As many will know, we had one of our cats (Lily) put to sleep just over a week ago.
Today I received in the post a rather tasteful card (photo of a woodland scene) containing a hand written message of condolence, vis:
"Our condolences after losing Lily. It is always a difficult decision, and I think we did the best thing for her. She was obviously much loved and I'm sure she is being missed, kind regards (vet's name)"
I have been a client of the practice for over 20 years, both large animal unit, equine and pet, but this is the first time I have received a card from them, despite having a dog and a horse put down.
I would have really appreciated this (and in a way I still did) had I not known that a friend had received a card worded exactly the same when her Nigel was put down.
On the back of the card it was shown as copyright of www.vetindex.co.uk
I still haven't had the bill from them, but the cynical part of me wonders what percentage of it might be to cover this gesture?
