Going to veterinary school is such an incredible journey, but it takes a lot of hard work and time because there is A LOT to learn and practice. 

There is nothing compared to the feeling of wearing a cap and gown after all those years and say: “I MADE IT THROUGH VET SCHOOL”. Then look at the audience and wave at the people that have been a great support during this experience. 

We know you must be feeling incredibly proud of your family member or friend who is graduating from veterinary medicine, and you want to get a perfect gift for their achievement. 

Don’t worry; we’ve got you! Here are the best ten graduation gifts for veterinary students. 

Sneakers

After their graduation, some veterinarians will start working full time in veterinary practices, which is a lot of hours standing without rest. 

I love veterinary medicine thought about the need for comfortable and high-quality sneakers with beautiful designs that veterinarians will love! 

Our online store has a vast range of shoes with different patterns that are the purrfect gift for new veterinarians. Check them out right MEOW!geometric pattern sneakers e1584552988426 I Love Veterinary - Blog for Veterinarians, Vet Techs, Students

Stethoscope

Stethoscopes are a must-have for every veterinary staff. Veterinary stethoscopes are an excellent and useful present for a graduating vet because it is an everyday instrument.

It is essential to know the veterinarian’s needs in terms of brand preference, acoustic quality, and size to purchase the best stethoscope for them. 

Here are some of our favorite stethoscopes: 

Stethoscope tags

For new vets, it might be stressful at first to work full time in a vet clinic because they are getting to know their workplace, their co-workers, and clients. With all this in mind, they might not remember where they put their stethoscope, and someone else can take it by mistake.

You can help them avoid that by purchasing a personalized stethoscope tag from our online shop! They are the perfect gift combination with a stethoscope.stethoscope tags, graduation gifts for veterinary students by I Love Veterinary

Travel mugs

Travel mugs are the ideal gift for graduating large animal vets who love coffee! They are always on the road to get to the next farm.

Our travel mugs are unlike any you have seen before. They have many funny or inspirational quotes just for veterinarians.

“Good veterinarians talk to animals. Great veterinarians hear them talk back”  is one of our favorite designs for new vets!veterinary student graduation gifts travel mugs, I Love Veterinary

Tumblers

Tumbles are another great alternative to travel mugs, and they are actually one of our best selling products, so we know that everyone loves them!

You can’t go wrong with a tumbler for a graduating veterinarian. They may need a lot of tea, coffee, and refreshing beverages to keep them going through the day. tumblers, graduation gifts for veterinary students by I Love Veterinary

ZIP hoodies

Most new vets will be in their uniform almost every day, and after work, they may want to wear something cozy, but that at the same time represents their passion. 

ZIP hoodies are the most comfortable piece of clothing anyone can ever have in their closet (apart from PJs!). For those cold days or relaxing times, a ZIP hoodie is a perfect option!
