Hook veterinary patients' Elizabethan collars

If you're sick and tired of seeing plastic Elizabethan collars piled in the corner, put some towel hooks to work. Install a row of them along one wall and hang the collars on the hooks according to size. This simple solution gets the collars off the floor, and it's easy to maintain.
