Hi, We're bond Vet.
We’re on a mission to strengthen the human-animal bond through better pet care, and we started with a new approach: urgent care.
Because much like humans, pets often show symptoms for which an ER visit is not necessary, but a primary care clinic may not be able to make time for. We felt there should be a comforting, transparent, and thorough place for pet parents to get answers, quickly.
Since we opened in June 2019 in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, we’ve treated tens of thousands of cats and dogs. And as we’ve grown, we’ve expanded our services into those of a full-service veterinary clinic, offering our trademark urgent care, as well as routine care, like wellness exams, vaccines and spay/neuter, as well as surgeries, dental cleanings, and international health certificates.
This range not only benefits our clients — who can almost always get a same-day appointment when needed — but also our medical team, for whom a broad case mix provides opportunities to learn, grow and practice at the top of their license. Diverse cases keep the team engaged and deepens their passion for veterinary medicine.
And that’s what we’re all about — at our core, Bond is focused on the people. That might sound unexpected for a vet clinic, but it’s true. We developed Bond to provide both sustainable veterinary careers and outstanding medical care. That’s a win for everyone because caring for our team helps them care for your pets. And with current trends in pet ownership, there are a lot more pets out there to care for! Below, you can meet the people who dedicate their lives to doing just that.

Our Values
The values that drive us to practice the best medicine.
The love we feel for animals drives us to do our best — we’re not afraid to roll around on the ground with a pup, and we love the kitten snuggles and puppy breath that greet us each day. We work with initiative, positivity and warmth to bridge the gap between human and pet, focusing on wellness to keep a better, stronger bond — we know pets are family.
We’re knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about a better veterinary experience. We jump at the opportunity to help one another and seek out opportunities to make the clinic cleaner and more effective, and our culture more collaborative and joyful. We’re all in this together — our team, pet owners, and the animal — and our success as a team hinges on us all doing our best.
We speak up, we do what we say, and we’re transparent and honest. We value clear, simple communication, and we pride ourselves on our deep knowledge of animal health and commitment to better care.
We all bring a happy, positive attitude to work because it impacts the energy in the clinic and our relationships with clients. Our work is demanding and emotional, yet even in the darkest times, we bring positive energy and compassion.
We’re building a new kind of vet experience, and we approach care with a fresh perspective to do right by each pet. We take pride in the role we provide in pet care, and every team member is empowered to try new things and own their decision-making.
