Dr Woof VetCore™ Vet Med Scrubs Are Here: Built by Vets, for Vets

If you've ever finished a shift covered in fur, saliva, or something you'd rather not name, you'll understand exactly why Dr Woof created the VetCore™ Vet Med Scrubs range. Founded by a family of working Australian veterinarians, Dr Woof set out to fix the everyday frustrations of vet nursing and vet med work — scrubs that soak up every spill, knees that ache from hours on the clinic floor, and pockets that never seem to hold what you actually need.

Smilewear now stocks the full VetCore™ collection for Australian vet professionals, including scrub tops and GENU™ knee-protection cargo pants for both women and men. Here's what makes this range different, and how to choose the right pieces for your clinic.

What Is the VetCore™ Vet Med Scrubs Collection?

VetCore™ is Dr Woof's purpose-built fabric and design system for veterinary work, created specifically to handle the unique mess and physical demands of a career in vet med. Every piece in the range is designed and tested by experienced vet professionals, with two standout innovations:

• VetCore™ easy-care fabric with water and hair resistance, so spills roll off instead of soaking in and pet hair doesn't cling to every surface
• GENU™ removable knee protection (patent pending) built into the cargo pants, designed for anyone who spends their shift getting up and down off the clinic floor

The collection currently comes in two core colourways — Navy and Black — across both the tops and pants, for women and men.

Dr Woof VetCore™ Vet Med Scrub Top (Womens) — $59.00 AUD

The Womens VetCore™ Vet Med Scrub Top is designed for the reality of clinic life — think fur, disinfectant, and unpredictable patients — while still looking sharp enough for client-facing consults.

Key features:

• VetCore™ easy-care fabric with water and hair resistance
• Deep, angled side pockets designed to stop items falling out mid-shift
• Roomy chest pocket with an ID loop
• Subtle tailoring for a casual but polished look

Dr Woof Mens VetCore™ Vet Med Scrub Top — $59.00 AUD

The Mens VetCore™ Vet Med Scrub Top shares the same VetCore™ fabric technology and pocket design as the women's version, cut for a men's fit.

Key features:

• VetCore™ easy-care fabric with water and hair resistance
• Deep, angled side pockets to stop items falling out
• Roomy chest pocket with ID loop
• Subtle tailoring for a casual but polished look

Dr Woof VetCore™ Vet Med Cargo Scrub Pants with GENU™ Knee Protection (Womens) — $79.00 AUD

The Womens VetCore™ Cargo Scrub Pants are the hero product of the whole range, built around Dr Woof's patent-pending GENU™ knee protection system for anyone who spends their day kneeling, crouching, or restraining patients on hard clinic floors.

Key features:

• GENU™ removable knee protection (patent pending), designed to be low-profile when standing, lightweight, and fully removable for washing or drying
• VetCore™ easy-care fabric with hair and fluid resistance
• Bend-safe cargo pockets secured with Velcro for easy access
• 180° elastic waist with a drawstring for extra adjustment
• Six functional pockets: two front, two back, and two cargo

• Available in Navy and Black, sizes XXS–3XL

Dr Woof Mens VetCore™ Vet Med Cargo Scrub Pants with GENU™ Knee Protection — $79.00 AUD

The Mens VetCore™ Cargo Scrub Pants carry the same GENU™ knee protection system and six-pocket cargo layout as the women's pair, cut for a men's fit.

Key features:

• GENU™ removable knee protection (patent pending)
• VetCore™ easy-care fabric with hair and fluid resistance
• Bend-safe cargo pockets with Velcro closures
• 180° elastic waist with adjustable drawstring
• Six pockets: two front, two back, two cargo
• Waist loop for IDs or doggy bags
• Available in Navy and Black, sizes XS–3XL

How the GENU™ Knee Protection System Works

The GENU™ system is what sets these pants apart from a standard scrub pant, and it's genuinely built around the physical reality of vet work:

1. Slide the removable knee pads into the specially designed pouches on the inside of the pants
2. The pads sit low-profile when you're standing, so no one can tell they're there
3. They're lightweight enough that you'll often forget you're wearing them
4. Pull them out any time for washing, tumble-drying, or when you just don't need them that day
5. The pads are flexible and shock-absorbing, designed to bend and move with you rather than restrict you

It's a simple idea aimed at a genuine occupational hazard: sore knees from a career spent getting up and down off clinic floors.

How to Style the VetCore™ Collection

Because the whole range shares the same two colourways, building a complete VetCore™ look is straightforward:

• Everyday clinic look: VetCore™ top + VetCore™ cargo pants in matching Navy or Black for a coordinated, professional set
• Mix and match: Pair the Navy top with Black pants (or vice versa) for a two-tone look that still reads as put-together
• Knee-heavy days: If your shift involves a lot of time on the floor — dental work, X-rays, restraining larger animals — the GENU™ pants are worth prioritising even if you mix them with a top from another range

Frequently Asked Questions

What is VetCore™ fabric?

VetCore™ is Dr Woof's proprietary fabric designed specifically for veterinary work. It offers water and hair resistance, so fluids and pet hair are easier to wipe away without soaking into the fabric or requiring a mid-shift change.

What is GENU™ knee protection?

GENU™ is a patent-pending, removable knee protection system built into the VetCore™ cargo pants. Low-profile pads slide into pouches inside the pants to cushion your knees during kneeling or floor work, and can be removed for washing or on days you don't need them.

What colours does the VetCore™ Vet Med Scrubs range come in?

The full range — womens and mens tops and pants — is currently available in Navy and Black.

What sizes are available in the VetCore™ range?

The womens scrub top and cargo pants run XXS–3XL. The mens scrub top and cargo pants run XS–3XL.

Do the VetCore™ scrub top and pants need to be worn together?

No — the top and pants are sold separately and can be mixed with other scrubs in your wardrobe. That said, they're designed as a matching set, so wearing them together in the same colourway gives the most coordinated look.
