Any suggestions?

Gift card to Petsmart (or other pet stores)
Catered lunch for the office or gift card to a really nice restaurant
I'm not sure how extravagant you want to be and I am not a pet owner so just off of the top of my head, I offer the above.

I'd send a card with a photo of you and your pet, and a box of candy or flowers. The gals up front will appreciate the treat, and the vet will add your pet's photo to his wall 
Glad it all turned out ok.

I think sending a lunch over (with some notice so they know it's coming) would be something any office would appreciate. It's especially nice because the whole office can enjoy it. I think it's a very nice gesture to do anything though...

I like this idea, and it doesn't have to cost much. Subway caters, or Pizza.

I vote for having food delivered. A friend of mine used to work in a vet's and sometimes they got sooooo slammed it was hard to go and get something to eat.

Or, if lunch is too much, you can have a local coffee shop (maybe chains will do it too, I don't know) prepare a few pots of regular and flavored coffees along with some scones or cinnamon rolls or something. That way, if the office pace is too quick for lunch, people can just grab a cup of java and a muffin whenever they get the chance. This seems to go over well at my vet's office.
(You could also include a small bowl of dog treats - from your dog, of course - for the vet's four-legged friends. My vet has a several dogs/cats who stay at the office during the day, so we usually try to include them whenever we treat the office staff.)

Along the same lines, my first thought was to have a nice spread of bagels and cream cheese delivered, with coffee and juice, etc.

At my office, we like pizza, muffins/bagels, subs, cake, cookies. Mostly food since we do surgeries and dental cleanings during the lunch hour.
Stay away from petsmart/petco gift cards, as we can usually get most of that stuff cheaper from suppliers.

Our dog sends pizza to the staff on his birthday. But, they've seen him through three surgeries so far, and they are SO NICE to him!
