Frequently Asked Questions
Companion’s is a modern pet wellness shop and micro-apothecary dedicated to your animal companions’ quality of life. We combine expertly curated health products — from wound care and supplements to ear and eye drops — with our own thoughtfully crafted wellness blends, all guided by pharmacy-level knowledge and a deep love for animals.
We’re neither a veterinary clinic nor an ordinary pet shop. We focus on proactive, natural wellness and quality-of-life care, offering trusted health products that are hard to find elsewhere, plus custom formulations you won’t see on big-box shelves. We complement your veterinarian’s care by helping you keep your pet comfortable and thriving every day.
You’ll find a full range of top-tier pet health essentials in our shop: ear and eye drops, wound care solutions, joint and digestive supplements, calming aids, and more — each carefully selected for quality and safety. We also create our own small-batch wellness tinctures and treats, blending natural botanicals with a scientific approach to support your pet’s unique needs.
Yes. Every product on our shelves is chosen or formulated by a pharmacist with extensive expertise in both human and veterinary health. We vet every brand, scrutinize every ingredient list, and back it all with transparency and science — so you can shop with confidence.
Definitely. In addition to our curated health products, many of our wellness tinctures and botanical blends are compounded to order, meaning we can tailor them specifically for your pet’s needs, size, and sensitivities. We’ll happily work with you — and your veterinarian if needed — to find the best fit.
Absolutely. We view your veterinarian as a vital partner in your companion’s health. Our products are meant to support everyday wellness and comfort, and we’re always glad to coordinate with your vet, especially for pets with more complex needs.
Absolutely! We love hearing what’s worked for your companions or what you wish you could find locally. Your suggestions help us build a shop that truly serves our community’s needs. If there’s a product, brand, or type of item you’d like to see, please reach out — we’re all ears.
Soon! We’re putting the final touches on everything and expect to be live in the next few weeks. Join our email list below to be the first to know (and to snag exclusive early offers).
