Veterinarians are typically thought of as having jobs that are very serious, as they help animals through life and death situations every day. While this is certainly the case, it doesn’t mean they’re devoid of humor. Here’s some funny veterinary signs that will sure to make you chuckle.

No, they definitely would not!

Anyone who has ever owned a cat knows how true this sign is. Though we love our cats, it can’t be denied that they aren’t the friendliest of creatures.

Nobody likes the dreaded cone.

There are few things that dogs and cats hate more than those pesky cones. Being placed in the cone is for their own good, but they don’t understand that. If you put yourself in their shoes, you likely would not want to be in the cone either.

Now this is every parent’s worst nightmare

This vet is not messing around when it comes to dealing with rowdy kids. This is definitely a sign that all parents are going to take notice of!

These dogs are so lucky!

This vet has come up with a fun way to make dogs a little less scared of visits to his office. What dog would turn down a free belly rub?!

We can’t argue with this one!

Nobody wants to end up like the dinosaurs, so if your pet is making a fuss about going to see the vet, you should tell them to consider themselves lucky that they have the option to go there at all.

Sing it loud and sing it proud!

There’s nothing like a good pun to make us laugh during a visit to the vet. It’s too bad our cats can’t read this one, because they sure would get a kick out of it!

And here’s another song.

This is a different take on the Sir-Mix-A-Lot song, and it’s one that we could all agree with. I don’t know about you, but I sure do like a good big mutt!

Ah, I see what you did there.

This is a funny joke, but it also serves as a reminder of just how important neutering your pets really is. Not only does it prevent dog pregnancies, but it also makes them less aggressive, less wild, and yes, less “nuts!”
