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.

My experience as a walk-in was very nice walking in the place is very clean. The front desk representative was very friendly as soon as I got checked in, and I was speaking to the nurse and the veterinarian. They were very attentive very open to wanting to hear what was going on with my Puppy they even provided information about insurances and extra help in regards to the needs of my Puppy. Overall, the experience was very good. Of course cost is going to be a lot, especially for your puppies needs, but that’s a given, but they were very nice about breaking down prices and what was necessary for the health

Awesome experience My two year old Mastiff had a UTI and i could not get a appointment with the vet soon enough. I made an appt online and was able to take my dog in to be seen that afternoon. The office is beautiful and staff extremely friendly. The process check in was quick and streamlined. The price was reasonable. Im glad they are a short walk away in my neighborhood. They have late appointments too

PROS: - clean, pet-friendly environment - always have same-day appts - knowledgeable & friendly vets - quick prescription approval & easy to reach a person CONS: - care is on the pricey side - may not *need* everything on the recommended care plan, be discerning I go to Bond whenever my cat has an emergency or time-sensitive need where I'm willing to pay for the convenience of a same-day appt and a quick prescription fill. For annual check-ups, fecals etc I use other vets that have more affordable prices but may be a bit slower. I do love & recommend Bond!

Yesterday took my boy Oscar for his annual check and also expressed my concerns about his weight gain. The doctor was so attentive, answered all of my questions, Ozzy got his annual exam, vaccines, his bloodwork and also his eye checked, his brother might of scratched him by accident because eye was watering, we got eye drops for it and the eye got better right away. Taking my other two cats for their annual soon too. Very happy and will recommend Bonds vet to all my friends and neighbors of Lower East Side.
