Gifts for Interns - Mugs for Vet Assistants

You restrain animals who don't want to be restrained, assist with procedures that break your heart, and somehow stay positive for the next patient.

Why This Works

Vet assisting is hands-on animal care at its most real. You see everything and support the whole team through it.

Your coffee mug is the first thing you reach for every morning and the last line of defense against losing it in the 9am standup. A good mug doesn't just hold your caffeine addiction - it communicates your entire personality without you having to speak to anyone before 10am. These mugs say what you're thinking so you don't have to.

What You Get

  • -Dishwasher and microwave safe because life's already complicated
  • -11oz or 15oz options depending on your caffeine dependency level
  • -Print that won't fade no matter how many times you passive-aggressively sip

Things to Consider for Interns
