Malaysian pet food and supplies retailer Pet Lovers Centre (PLC) has opened its first pharmacy for pets called Vet Pharmacy.

Vet Pharmacy is also Malaysia’s first veterinary-exclusive pharmacy where owners can find pet supplements, shampoos, and seek basic medical guidance for their pets. The pharmacy features different brands of medications – which they dub “petceuticals” for preventing ticks and fleas, heartworm, and intestinal worms.

“With the opening of Malaysia’s first vet pharmacy exclusively for pets, PLC hopes to step up the level of pet care offered by the pet industry in Malaysia,” the company said in a statement.

Vet Pharmacy said it will add flavorings into compounded medicines, made on-site, to make them more palatable to pets with picky appetites.
