How to Save Money at Bond Vet - Capitol Hill
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

Amazing vet experience! My dog is very nervous at the vet and everyone there made him feel so comfortable. They have a wide variety of treats while you wait which made him happy! Everyone was so friendly and patient he started warming up. By the end he did so well we even left with some swag 🦴 P.S. I’m a helicopter dog mom and the Dr. answered all my questions and concerns about my dogs allergies and anxiety instead of brushing it off like other vets.

Polo’s (year old Yorkie) first time going to Bond Vet was an excellent experience. He roamed around, sniffed everything & was spoiled and rubbed, loved very well. The care provided by vet Jackie was superb! We thank you kindly and will tell others Bond Vet is the place to try.

An amazing Vet Clinic. Looks and feels like a real doctors office. So neatly and clean. The veterinarians are pleasant and very knowledgeable, and they really takes care of your pet. I will recommend them to everyone I know with a pet.

Original Review: They were incredibly easy to schedule with, were straightforward about cost before providing the services, and very knowledgable. The office is clean and everyone is friendly. My dog was seen on time and diagnosed in a matter of minutes. Updated Review: However, I have asked for certain paperwork for an insurance appeal and it is now almost taken 1 month and I still have not received the requested paperwork. I have now called 4 times and received many empty promises.

I am so disgusted with this office. Clearly all they care about is gouging people for money, not actually taking care of animals. My partner was rushing home from the office early so we could drive our pug for her first appointment here. Normally I would just walk her over but it’s 100 degrees outside and unsafe conditions for her. So we arrive at literally 3:10, when our appointment is at 3:00, and I had called ahead of time to let them know we’d be late, and they said they have a 10 minute grace period. And they turned us away!! They claimed that their vet was “now too busy to see us.” We’d either have to pay a $120 “walk-in” fee to be seen right then, or come back at 7:30 pm. Even though their office and waiting room were completely empty!! And they charge a $50 cancellation fee. So because we were legitimately 30 seconds to 1 minute past their grace period, we’d have to now pay these ridiculous fees. They were incredibly rude and refused to accommodate us in any capacity. I will never return here and highly do not recommend, since they obviously have no regard for actually treating the pets who need care.
