This is a very funny gift for veterinarians or for students and aspiring vets. People love puns. There is just something about a good pun that can make anyone have one of three reactions – Cracking up with laughter, smiling, or groaning at the corniness.

Some people seem to speak puns as a fluent language, always having one ready to use in any situation. And your good-humored veterinarian is no exception. So for the veterinarian who loves a good pun, this mug is the perfect gift for them. It’s sure to have them barking with laughter every time they use it!

Animal Shaped Bookmark Clips


Veterinarian clinics have a lot of paperwork to handle. From bills to medical files to prescription scripts and more, it seems like there is paperwork everywhere at a vet clinic! And sometimes a packet of papers is just too big for a stapler to staple through.

Sure to put a smile on the face of clinic workers and patients alike! These paper clips are not just cool but are very useful for veterinary students as well.

The holidays are a cheerful and festive time. They are a celebration of love, life, friendship, and general merriment.

Especially around the holidays, it’s nice to have something pretty to look at to take your mind off of things.

Leash Hanger


A veterinarian’s office is much like a doctor’s office – Sparsely decorated to help prevent the build-up of germs and bacteria caused by illness. It is also to give the place a neat and professional look.

However, unlike a doctor’s office, a vet’s office is full of animals. And some of those animals to be walked. So this brilliant leash hanger is the perfect decor piece to add some life to the office and this gift also has a practical function. Also excellent to hang up in their own home and display their dog’s leash collection!

It even helps with their hairballs. So if you are looking to add some plants to the vet’s office, this is the gift to get! Every cat will love it!

Dog Paw Earrings

So for a simple, no hazard possible accessory, these paw prints earrings are a fine gift for female vets! Cute and able to be worn without risk!

This dog anatomy model is the perfect educational addition to any veterinarian’s office. There is also a cat model if you want the pair!
