Bond Vet Raises $17M Series A to Redefine Veterinary Care
New York-based veterinary startup Bond Vet has closed a $17 million Series A funding round led by Talisman Capital Partners. The innovative company is transforming pet healthcare by blending urgent and primary care services in a tech-enabled clinic model inspired by CityMD’s success in human healthcare.
Bridging the Gap in Veterinary Services
Bond Vet addresses a critical need in pet care by offering:
- Walk-in urgent care without membership requirements
- Comprehensive primary care (vaccinations, check-ups)
- Hybrid clinic model combining in-person and telehealth services
Tech-Forward Approach to Pet Care
The startup distinguishes itself through thoughtful design and technology:
Clinic Innovations:
- Slip-resistant floors for pet safety
- Owner-friendly exam tables for comfort during procedures
Digital Advantages:
- Proprietary telehealth platform for pre/post-appointment communication
- Back-end efficiency tools for veterinarians (automated note-taking, etc.)
- Mobile app for easy scheduling and access
“Our operational efficiencies allow us to offer emergency services at significantly lower costs than traditional vet ERs,” explains co-founder and CEO Mo Punjani. “While primary care pricing remains competitive, we’re making urgent care more accessible.”
Market Opportunity and Growth
With the pet care market projected to exceed $100 billion (American Pet Products Association), Bond Vet is well-positioned in this growing sector. Key metrics:
- 15,000+ unique pets treated since June 2019 launch
- 100-person team with 80% female workforce
- Plans to expand into suburban markets in 2021
The funding will accelerate technological development and physical expansion, reinforcing Bond Vet’s mission to make high-quality veterinary care more accessible and affordable for pet owners.
