How to Save Money at Bond Vet - Lower East Side

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.

Bond Vet on the LES NY has the best doctors and team! They have taken care of our little everything ‘Bagel’ and treat him like he’s the most special boy. Bagel likes to stop by on his way to the park for some kisses and treats. We were very lucky to have them help raise our first child.

They treated my baby boy Rambo with such care that I will be coming here to Bond Vet for now on. I had a veterinarian for 10 years, and I brought all of my pets there. Unfortunately, though, they always made sure they would tell me the cost first before starting treatment, I also always had to put up half or more. Here at Bond Vet, they handled my Rambo so well, and they actually cared what was in his best interest. If you love your furbaby as much as I love mine, then I highly recommend coming to Bond Vet.

Today 9/17/22 my baby Missy had her first appointment for a wellness check and vaccines. I was on a tight budget, so the fact that for new clients the first exam is only $25 is Awesome. She also explained the cost of any future visit, which is $125 after the first visit. All of the staff are very welcoming and helpful. When I walked in I was greeted by beautiful decor and a very sweet gentleman who attended to us as soon as we walked in. It took about five minutes for the vet assistant to come out and get us which is great timing. We went into this nice room and she complimented my little Missy with genuineness. She did the basic stuff asked the basic questions as is to be expected. She listened thoroughly to all of my questions and comments. She also gave Missy a treat before the doctor came in. Dr. Tong is super nice and gentle, he physically examined Missy and took his time. Whenever she was squirming the assistant and he would pet her to try to calm her. He answered every question I had as well as offered me information I needed to know. All around he is a pleasant Dr. After us all speaking they took Missy to another room for her shots and he also gave me a complimentary nail trimming which was a super great surprise. When they finished a nurse brought her out to me and gave me her paperwork and things to look out for since she had her shots. I really love this place because of the people. You can just really tell they really care about animals. I also got a free tote bag, hat, scarf and tennis ball. Super important, Missy's carrier was to small and I was going to be late. I called them up and explained the situation and how I had to go buy one, she was very understanding. She informed me there is a same day reschedule fee but she would wave it for me because of my situation and would also inform the doctor as well.

I have been to Bond Vet a few times and I really like it. The office is awesome and their availability across the city is great, especially when it comes to emergencies. When I brought my baby there, everyone was so kind and I felt like I left her in great care.They kept me updated after I left and she was just perfect after pickup.
