Getting the right medication at the right dose is a core part of good veterinary care, and it takes more than just handing over a prescription. Our in-house pharmacy is stocked with commonly needed medications, and we take the time to explain how each one works, how to give it, and what to watch for along the way.
Dr. Morales and Dr. Fernandez keep every medication your pet receives logged in their digital record, which helps prevent dangerous drug interactions and keeps care consistent over time. For specialized medications we don’t stock, we source them through trusted veterinary pharmaceutical suppliers so your pet still gets what they need.

Antibiotics treat bacterial infections in the skin, ears, urinary tract, respiratory system, or internal organs, and proper diagnosis guides which one fits your pet’s specific infection. Pain medications, from anti-inflammatories to stronger options for severe pain, help pets recover from surgery, injury, or arthritis more comfortably.
Diabetic pets need insulin, and we provide the supplies and hands-on instruction for injections and glucose monitoring. Heart medications regulate rhythm and reduce strain on the cardiovascular system, and thyroid medications correct hormone imbalances in hyperthyroid cats or hypothyroid dogs. Both usually require lifelong treatment with periodic bloodwork to keep doses accurate.
Monthly heartworm, flea, and tick preventives, along with deworming medications for intestinal parasites, are core to keeping pets protected in Miami’s year-round parasite season. Call (786) 885-1590 if you need a refill or want to talk through options.
We show you how to give pills, whether hidden in food, in a pill pocket, or placed directly, and how to measure liquid medications properly. Never give your pet a human medication without checking with us first, since common drugs like ibuprofen and acetaminophen can be seriously harmful to dogs and cats even in small amounts.
Store medications as labeled, some need refrigeration, keep everything out of reach of children and pets, and never share medication between pets even with similar symptoms. For ongoing conditions, reach out before you run low, since we typically require a current exam before refilling long-term medications to make sure treatment is still on track.
For pets who won’t take standard pills, we work with compounding pharmacies to create flavored liquids, transdermal gels, or other custom formulations, especially helpful for cats, small dogs, or pets on long-term treatment.
Some medications need periodic bloodwork to confirm they’re working safely, and we schedule follow-up testing based on what your pet is taking. We discuss expected costs upfront, offer generics where appropriate, and accept CareCredit and Cherry financing to help manage the cost of ongoing treatment.
At Your Family Veterinarian, we’re proud to offer:
Yes, we maintain an in-house pharmacy stocked with commonly prescribed medications, so you can often leave your appointment with everything in hand. For specialized medications, we source them through trusted veterinary suppliers, and every prescription is logged in your pet’s digital record to help prevent dangerous drug interactions.
Many of the most effective preventives require a veterinary prescription, since they’re dosed by weight and need to match your pet’s health profile. We can prescribe and dispense these during your visit, or write a prescription if you’d prefer to fill it elsewhere. Call (786) 885-1590 to discuss options.
Yes, we have access to compounded medications made as flavored chews, transdermal gels, liquids, or other forms that make administration easier, which is especially helpful for cats, small dogs, or pets on long-term treatment.
No, many medications safe for people are toxic to pets, including common pain relievers like ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Even medications sometimes prescribed for pets need dosing specific to their species, weight, and health status, so always check with us first.
A current exam lets us confirm the medication is still the right fit and catch any changes in your pet’s condition that might need a different approach. This protects your pet by catching problems that can develop between regular visits, rather than refilling indefinitely without a check-in.
Whether it’s a new prescription or a refill, we’re here to help. Call (786) 885-1590 or book online to schedule a visit with Your Family Veterinarian. Our clinic is located at 16355 SW 88th Street, Miami, FL 33196 in the shopping plaza with LA Fitness and Starbucks. We’re open Monday through Friday, 9am–6pm, and Saturday, 8:30am–2pm.
