What is a veterinary pharmacist?

Veterinary pharmacists are licensed pharmacists who specialize in preparing and dispensing medications for animals. They work with veterinarians to ensure that animal patients receive the correct medications, dosages, and formulations. In addition to dispensing drugs, veterinary pharmacists may also compound medications, provide drug information to pet owners, and help manage drug therapies for a variety of animal species. Their expertise bridges the gap between veterinary medicine and pharmacy, ensuring safe and effective pharmaceutical care for animals.

What does a veterinary pharmacist do?

The job duties of a veterinary pharmacist include preparing medication, making dose measurements, and helping administer drugs to animals. In this career, your responsibilities include communicating with the owner of a pet or livestock animal so that they understand how to give the medication. You fill each prescription from a veterinarian, maintain an inventory of pharmaceutical products for animals, and source specific medications when necessary. You may also offer insight to veterinarians about the uses and side effects of medicines.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a veterinary pharmacist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Veterinary Pharmacist, you need a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree, state pharmacist licensure, and specialized knowledge of veterinary pharmacology. Familiarity with veterinary compounding, pharmacy management systems, and regulations regarding animal medications is essential. Excellent communication, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills help in collaborating with veterinarians and advising pet owners. These skills ensure safe, effective medication management and optimal health outcomes for animal patients.

What are some common challenges veterinary pharmacists face when working with both veterinarians and pet owners?

Veterinary pharmacists often navigate the unique challenge of communicating with both veterinarians and pet owners to ensure optimal medication use for a variety of animal species. They must be adept at interpreting veterinary prescriptions, which can differ significantly from human prescriptions, and often require creative problem-solving to compound or source animal-specific formulations. Additionally, educating pet owners about proper dosing, administration techniques, and possible side effects is crucial, as animals may react differently to medications than humans. Building strong collaborative relationships with veterinary teams and maintaining up-to-date knowledge on animal pharmacology are key to overcoming these challenges.

Job description


Small Animal Medical Oncologist - Clinical Research Focus
Location: Austin TX
Austin Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Center (AVES) is seeking a board-certified Medical Oncologist to join our newly established Clinical Trial Center, working alongside a board-certified Small Animal Internal Medicine Specialist within our expanding specialty and emergency hospital in Austin, TX. This unique role allows you to blend top-tier clinical oncology with groundbreaking research, working directly with industry leaders in veterinary pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and treatment innovation.

  • See a variety of case types, including some outside of traditional oncology practice, expanding your scope based on new and emerging areas of veterinary research.
  • Benefit from a structured research environment where projects are provided, allowing you to focus on clinical execution and discovery rather than grant writing.
  • Have dedicated time for data entry and research coordination, ensuring high-quality documentation and compliance with study protocols.

Who Should Apply?
This position is perfect for:
  • A newer diplomate drawn to the academic aspects of clinical research but preferring a structured setting with industry-sponsored studies rather than independent grant writing.
  • A seasoned private practice oncologist seeking a balanced consultation schedule with dedicated time for research while continuing to provide exceptional patient care.
  • An oncologist who enjoys variety and is open to expanding their expertise based on the evolving landscape of veterinary clinical research.

What We Offer:
  • Competitive compensation and benefits
  • Collaborative, multi-specialty hospital environment, including 24/7 Emergency & Critical Care, Internal Medicine, Anesthesiology, Surgery, Oncology, Neurology and Ultrasound. Cardiology services are provided daily by CVCA Cardiac Care for Pets. Radiation Oncology and Rehabilitation and Acupuncture will be available in the fall of 2025.
  • A supportive team including research coordinators and skilled technicians to assist in study execution
  • The opportunity to work on groundbreaking studies with top-tier industry partners

No prior research experience is required, though previous involvement in clinical research is highly preferred.
