Setting the foundation for quality excellence
At Wedgewood, our ongoing investments are a testament to our commitment to your success. We continuously innovate and expand our capabilities to ensure veterinarians like you have the medications you need to provide the best care. These initiatives illustrate our unwavering commitment to supporting the veterinary community, ensuring that we continue to be a partner you can trust and rely on for the highest quality veterinary medications.How we are investing in the future of quality:
USP-Approved Analytical Testing Laboratory
Before the new USP standards went into effect on November 1, 2023, Wedgewood acquired an analytical chemistry laboratory. This facility performs essential sterility and stability testing, ensuring that our medications meet or exceed the stringent new requirements. With this investment, we can decrease testing turnaround times and rapidly respond to changes in demand so we can better support the health and wellbeing of the animals in your care.
New State-Licensed Pharmacy
Looking toward the future of veterinary care, we are excited to announce the construction of a new 90,000-square-foot pharmacy in Chandler, Arizona, set to open in early 2025. This state-of-the-art facility will significantly expand our capacity and enhance our distribution capabilities throughout the Western United States. This investment underscores our dedication to supporting your practice with the best resources possible, fostering a healthier tomorrow for animals everywhere.
