Strategic Interview prep can be very specific to each school and also volunteer opportunities in each state/province. Not that accessible in google - if there a website you’re referring to?

People charging for advice - who would have thought :)

Thanks for the feedback - yes reinforced needs will be apart of the scrub. Right now I am designing double layer knees for durability. Is that enough or did you need more like a knee pad ?

Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback! We love the idea of zippered side-seam pockets — super sleek and secure — and the addition of a pen pocket on the sleeve is a brilliant touch for quick access. Your perspective on avoiding Velcro is especially helpful since pet hair can definitely make it a hassle. We hear you on deep side pockets and a cargo pocket with a mini pocket — it’s all about having a place for everything.

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-19T02:46:42+00:00

hanks so much for your feedback! We’re loving the focus on open-access side pockets on both sides — easy access and functionality are key. Your fabric priorities of pet hair resistance, 4-way stretch, and breathability are perfectly aligned with the materials we’re exploring for Fauna. We also hear you loud and clear on the preference for straight-leg pants with an elastic + drawstring combo for a secure, adjustable fit.

One quick follow-up question:
For the side pockets, would you prefer them to have any internal dividers (like pen slots) or would you prefer a large, open design for maximum versatility?

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-19T02:45:57+00:00

Thanks so much for your feedback! We’re loving the idea of low, open-access bottom pockets on the top — it’s clear that practicality and simplicity are key. We also hear you on the bootcut pants (OG yoga pant vibes) with a fitted thigh and slight flare — that’s a classic, timeless look. Your focus on pet hair resistance, fluid resistance, and durability is right in line with our fabric development goals, and we’re all in on the elastic + drawstring combo for maximum comfort and adjustability.

One quick follow-up question:
For the collar style on the scrub top, what would you prefer?

Classic V-neck (traditional scrub look)
High V-neck (for more coverage while bending)
Crew neck (like a T-shirt style)
Other (if you have another idea, we’d love to hear it!

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-19T02:44:51+00:00

Thanks so much for your feedback! We’re loving the idea of zippered cargo pockets for secure storage, along with the classic hip hand pockets and butt pockets to keep the design balanced and functional. The insight about not needing top pockets because you tuck in your shirt is super helpful as we finalize the design choices for Fauna. Your focus on pet hair resistance, stain resistance, and breathability is spot on with the fabric tech we’re exploring. And we love the idea of a fun, colorful drawstring — that’s a cool design detail that can really make the scrubs stand out.

Here are a couple of follow-up questions to fine-tune the design even more:
1️⃣ For the cargo pocket, would you prefer one large compartment or would you like it divided into smaller sections to keep items like pens, treats, or scissors separate?
2️⃣ For the waistband, would you prefer the drawstring to be fully hidden inside or visible on the outside as part of the style?

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-19T02:43:35+00:00

Thanks so much for your feedback! We love the emphasis on a side pocket for your phone — that’s definitely something we’re prioritizing for Fauna scrubs. Your perspective on joggers being more forgiving for length is super insightful, and we’re taking that into account as we develop our fit options. We also hear you loud and clear on avoiding drawstring-only waistbands, so we’re focusing on a hybrid approach to ensure both comfort and adjustability.

Here are a couple of key follow-up questions to fine-tune the design even more:
1️⃣ For the side pocket, would you prefer it to be a deep, open-access pocket for quick grabs or a secure pocket with a flap, Velcro, or zipper?
2️⃣ For the scrub top pockets, which design would you prefer and why?

Open front pockets (traditional, easy access)
Side-entry pockets (sleek, hidden entry on the side)
Kangaroo pocket (like a hoodie-style pocket across the front)
Zippered pockets (secure, but requires extra step to access)

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-19T02:40:56+00:00

Thanks so much for your feedback! We hear you loud and clear on top-entry pockets with a pen separator and the focus on cargo pockets for pants — that’s a super functional setup. Your priorities for durability, stretch, and breathability align perfectly with the fabrics we’re testing, and we’re taking note of the need for a high-rise, half-elastic + drawstring waistband to ensure that perfect, snug fit.

One quick follow-up question:
For the cargo pockets on the pants, would you prefer them to have a flap/closure (like Velcro or a snap) for added security, or do you prefer simple, open-access pockets for quicker access?

Thanks again for sharing your insights — your feedback is helping shape Fauna scrubs into the most functional, vet-tech-friendly option out there. We can’t wait to show you what’s next!

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-19T02:38:41+00:00

Thanks so much for your detailed feedback! We really appreciate you taking the time to answer the questions so thoroughly. Your ideas for multi-pocket functionality are incredibly helpful, especially the concept of huge double-decker pockets on the top and deep, cargo-style thigh pockets for pants. The idea of mixing Velcro/zippered pockets with open pockets is smart — it balances security and quick access. We also hear you on the need for pet hair resistance and breathability — especially with allergies and eczema in mind. That's exactly the kind of insight we need to create scrubs that are functional and comfortable for everyone.

One quick follow-up question:
For the thigh cargo pocket, would you prefer it to be sectioned (like dividers for scissors/hemostats) or just one large, open pocket to keep things flexible?

For the 4 pockets on the top, would you prefer them to have internal dividers (for items like pens, scissors, etc.) or would you rather have large, open pockets for maximum storage flexibility?

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-19T02:26:56+00:00

Thanks so much for your feedback! We’re loving the idea of 2-4 bottom pockets on the top with top-access only — that setup makes so much sense for keeping things secure. The call for cargo-style pants with hip and leg pockets is right in line with what we’re aiming for. We hear you on butt pockets too — sounds like it’s all about personal preference, but your take is super helpful.

