Swedesboro, NJ – Today marks a significant milestone as Bakersfield, CA-based Precision Equine Pharmacy completes its integration with Wedgewood, uniting under the Wedgewood name to serve the equine community with an expanded range of compounded medications in horse-friendly dosage forms and flavors. In 2023, Wedgewood, based in New Jersey, acquired Precision, along with Lexington, KY-based Wickliffe Pharmacy and Novato, CA-based Brava Pharmacy as part of its merger with Portland, ME-based Blue Rabbit. Blue Rabbit is Wedgewood’s PIMS-integrated e-prescribing and home delivery platform.
Precision and Wickliffe are now integral parts of Wedgewood Equine, a dedicated division within Wedgewood focused on equine care, leveraging over 80 years of combined equine experience. Wickliffe will complete integration later this year, further solidifying the resources and expertise of the newly combined division.
Alejandro Bernal, Wedgewood’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Expanding our services and offerings to the equine community is a pivotal part of our strategy for the future. This exciting integration represents our commitment to providing comprehensive, specialized medications and services that meet the evolving needs of equine veterinarians and horse owners alike. We are dedicated to enhancing our capabilities and ensuring that Wedgewood remains at the forefront of veterinary pharmaceutical innovation, setting new standards for care and excellence in the industry."
Susan Welch-McCulloch, who continues her leadership as Director of Business Development, Equine & Special Markets for Wedgewood, comments, "We are thrilled to bring Precision customers a broader range of medications and solutions, along with an expanded support team. This integration enhances our ability to serve the equine community more effectively. This is more than a merger; it is a celebration of shared values and visions. We look forward to a future where our combined expertise leads to better outcomes for veterinarians, horse owners, and the animals we all care deeply about."
Jackie Bernard, Head of Wedgewood Equine, warmly welcomes Precision, saying, "We are thrilled to welcome Precision and its talented team into our family.
