Idea Exchange: A shining tribute to cherished patients

A reader tip for signaling a veterinary patient's passing.

Getty ImagesWhen a pet has passed or is being euthanized, we put up a sign that says “A moment of silence-in loving memory” and light a candle at the front desk so everyone in the clinic can be respectful of the family and their loved one. Our clients really appreciate it.
