Idea Exchange: Try this prescription to keep track of personal items

Keep track of pets' personal items with easy-to-make prescription labels.

To ensure that patients leave the clinic with all their belongings, we attach labels made by our prescription label machine when patients check in. The labels list the pet owner's information and the patient's name. We attach the labels to kennels, leashes, collars, blankets—anything the animals came into the clinic with.
