A pill organizer: your veterinary practices fix for late refills

Photo: Shutterstock.comFor more forgetful clients who frequently call in prescription refills late, encourage them to get a one- or two-week pill organizer and fill it according to the pet's medication schedule. Then keep it as back-up meds-when they open the pill organizer, they'll know they're down to the last week or two of meds and can request a refill in a more timely manner.

This is also great for clients who live in disaster-prone areas, since they'll already have meds sorted out and ready to grab on short notice.
