This gap is especially important in toxicologic pathology, where microscopic tissue examination of laboratory animals is a core component of preclinical drug safety assessment. To address it, we introduce VIPER, the first expert-curated benchmark for vision-language model evaluation in toxicologic pathology. VIPER contains 1,251 questions associated with 419 H&E-stained rat histology images across seven organ systems, covering multiple-choice, KPrim, and free-text formats. All questions were curated and validated by board-certified veterinary pathologists. In total, we benchmarked 16 models, including two newly introduced veterinary-pathology models, seven human pathology-specialized models, and seven general-purpose frontier models. The results identify a substantial domain gap between veterinary and human pathology, expose the risk of over-diagnosis of normal tissue in frontier models, and show that domain-specific training remains critical for visually grounded predictions. VIPER data and evaluation code are available at https://github.com/mahmoodlab/viper.
