I found out about their compounding services when my vet ordered a liquid medication from Knowles Pharmacy with chicken flavoring. I was told there would be a shipping charge and from where it would shipped. When they said Knowles Pharmacy, I said no to shipping because I could pick it up. The Knowles Pharmacy is closer to me than the vet (Takoma Park Animal Clinic).
