The NAVC Bookstore began with a simple mission: to sell the books that we publish, as well as other veterinary textbooks from an assortment of publishers. We also included a small line of merchandise and apparel with a veterinary theme. Because the NAVC is a nonprofit organization, the earnings from all sales are reinvested in the NAVC’s educational programs, helping to reduce costs of services and products for our veterinary community.
At VMX 2020, we relaunched the NAVC Bookstore as Shop NAVC, expanded our merchandise and apparel offerings, and donated proceeds from the sale of notebooks to Not One More Vet (nomv.org), an online mental health support network for veterinary professionals. The Shop NAVC area was also where VMX attendees donated funds to help animals impacted by the catastrophic wildfires and drought in Australia, and with the NAVC matching donations we sent $25,000 to NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service Inc.
Shop NAVC is the only place where you can buy the 4 books published by NAVC Media. These exclusive titles are dedicated to the small animal practitioner with step-by-step procedures and images: Dentistry in Small Animal Practice, Guide to Clinical Ophthalmology, Small Animal Abdominal Ultrasonography, and Small Animal Radiography: Essential Positioning Guide. You can also find all of the annual Veterinary Meeting & Expo (VMX) Proceedings—from large animal and exotics to practice management and zoological medicine—for both veterinarians and veterinary nurses, dating back to 2016.
Shop NAVC is also your source for the specialty merchandise we carry. Although scrubs are the official uniform of most veterinary staff, we encourage individuality! To jazz up your uniform, why not get one of our super soft T-shirts, a pair of fun, colorful socks, or a hat? Youth and baby sizes are also available in our T-shirt designs.
Since veterinary professionals are so dedicated to the job and often work beyond the 9 to 5, we have some office essentials that will help the day fly by. There are notebooks to jot down reminders and pertinent information. We have a stainless-steel straw set, complete with a cleaning brush and case, to help you stay hydrated. You can even spread the cheer with our fun magnets that you can put on the staff fridge.
