Bond Vet is on a mission to strengthen the human‑animal bond through better pet care. We offer primary and urgent care, so we’re there for pets when they need us most. Our clinics are designed with pets and people in mind: warm, friendly, and highly sniffable. We balance this design with a strong focus on technology, all built in‑house, which means we can easily innovate our systems to improve the veterinary team, pet, and client experience.
Step out of the classroom and into real‑world veterinary medicine! BondVet’s DVM Student Externship Program gives 3rd‑ and 4th‑year veterinary students the chance to gain hands‑on experience in a fast‑paced, mentorship‑driven clinic environment.
You’ll work directly with patients, assist with procedures, observe surgeries, and engage with pet parents—all under the guidance of our experienced doctors and veterinary team. This is your opportunity to sharpen your skills, explore your clinical interests, and grow as a future veterinarian.
