Scrub caps for vets and vet nurses

Finding the right veterinary scrub cap is almost as much fun as spending your days surrounded by animals. At the practice, surgery, consults, fur everywhere and long hours on your feet all come together, so your cap needs to be comfortable, practical and, ideally, covered in a pet print that raises a smile. Here’s how to find yours.

Why a good veterinary scrub cap makes all the difference

Veterinary work is very physical: holding, bending down, moving fast. A cap with a secure hold stops your hair getting in the way at the worst possible moment, and breathable fabric is a blessing when the day stretches on between consults and theatre.

• A secure hold for working with restless animals.
• Breathable fabric for busy practices.
• Full coverage for your hair, which also helps keep patients’ fur out of it.

Pet prints you’ll fall in love with

What could be better than wearing your favourite animals on your head? Prints with dogs, cats, paw prints and other animal motifs are a classic among veterinary teams, and they add that warm, friendly touch owners in the waiting room love. A cheerful cap is also a great ice-breaker with the youngest members of the family.

A cap covered in paw prints says a lot about you before you’ve said a word.

Comfortable styles for practice

Depending on your hair, some shapes work better than others. If you have long hair, the Dorothea model covers it completely; if you prefer a snug fit, the Zendal model is very comfortable for busy days. You can see every option in our scrub cap collection.

Choosing for your hair

If you’re not sure which shape suits you, our guide on how to choose a scrub cap for your hair type explains it step by step.

Practical for a busy practice

In veterinary work it pays to have more than one cap to hand, as patients’ fur and surgery mean frequent changes. Our caps, handmade in our workshop since 2019 in breathable fabric, keep their charm wash after wash.

1. Keep several theatre caps to rotate between operations.
2. Choose prints that disguise the hustle and bustle of the day.
3. Go for breathable fabrics if your practice runs warm.

Personalise your veterinary scrub cap

Embroidering your name or your job title makes your cap unmistakable, which is really handy when several people share a changing room. With our personalised scrub caps you can add the detail that says ‘you’, and pair it with an animal print for a little wink to your patients.

Simple care so they last

To keep the colours bright, wash at 30 °C max, with no bleach, and air-dry. That way your pet prints will stay as adorable as on day one, keeping you company through every day among the paws.
