Hello!
Your tags are related to working in a Vet’s office. If you’re looking for any role within an established animal clinic/hospital, you will most likely be wearing scrubs. I suggest having an extra pair in your car/locker/bag because you might get dirty one day.
If you’re looking into special clothes for school, that depends on the school. At a Vocational school you will likely wear scrubs starting day 1, but they will be specific (they might require a certain color or brand). In a 4 year college, you might need to wear scrubs to specific classes, but you will be told about it before hand. You won’t need anything special for your first year or 2 because you’ll be taking mostly prerequisites.

Vet Assistant here. Related attire is completely dependent on company policy and protocol. Some places want everyone from the vets to the techs to the front desk in scrubs. I work at a place where the front if business casual and the back dresses pretty much however they want aside from ridiculous choices (i.e. no sandals obviously).
It's not very expensive to get a few cheap pairs of scrubs but check where you'd be working first since you might not even need them. I spent my first 3 years in the field wearing a collared tee and khakis by choice so it's not too unusual if they let you dress like a youth pastor.
