I am very happy with Bon-vet ,Liily has been going to the bon-vet on lower manhattan since she was 3 months .They are very attentive and i usually pop in with any questions and i leave well informed. I enjoy the way they nurture Lilly (pet dog) very warm and i always get a good comment on how well behave she has been. I would recommend Bon -vet to all who are interested in having a good medical home for their pet. Lilly is very spoiled by all ,here is Lilly now and one when she was a puppy! Look how time goes by. Thank You to all Bon-Vet Staff. *****

I've always had a good experience with all my dogs. They are very professional and very caring and patient. My yorkie is a very anxious and nervous dog and the experience she's had with other vets have been difficult, she seemed like a different dog when I took her to bond vet, calm very calm.

I had an emergency when my 9lb. poodle, Molly, jumped/dove off my desk before I was able to put my hand under her. She landed, with a splat(!), on her face and front paws, and really hurt herself. I was able to walk into the clinic and we were immediately seen by a nurse and then the doctor. There's something special about the staff, from the receptionist, to the nurse, to the doctor, to the clinic's manager -- ALL helped in making sure everything was taken care of, all my questions were answered, and I had everything I needed. Upon leaving, and learning that it was my first time there -- I was given a large free bag of treats! Later I received the 'medical record' which was the summary of our visit, and it was so precise, clear, and understandable as to next steps. The following day, they followed up to see how Molly was doing. I couldn't have asked for more! CARE is what they are all about! Thank you Essence, Irene, Dr. Shuttleworth, and Brooke : ) ) ) ) )

I wanted to give a shout out to Dr. Collini and the amazing team of technicians and front staff at Bond Vet East Village for the incredibly prompt and amazing urgent care they provided my granddog, Milo, when he was attacked by an 80 pound dog 3 blocks from their location. I am Milo’s veterinarian but live two states away. Both he and my daughter were so very shaken. They immediately saw to both of them and were so gracious, compassionate, and comforting. Thank you for being there and for all that you do!
