Going through shifts in the Animal Hospital is not easy. You will need various boosts to help maintain your sanity or increase your speed, and that's where items come into play. Many items at the Animal Hospital can help you survive. In this guide, I will show you all of them and explain what they do. 

All Usable Items in Animal Hospital

These are items you can carry and actively use during your shift. However, the game doesn't check whether the item in your hand is meant for a patient. Using the wrong item on a patient can instantly kill them, so always be careful about what you're holding when walking near patients.

All Supplies Shop Items in Animal Hospital

The Supplies Shop, run by the Shopkeeper Nurse, opens after each shift. Three random items appear for sale, and you have 3 minutes to buy before the window closes. Items sell out once purchased, so act fast in multiplayer. A reroll costs 6 Robux if you don't like what's available.
