Mixlab

Veterinary pharmacy creating customized pet medications

Overview

Mixlab partners with veterinarians to create and deliver customized medications for pets. It uses a digital platform that veterinarians use to write and manage prescriptions, replacing faxes and phone calls, and then ships compounded and branded medications directly to pet owners’ homes. The product works by customizing dosage, form (liquids, treats, transdermal gels), and flavor (over 30 options) to improve pet compliance, alongside offering generic and brand-name meds and OTC products. Mixlab differentiates itself through veterinary collaboration, a focus on pet-specific compounding, a streamlined e-prescribing workflow, fast delivery (free next-day shipping nationwide and same-day delivery in major metros), and strategic acquisitions like NexGen Animal Health to extend services to large animals. Its goal is to simplify pet medication management for veterinarians and pet owners while expanding access to diverse, palatable, and timely treatments.

The integration is designed to improve efficiency in high-acuity care environments, offering access to Mixlab's compounding services, industry-leading turnaround times, and free nationwide shipping. It is now available to Instinct customers across the United States.
