets like our crowd-pleasing chicken marshmallow.  

I don’t know what flavor my pet will like. Do you offer recommendations?

Why, that’s what we do best! Our pharmacy staff is experienced and knowledgeable about flavor profiles and which type of animal prefers which. Call or text us to start the chat.

Do you offer medications for animals other than cats and dogs?

WDP offers medications for birds, reptiles, small animals such as rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs, and all other types of pets in addition to cats and dogs. 

At this time, Wood Dale Pharmacy does not service food-producing animals. 

Not sure if we can help your pet? Simply call, text or send us an email and we will let you know!

What is the process of compounding?

Our licensed pharmacists take raw active ingredients in 100% pure form and make them into animal-friendly capsules, chewable treats, topical ointments and creams, etc. to fit the unique needs of each of our patients.

Can compounded medications expire?

Compounded medications, just like any other medications, carry a specific shelf life. Since expiration dates can vary greatly based on the formulation, always refer to the expiration date on your product for the date beyond which the medication should not be used. If you have questions about where to find this information, get in touch with our pharmacy staff. 

Is there a best practice to follow when disposing of compounded medications?

The FDA has put together the following instructional to dispose of unused medications: https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/where-and-how-dispose-unused-medicines

If you have additional questions regarding the safe disposal of compounded medications, reach out to your veterinarian or one of our vet pharmacists.
