When they hang up their white coat at the end of a long day in the clinic, don’t let them settle for any old hanger. This wooden one comes in four finishes with black or white paw prints, and the wire is cleverly shaped to spell out their name.

Let them show their appreciation for cute animals with this 5 pack of sweet socks. Made to fit sizes 5 to 8.5, these women’s socks come in awesomely bright colors, and feature a different animal on the back of the ankle, along with ears which stick up above the leg.

Celebrate the animal doctor in your life with one of these adorable ‘Doctor’ candles. Available in a choice of eight scents, this candle – with a burn time of 60-84 hours – comes in a glass jar which arrives printed with their professional attributes, animal-themed graphics, and their name added under their professional title.

Add a vintage feel to their office or home with this unusual wooden sign. The top board announces their profession and a little of what that entails, while the hanging smaller board can be personalized with up to 2 lines of text. Distressed and nostalgic, it makes a great gift.

If you’re looking for a small but significant gift to give to someone who’s just graduated or is already in the field, this veterinarian’s keyring will make a very touching idea. Made from stainless steel, this key fob carries a paw print, a herald’s staff, and a tag with an inspiring engraving.

If you know a vet who also happens to be something of a hipster, this t-shirt will make an awesome gift. Soft, cozy, and pre-shrunk so it retains its comfy shape, this tee comes with a range of dogs’ and other animals’ faces, each sporting a cute pair of red hipster glasses.

Of all the professions to argue with, a veterinarian is probably one of the most dangerous, as this wine glass shows. Stemless so it’s not easy to knock over, this tumbler is available in a wide range of colors, and explains why arguing is a bad idea; personalization is also available.
