As a B2B marketing professional selling to veterinarians, you understand the importance of making a lasting impression at key industry events. It’s no secret that the love language of veterinary professionals is SWAG!
With two of the largest veterinary trade shows just around the corner it’s time to start ordering swag for your booth.
Now that we’ve established a timeline, let’s take a look at our veterinary trade show swag ideas.
Holden specializes in helping businesses create high-quality, custom-branded products that veterinarians love. With a wide variety of options, from fun giveaways to essential trade show tools, we’re here to help you shine at both VMX and WVC. Here are 18 branded products that will not only attract attention but also help veterinary professionals remember your brand long after the trade shows end.
Adorable and memorable, custom branded stuffed animals are a fun way to capture attention at your booth. Veterinarians will appreciate these cute keepsakes, and they are perfect for handing out to attendees or displaying at your booth to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Whether worn by your staff or given away to booth visitors, custom t-shirts are a classic and effective way to promote your brand. These shirts can feature your logo, clinic name, or a catchy veterinary-themed phrase, making them wearable advertisements that extend your booth’s reach far beyond the tradeshow floor.
If you don’t have the space to store larger items like t-shirts (or the desire to manage the inventory of sizes), caps are a great, high-impact trade show giveaway item. Offering custom branded adjustable caps ensures your brand gets carried around not just during the event but well after it. Plus, they make great giveaways that both staff and attendees will love.

Bandanas are a fun way to feature your brand. They’re universally loved by veterinarians and their 4-legged companions at home. There are always dogs roaming around the trade show floor–get one of them to sport your stylish swag to increase brand exposure. Reach out to our team for more information on designing custom bandanas that are sure to stand out.
Small but mighty, custom pins are a great way to add a personal touch to your giveaways. Create pins with veterinary-specific jokes in addition to your brand to level-up in-booth engagement. Whether worn on a jacket or displayed on a bag, these pins can promote your brand in an impactful way.
Help attendees carry their swag while promoting your brand with custom reusable bags. Tote bags are a must-have at any trade show, providing both practicality and visibility as attendees walk the floor. These bags also offer great utility after the trade show is over as shopping bags.
Another practical option for carrying swag, drawstring bags are lightweight and easy to carry. Custom branding these bags ensures your logo gets seen by a large audience throughout the tradeshow and often end up on the sidelines of soccer games after the trade show giving your brand extra exposure.
Economical and compact, Koozies are a great giveaway option for those smaller 10 x 10 booths. Keep drinks cool and brand visibility high with custom koozies. These fun, practical items are perfect for giveaways, allowing attendees to enjoy their beverages while showcasing your logo.
Tumblers offer a great solution for a more premium product giveaway. Consider saving these as a gift for customers, or prospects who agree to an in-booth demo. Tumblers are a useful giveaway that veterinarians will continue to use long after the event, ensuring ongoing brand visibility.
Everyone forgets band aids at trade shows. Everyone NEEDS band aids at trade shows. Walking a mile from the Luxor to the Mandalay Bay? Trekking from great distances on I Drive to the Orange County Convention Center? Those poor ankles are always in dire need of medical care by the end of day 1 of the trade show. Give the people what they want with a small branded first aid kit. These have great staying power after the event as most recipients will keep the case and refill them as their inventory runs low.
Branded lip balm is an especially welcome giveaway at WVC as many attendees are ill-equipped for the dry desert air of Las Vegas. These little lip balms are easy to ship and store even in small booths.
Pens are a tradeshow staple for good reason—they’re practical, portable, and always in demand. With your branding on a high-quality pen, your company will remain top-of-mind every time someone jots down a note.
Ensure your booth staff looks professional and approachable with custom branded name tags. Not only do these help staff stand out, but they also subtly promote your brand throughout the tradeshow.
Send veterinary professionals home with branded badge holders for their clinic badges. These practical items offer great visibility and make excellent giveaways.
Working in ved med is not for the faint of heart. Send booth visitors home with a stress ball. These are available in many different shapes including hearts and brains!
Keep attendees powered up and your brand visible with custom branded power banks. These are an essential tool for any trade show, ensuring that your booth is remembered for its practicality and thoughtful giveaways.
Help attendees stay organized by offering custom branded notepads. They’re perfect for jotting down notes during sessions and meetings, and your brand will stay in front of them every time they write something down.
If you’ve been at VMX and WVC lately you may have noticed that real tattoos are sometimes offered as a giveaway on the show floor…and they are POPULAR!!! Not every brand has the wherewithal to bring actual tattoo artists to the show, but custom branded temporary tattoos are the next best thing. There are also typically many children walking the show floor at VMX and temporary tattoos go over very well with this young audience.
