How to Save Money at Bond Vet - Forest Hills

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.

Getting 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.

My first time coming in this location & I loved it!! Very nice receptionist, clean environment. Spacious and organized! The doctors & nurses here are so kind and helpful, they make sure every concern is addressed and they make sure you’re comfortable with everything that is being done. 10/10. I definitely recommend it!

Bond Vet in Forest Hills is absolutely amazing. From the moment we walked in the door I knew we were in the right place. Soon as we walked in the door the receptionist said “Welcome Chewy” she knew who we were without even asking the normal routine questions. We came in because Chewy wasn’t eating for two days and like the crazy first puppy parents we are we took him in and I’m glad we did. He also isn’t sleeping at night. But they did a full check up on him, talked us through everything they were doing. They really made our nerves go away. Every single person we encountered there was amazing. You guys are doing a great job! We will be back for checkups and for all of Chewy’s needs! Thank you! Gina John and Chewy!!

I had such a great first experience at Bond Vet with my Russian Blue cat Ernie. The whole team was great! He gets very nervous going to the vet so we gave him his Gabapentin before but was still a bit hissy. I felt so confident with Dr. Karandikar and Nurse Yuli though because they were not stressed or phased at all! Ernie ended up needing a lot of work due to intense constipation but Dr. Karandikar made my husband and I feel so much better and answered our 100 questions. They also have a great relationship with the Blue Pearl Animal Hospital which was helpful. I thought all their prices were very fair and transparent. It was such a calming environment. We will def continue to work with Dr. Karandikar in the future!

Came here for a follow up visit for my cat Mimi after she got her teeth extracted and has been on treatment for asthma. Dr. Karandikar was excellent at breaking everything down and her assistant was very nice as well and both were careful with Mimi. Recommend bond vet for your pet healthcare needs excellent vet with nice facilities.

We moved my 7y/o cat, Mosby, from Charlotte, NC to Kew Gardens this year. I took him to two separate vets (one being an emergency clinic) in the area trying to find him care that somewhat compared to his previous. Third time's a charm! I am so grateful that we gave Bond Vet a chance. The booking process is seamless, the facility is clean, and the office staff is personable and kind. Regardless of taking gabapentin beforehand, my boy historically fights it and hyperventilates through the entire experience. At past vet visits, I have never seen him as calm as he was with Dr. Karandikar and her staff. She not only met, but exceeded my previous expectations. She takes her time to put you and your pet at ease, while clearly displaying her exceptional knowledge of veterinary medicine. But don't just take my word for it... pictured is the man himself who usually remains in hiding for hours after getting home. Guess grudges aren't for vet visits anymore! ‍ Mosby and I are so happy that we found our new vet that we both love.
