4 of the Best Scrubs for Veterinarians

Veterinarians are hard on their scrubs, and finding affordable scrubs that can hold up to a full day of treating animals can be tough. Below, we’ve identified six key factors that you need to keep in mind when shopping for scrubs for veterinarians. Then, we’ve highlighted some of our best-selling veterinary scrubs to help narrow down your shopping.

What to Look for in Veterinary Scrubs

Shopping for scrubs for veterinarians is both a science and an art. Here’s what you should look for as you shop for veterinary scrubs:

• Fabric blend: The fibers used in the fabric, and what percentages they are, will affect many of the fabric’s properties, including how much it stretches and what it feels like. Check out our ultimate guide to scrub fabric if you want to know the details of picking a fabric blend.
• Fabric treatment: Fabric treatments can also affect the material’s properties, including whether or not it helps repel water, bacteria, stains and more. Fabric treatments can increase the performance or longevity of the scrubs, so it’s important to read up on them before you buy.
• Fit: Some people prefer more tailored scrubs, while others like a looser fit. For women, a junior fit will be the most tailored, followed by a missy fit. A unisex fit will be the loosest for both sexes. Men who want something a little more fitted should seek out men’s scrubs.
• Size range: If you need extended sizes, or petite or tall sizing, that will narrow down your options. Not every size is available from each collection, so use that to guide your search as you look for scrubs for veterinarians.
• Features: Pockets are a must-have for scrubs, but the features don’t stop there. You might also want a badge loop, side vents for breathability or an adjustable drawstring waist on your pants. Features help distinguish one scrub collection from another and can be used to further narrow down your selection.
• Colors: Your practice might dictate a particular color that you must wear to work, or you might be able to select from a range of hues and prints. If you have a particular color in mind, it might only be available from certain brands.
