The Evolution of BRD: A Compounding Pharmacy

Starting in 1925 as a community pharmacy, pharmacist Thomas B. Strickland served his community by providing personalized medications in a time when the profession of pharmacy was centered around the art of compounding. Thomas was then succeeded by his son, pharmacist Thomas “Buck” Strickland, Jr. who continued to provide his community with the highest standard of care.

The love the Strickland family had for the pharmacy profession, with particular interest in compounding, continued with Buck’s son, pharmacist Michael R. Strickland, who quickly recognized the demand for a veterinary focused compounding pharmacy. In 2014, the patient population and focus of BRD shifted from humans to animals, all while continuing to provide the same standard of care the Strickland family was revered for in the community.

Today, fourth generation pharmacist Peyton Strickland has continued his family’s legacy by serving veterinarians and their clients across the United States with affordable and quality veterinary medications. As a result, BRD has established itself as a well-respected asset to the veterinary compounding field. In the continuous pursuit of excellence, BRD became accredited by the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB), the premier accrediting body in the compounding pharmacy community.

Combining the passion for compounding with the love for animals, BRD has become a trusted source for custom medications tailored to the specific needs of each patient. The PCAB accreditation is a testament to the pharmacy’s commitment to quality and safety, ensuring that each medication is prepared with the patient’s safety in mind.

Today, BRD continues to innovate and evolve, staying at the forefront of the industry to meet the changing needs of its clients. Whether you’re an animal owner, veterinarian, or caregiver, you can trust BRD to provide the medications and services you need with compassion and expertise.
