The point to this website is to provide, in my small and misguided way, some humor to the veterinary profession. Our books are either as dry as dust or often angle to the sentimental. Our magazines fill us with all the information and blah-blah-blah knowledge that we better internalize or else. And that’s fine if that’s what you need. If you learn anything from this site, my job here will have been a failure. After a particularly trying day, or case, or client, I hope you can come here, peruse the cartoons and find something to chuckle about.
Cartoons will be updated monthly, so keep coming back!
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES - I also have a book titled From The Back Row, which is a completely nonsensical book about veterinary school which started out as a Top Ten List of Vet School Stresses, when it was discovered that 10 was way too few.
Attention Parents of Veterinary Students!

As all of the content on this site is free, but does require time, effort, and finances to continue and maintain, there are a few ways you can help support FunnyVet.com.
1) You can have an original cartoon based on either your own idea, or something that has occurred in your clinic, or something for a friend or relative. It doesn't even have to be veterinary related. You send me the details and relevant material and I will illustrate and ship it to you. The cost starts at $60 plus shipping and handling. Depending on complexity it may be more, but this can be discussed and shouldn't be more than $150 on the top end. Please send your request to