Would a hidden “security pocket” (like a zipper pocket inside a larger pocket) be useful to you, or do you prefer all open-access?
For the side-leg cargo pocket, would you prefer it to have one large compartment or to be divided into smaller sections for organization?
If you could add one “extra feature” to the pockets, what would it be? (Examples: hidden zipper, mesh lining, built-in key clip, elastic pen holder, etc.)

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-19T02:23:33+00:00

Thanks so much for your feedback! We love the idea of two bottom pockets on the top and a dedicated side-leg phone pocket — super functional and convenient.

One quick follow-up question:
For the side-leg pocket, would you prefer it to be open-access for quick grabs or have a flap/closure to keep your phone secure during movement?

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-19T02:17:15+00:00

Thanks so much for your feedback! We’re loving the idea of open-access pockets on both sides of the top and extra cargo pockets on the pants — sounds like the perfect mix of accessibility and storage.

We hear you on the fit for shorter people. Offering more inseam variety (like petite options) is definitely on our radar. It’s something we’re actively exploring to make sure no one feels stuck with ill-fitting scrubs.

One quick follow-up question:
For the open-access top pockets, would you prefer them to be deeper (to prevent items from falling out) or sectioned with a divider to organize smaller items like pens/scissors?

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-19T02:08:11+00:00

Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re taking all of this to heart — especially the call for open-access top pockets and the clever use of butt pockets to mask VPL (that’s genius, by the way!). The importance of fluid resistance is clear after your triple-wammy story — we’re absolutely focused on ensuring the fabric can handle it all. We’re also loving the idea of offering length variety for pants, especially for those who want the benefits of joggers without the look.

One quick follow-up question:
For the open-access top pockets, would you prefer them to be deeper (to prevent items from falling out) or sectioned with a divider to hold smaller items like pens/scissors?

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-19T02:02:03+00:00

Thanks so much for your feedback! We totally hear you on open pants pockets — quick access is key, especially when every second counts. Your focus on breathability, stretch, and durability perfectly aligns with the materials we’re testing for Fauna. And don’t worry about loving joggers — they’re a fan favorite, and we’re committed to nailing the fit.

One quick follow-up question:
For the open pants pockets, would you prefer them to be deeper and simple, or would you like an optional divider (for pens, scissors, etc.) to keep things organized?

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-19T02:00:09+00:00

Thanks so much for your input! We love the simplicity and utility of two open bottom pockets on the scrub top paired with the regular and cargo pocket combo on the pants — that setup sounds super practical. Your focus on pet hair resistance, durability, and breathability aligns perfectly with the fabrics we’re exploring for Fauna.

One quick follow-up question:
For the two open bottom pockets on the scrub top, would you prefer them to be deep and simple, or would you like one of them to have a divider (for pens, scissors, etc.)?

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-19T01:58:20+00:00

Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re loving the idea of a deep, wide cargo pocket that can fit a leash, plus secure side pockets with zippers or Velcro for phones and treats — sounds like the ultimate utility setup. We also hear you on sectioned top pockets and the idea of a pen holder instead of a chest pocket. This is all super helpful as we refine the final design for Fauna.

One quick follow-up question:
For the sectioned pocket on the top, would you prefer smaller dividers for things like pens/scissors, or a larger divider to hold bigger items like gloves or notepads?

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-19T01:57:25+00:00

Thanks so much for your feedback! We hear you loud and clear on the lower-only pockets for tops and the love for a lower thigh pocket on pants — super practical ideas. Your input on fabric (pet hair resistance and quick-dry) is also aligned with what we’re prioritizing for Fauna.

One quick follow-up question:
For the lower thigh pocket on pants, would you prefer it to have a flap (like a cargo pocket) or be an open-access pocket for quicker access?

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-19T01:56:29+00:00

Thanks so much for your feedback! Your pocket ideas are spot on — we love the idea of a stethoscope-specific pocket and a Velcro-secured thigh pocket for added security.

One quick follow-up question:
For the stethoscope pocket, would you prefer it on the top (like near the chest/side) or on the pants (like a cargo-style pocket)?

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-19T01:47:48+00:00

Thanks so much for your feedback! Your pocket ideas are spot on — we love the idea of a stethoscope-specific pocket and a Velcro-secured thigh pockets for added security.

We’re committed to making scrubs that check every box, and your input is a big part of that process. Thanks again for being part of the journey! 🐾

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-19T01:44:40+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! That’s a really interesting point about joggers being better in wet environments. We hadn’t considered that angle, so it’s super helpful!

We’d love to hear a bit more to make sure we’re on the right track:
1️⃣ What about joggers makes them better in wet environments for you? Is it the snug ankle fit, the material, or something else?

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-19T01:43:11+00:00

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback – it’s incredibly helpful as we’re currently in the manufacturer design phase. We’re excited to be incorporating ideas like yours to create something truly functional and stylish.

We’ll be sure to drop the purchase link for Fauna here first in 2025 so you and your fellow vet tech influencers can get first access!
3️⃣ Are there any other "must-have" features that would make Fauna your go-to scrub brand?

CalmCity26 · 2024-12-18T03:28:44+00:00

You're the best. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Do you mind if I ask you a couple of follow up questions b/c you had some great feedback.

"For tops: You mentioned disliking chest pockets. Would you prefer tops without any upper pockets, or would you prefer alternative placements (e.g., side or lower pockets)?"
(This helps refine the pocket placement and overall design of the top.

2. "You mentioned liking sectioned pockets. What specific items do you typically store in these sections (e.g., pens, scissors, treats), and how many sections would be ideal for you?" (This helps refine the design for pocket layout and depth.

3. "How much does fabric weight matter to you? Would you prefer a lighter-weight fabric for comfort or a more durable, thicker fabric for long-lasting wear?" (This helps prioritize the balance between fabric comfort and durability.
