The Bond Between Veterinary Center

I had to find a vet in the area to establish care for my dog after moving temporarily to Minneapolis. I was a little disappointed initially because of the costs and the fact that they would not manage my dogs NextMune allergy desensitization treatment. (They wanted me to see an allergy specialist). My dog had urine stones, which they wanted to take an MRI of or multiple x-rays multiple times, but that was very expensive, so we ended up putting my dog on the diet and letting her pass them naturally, and then confirming they were gone with 1 x-ray (instead of more costly imaging). However, I have been impressed with Dr. Gohr, particularly when my dog broke out in hives from an allergic reaction, and she spent 20 minutes on the phone with me walking me through a medication routine to use. She helped calm my anxiety significantly and I was able to avoid a trip to urgent care.

Overall, I had a wonderful experience bringing our 13 year old golden to Secondhand Hounds Vet Center! We initially took our dog to SSHVC for a second opinion regarding his arthritis. The veterinarian was able to present us several options, as well as, the value in each option. I was impressed with the staff's professionalism, care, and respect. Rest assured, we will be continuing our dog's care with SSHVC!

This was Frank and I's first visit to the SHHVC. I was very impressed with my whole experience. The receptionists are amazing, Dr. Mueller and the tech were great and answered all my questions. Frank is reactive with other dogs and they were so kind to accommodate us by bringing the card reader into the exam room and making sure no other dogs were in the lobby when we left. You will not be disappointed with your experience here!

I did not realize what good vet care could be like until SHH vet center. Dr. Erin and the vet staff are absolutely incredible. She is a very clear communicator, empathetic person, and aware/sensitive about the cost of treatment. So glad we made the switch. I think the prices are very reasonable and the bottom line goes back into an incredible organization.

I have been a foster mom for almost 5 years with Secondhand hounds, now re-branding to The Bond, which I really love. I have fostered puppies, adults, and most recently a hospice pup. The Twin Cities and and country, frankly, is very lucky to have this organization to save so many dogs. We as fosters, pick up where they leave off but they never leave your side. They do community events and I even just gotthe sweetest email for holiday photos for my HOSPICE pup! He even got to be featured as dog of the game at the Saint Paul saints, baseball game. I am very honored to be a part of such an amazing life + world changing organization. I’m so happy she came up with the idea and kept going forward with it.
