the cylinder toy on the last link would be dead easy to customise if you stuck a disc with practice logo in each end - but now I am doing your job for you

what is my commission by the way

just a few ideas of stuff already out there - cat ticklers were also one of our top sellers on cat toys

Felix cat food produced a clear plastic ball with a promotional 'spinner' inside @2004/5 was very cheap but cats absolutely love them substitute felix logo for practice logo and you are on a winner

were similar to these but clearer so you could see the logo inside

it doesnt have to be expensive! but needs to be easy to customise - same with food bowls

small mouse or similar with logo? plastic ping pong ball or similar with logo? cat key ring with logo? just something small - and I am not kidding the cat owners did feel short changed esp when they had both dogs and cats and dog goes out with snazzy bandana and cat gets nada. How about plastic food bowls with logos for both cats and dogs - esp if they are attending weight clinics? it doesnt have to cost a lot to make a client happy

and yes the group was the v word - but not anymore I am back in a small independant practice and loving it!

Hi Sal

Guessing that was V 4 P's, oops am i allowed to say that haha.

OK what similar products could be suitable for cats as I wouldnt have thought they would take too well to bandanas ?

Hi again Stu

Allow your head to buzz aloud haha give ideas and I'll see what we can do - we manufacture and print with practice logo / details the cardboard and correx cat carriers many of you use in practice together with bandanas for certain practice groups.

There is no reason why we cant produce more personalised items for veterinary practices in the Uk with small minimum orders at cost effective prices.

yes I have used the cat carriers and bandanas while working for one of the big groups - clients love the bandanas, but most stuff is geared towards dogs - cat owners felt left out!

OK.... so I quite like the idea of giving the clients a little diary with a page for their animals information... stickers with stuff like "booster due" etc etc for the client to stick through the diary...

I like the idea of fridge magnets with practice details phone numbers, website, opening times etc ... then it's always to hand... maybe even a line for animals id chip - although verbac have started providing these, which i love!

there's 2 to start...
