12 Pharmacy Launches Second Location in Kyoto

12 Pharmacy, a company dedicated to providing specialized veterinary medication services, opened its second pharmacy location on May 7, 2026. This new facility is strategically located within the grounds of the Dakutari Animal Hospital Kyoto Medical Center, aiming to further enhance pet healthcare access in the Kansai region.

Background of the Opening

As the trend of treating pets as beloved family members grows, the need for specialized medication services in animal healthcare has surged. However, challenges have arisen in veterinary practices; the time-consuming process of prescription filling after consultations has led to longer wait times, detracting from critical moments veterinarians could spend with pets and their owners.

12 Pharmacy first introduced its concept of an animal hospital front pharmacy in July 2025 in Kawaguchi City, Saitama. This location was the first of its kind in Japan, aiming to create an environment where veterinary staff can focus on treatments, free from the burdens of handling medication themselves. With the launch of the new facility in Kyoto, 12 Pharmacy is committed to providing the same level of specialized support in the Kansai area.

• - Complex Medication Solutions: The pharmacy is equipped to handle high-level medications and specialized formulations tailored for various needs.
